The Vatican Penhouse with Terrace was ideal for walking to visit St. Peter's Basilica,Museum and the Sistene Chapel. The accommodation was perfect for three couples and the terrance was a bonus to have. It did say it's on the third floor, and had 80 stairs to climb. We would highly recommend this location to friends and family.
Stayed over Eater weekend and it was an excellent location and wonderful apartment. Only small issue with getting into property but was resolved quickly.
Maria was an excellent hostess who went above and beyond to find me a dentist during my stay. Although it is up 4 flights of stairs, the view and the terrace are incredible.

Beautiful penthouse with everything you need. Would definitely stay again!
We had a multigenerational group and had a great time in the apartment. The patio was excellent, rooms are comfortable, and the location makes it easy to explore Rome. The host was exceptionally helpful with setting up our transports. We would stay there again.
The apartment was spacious, clean, and well furnished with a fabulous location and host. The description was accurate. There were good restaurants, markets, ATMs, and gelato within blocks and the Vatican was so close. The patio and views were added bonuses. This perfectly met the needs of our family of six adults. All our needs for space and amenities were met.
This was our first trip to Rome, Maria was super helpful and accommodating. Excellent location for walking to all the sites. Apartment is very clean and had plenty of room for our family.
This apartment and host deserve more than an 10/10! We have stayed in many VRBOs and this has been the best experience we have ever had! The location of the apartment, the exceptional host, the cleanliness of the apartment- made this trip so special! We had a family of 6 staying here and we had plenty of space for all of us. Maria arranged all of our transportation and that was so helpful for our vacation. They always arrived on time and the price was told to us before we ever even left for our vacation. Thank you so much Maria for allowing us to stay and for your amazing hospitality! We would love to come back soon!
We loved our stay. Fantastic location, clean and very comfortable and lots of amenities. Lots of bars and restaurants very close. And you can see the top of St Peters Dome. The host Maria was so helpful and even booked transport for us.
Highly recommended. We hope to come back.
The Check-in and communication between Maria and myself was amazing! She was always there to help and answer any questions! The flat itself was amazing we had a group of 9 and all had our own space as well as great location for any of the Vatican activities as well as a phenomenal view of the Vatican and Saint Peter’s Dome! Would highly recommend this place for anyone interested in exploring this area of Roma!
Great apartment and Maria and her daughter were extremely accommodating. Rome was extremely hot in August but the air conditioning in the home was great so it didn't bother us at night. Walking distance to the Vatican with a number of good restaurants near by as well as a large taxi stand close by. Highly recommend and would stay here again.
Comfortable and spacious apt for wife and I and our 3 adult children. Its nicely equipped and the host was so helpful with setting up car service to and from the airport. No elevator was no issue to do the stairs to the 3rd floor.
We so enjoyed our stay in Rome and it was made all the better with such a beautiful apartment to stay in. The location was wonderful, the apartment was clean and spacious and the view of the Vatican could not be beat! It was very easy working with Maria and the orientation by Camilla was a warm welcome to Rome. We will definitely try to return in the future!

Wonderful Apartment
What a fabulous apartment in a great location! It is in such close proximity to The Vatican (and Museum), restaurants, shops and the taxi line is just across the street. The apartment itself is spacious and lovely with everything you could want - including air conditioning! And Maria and Camilla could not have been any nicer. This is a great place to stay in Rome, indeed.
We had such an amazing time in Rome and the apartment size, location and host experience made all the difference. Maria and Camilla arranged transportation for us throughout our stay, gave us amazing local restaurant and experiences to enjoy which made the difference in us being able to have an authentic Italian vacation. If you’re going to Rome, you must stay in this apartment!

Why they chose this property
This is my family's apartment and I have lived here for many years. It means a lot to me, so I would never sell it.
