About this property

THE MUSE your home facing St. Peter’s Dome

This new apartment THE MUSE completely renovated is located on the 5th floor ( that you reach by an elevator ) of a building facing the Vatican, decorated and furnished with taste, equipped with all the necessary for a very pleasant stay in Rome. St Peter Station is located 5 minutes walking from the apartment from where you can reach by train Fiumicino Airport or Civitavecchia port and where the major cruise lines embark. You can enjoy the spectacular view of the Dome, illuminated during the night from the balcony which all the rooms overlook.
There are two very large bedrooms with a king size bed and in one of them a double sofa bed if necessary, for a child. Each room has its ensuite bathroom with shower that offer you comfort and privacy. There is a very well equipped kitchen with a dining area, opening on a private balcony with table and chairs where you can have breakfast or dinner around a nice set table. We offer also air condition or heating, wifi and TV, a washing machine, the iron as well as linens, towels free of charge, shampoo and soap complimentary as well.
The apartment is walking distance from the Vatican, 10 minutes by foot on Via Gregorio VII a side street that runs along the Vatican walls. On Via Gregorio VII you will find so many amenities, very nice coffee shops, good restaurants, self service, banks, pharmacy, a laundry, a newspaper shop, gelato shops, an open market Italian way but the best of the best is a supermarket in the same building of the apartment " Carrefour" open from 07.00 am to midnight every day.
In front of the house there is a bus stop. In 2 stops you will be in front of St. Peter Colonnade and Basilica, the same bus 916 will cross the bridge on the Tiber river and will reach downtown, in fact one of the centers of Rome Piazza Navona, Campo dei Fiori, Largo Argentina to end in Piazza Venezia from where through Via dei Fori Imperiali you will reach walking the Colosseum and the Forum area.
We are used to meet our guests upon arrival to give them our suggestions for a very pleasant stay in Rome.

We have also HERTZ rent a car round the corner if you decide to continue your trip in Italy by car or Sixt rent a car on Via Gregorio VII.
You will not be disappointed about our apartment, about the area and especially for our continue assistance once in Rome.

Perfect for two couples spending four days in Rome before cruise. Loved the location. We walked to all of the sites - Vatican, Colloseum, Roman Forum, Palentine Hill, Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain. Great places to eat within the block. Great communication and help arranging transportation.

During our entire stay the host was very responsive to all of our questions, and was there to help us at any time. The transportation back and forth from the airport was seamless, and they knew what we needed to have a successful trip. The apartment was kept pristine, and was stocked with everything we needed from linens to kitchen supplies. It was in a perfect location. Only 10 minutes from Saint Peter’s and the Vatican, and also 25 minutes walking to central Rome. We loved staying here.

Paola and her partner Romula were very a delight to book with. They communicated quickly and easily and offered great suggestions for the area! The apartment location was great-easy to get to major sites. It was clean and very comfortable. Pillows were a little stiff for one person in our group-are only recommendation to make an awesome place more awesome would be to have a few different types of pillows available.
