luxury penthouse in the heart of Rome with two terrific terraces on the domes

Idyllic apartment on Via Giulia, one of the most beautiful streets in the center of Rome. We loved our stay here and hope to return!

We had a great two weeks in the apartment. It is old, almost like staying in a museum, the art is terrific, and the location is marvelous. The amenities are older, but the place has a lot of charm.

The apartment is beautiful, with an excellent balcony, plenty of art, paintings and books, and the location is perfect — close to everything and very convenient.However, we were a group of 6, including two elderly family members and one pregnant woman, and the listing was misleading. It advertised 3 king beds and 1 single, but in reality there was only 1 king, a pull-out couch, a single, and a double bed upstairs. The pull-out couch had a very thin, springy mattress that was impossible to sleep on, so one couple ended up splitting up — one on the single bed and the other on the couch.When we arrived, the intercom wasn’t working. Since we didn’t have SIM cards, we couldn’t call the host, and if it hadn’t been for our driver, we’re not sure how we would have entered the building.The apartment was also quite dusty, with yellowed pillows, which made it less comfortable. When we raised these issues, the host stopped replying, which was disappointing.

firstly, it is a great location, fifth floor (with two person elevator) overlooks Tiber, near Campo d' Fiore and walking distance to many great sites. the advert isn't exactly correct on bedrooms. it has a large master bedroom with nice king size bed and a full bath (no tub), an upstairs low headroom loft has a nice king size bed and full bath (huge jetted tub doesn't work) but shower does. There is a nice king size pullout sofa on first floor in office and a twin bed in a loft both that share a 3rd full bath) so 3 bedrooms 3 full bath and an office with a king pullout sofa. all beds reported as sleeping well. the building water pressure is funky as all showers would flow stop for a second and flow again, once you understood how it worked, it wasn't an issue.it's quite large. we ended up using the outdoor table and the TV room for most gatherings. kitchen has everything, the wood burning stove didn't have any accoutrements. no napkins or paper towels provided, a surprise to us as plating food first time.the caretaker doesn't speak fluent English but his mixture of italian, spanish, english and pantomine communicated effectively, would rent again

Unlike some places I have stayed, this one was exactly as promised except location which was even better than I expected. Checking in was very easy and both Olga and Manuel were very accommodating about the timing. There were four of us arriving at different times and we had no problem. I most highly recommend this rental to anyone needing up to 7 sleeping spots.

It was very nice, older with a lot of steps in the home. They had a elevator to get up to the fifth floor museum type interior very nice though.

We loved our stay here and the location was perfect for us. I picked the property for the size and location and was fully prepared by previous reviews for both the charm and the wear of the apartment - it is in one of the oldest streets in Rome and very central. The only caution is that I did not pick up until just before we went that the third bedroom is in fact a sofa bed in the study with no closet or drawer space. And that to access the second bedroom you needed to go through the study as it is in the roof. This may not present an issue for a family but was awkward for our group. The stairs up to both the second bedroom and the daybed room were too steep for the elderly couple of the party and they could not have slept on the sofa bed due to the inevitable thinness of the mattress. The single day bed in the fourth room was too small and too hard to be of much help so in my view this is a 2 bedroom property with a sofa bed in the study. There were 3 bathrooms and 3 sofas as well as 2 armchairs in the lounge which meant that the promise of plenty of space for multiple people was there. Provided that this works for your group or family you will not be disappointed. We did not use the dining room or the room with the pool table as it was a very hot week and the air conditioning needed to be focused on the rooms we were using. As noted elsewhere the pool table is not useable and if I was the owner I would consider removing it and making this room into a proper bedroom.

We enjoyed being so centrally located in the city - convenient to everything! The rooftop terrace provided wonderful views of the city, and the apartment itself is an amazing piece of history!

This extremely charming and sophisticated apartment lies in the center of Rome providing guests easy access to all of Rome's most celebrated sites and landmarks. The apartment is very much a traditional home and provides ample space for settling in and relaxing after a long day of site seeing. The decor is classic and ideal for someone who wants to experience Rome in an authentic Italian-style home.

This apartment is extremely spacious and rustic. I loved the old world feel and decor. We didn’t get to use the kitchen but it was very inviting. The roof-top terrace was beautiful! My only minor concern was the curtains & furniture covers. I feel like they need an update/thorough washing. But the owner was super nice and helpful and quick to respond. What an amazing life they must have lived there❤️ I am thankful to have stumbled upon this property.

It was ideally located near the Vatican, the Colosseum and Trastevere. We used the bus system which was a close walk. Love having a supermarket and gelato shops so close by. It was spacious and had a washer and dryer which was so convenient. The apartment was decorated with very interesting art and a lot of books and we enjoyed the pool table.
