Vatican Penthouse with Terrace - St Peter's Dome view

Placed in one of the most central areas of the eternal city, this wonderful 160 m2 apartment is composed of a living room, a dining room, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a large terrace overlooking Saint Peter's dome; it comfortably hosts up to 8 guests.

The apartment has been completely renovated in 2013 and refurbished with both modern and original antique furniture. It is on the third and last floor of an historical building and for this reason there is no lift. Free Wi-Fi Internet is available in all parts of the apartment.

As soon as you enter, you will be fascinated by the spacious entrance and the long corridor through which you can access all areas of the property. The apt is provided with a 22sqm, which is an added value as buildings in the area usually don't have external spaces. Both from the terrace and the dining room windows you can see Via Cola di Rienzo, Piazza Risorgimento, the Vatican walls and St. Peter's dome.

The day area consists of a living room, with a double sofa bed, Satellite Tv, and a dining room with a very large table that can sit up to 10 people. A fully equipped kitchen completes the area, provided with oven, dish washer, toaster, kettle, Italian coffee maker and Nespresso coffee machine.

The night area is composed of three bedrooms: one is provided with two single beds, the other two have 2 doubled beds. The apt has 3 bathrooms, two provided with showers and one with a tub. Washing machine and dishwasher are available for our guests as well.

If needed, a single couch bed is in the dining room and can host an additional guest.

Amazing Location
We were a group consisting of 3 couples. Everyone having their own bathroom was excellent. The apartment was well appointed with what we needed. Beds were comfortable and space was clean. Sitting on the balcony at night was an added bonus. The location of the property is perfect. Our host, Maria was excellent and took the extra steps of arranging our transportation. Location was perfect! Highly recommend.

When in Rome…. Stay here!
We loved everything about the apartment. The views from the terrace, the surrounding restaurants and shops, the cleanliness of the bathrooms and kitchen, and the neighborhood felt safe. Maria was a wonderful host. She communicated very well with us at all points of our travel. She assisted us with transfers from airport and to train station. She went above and beyond to help us if/when needed. Highly recommend staying there especially if you like the comfort of having a host that has your back. Overall very easy and great experience! We would definitely stay there again! Bobby

Great apartment with tons of restaurants, shops and the Vatican nearby. We spend our Christmas holiday and this place and it was decorated with a Xmas tree for us to enjoy. A bottle of Prosecco and chocolates was left by the host, nice touch! Our host was gracious and arranged transportation from fumicino airport and to our ship in Civitavecchia! We did manage to get our steps in during our stay! This apartment has no lift! But we managed and planned our travel in and out of the apartment! Overall a great place!

Maria was an amazing host, she went way above and beyond to help us. She scheduled the shuttles from the train station and to the airport, called us several times to help us navigate our way to our driver. She was so, so helpful! The apartment was spacious and filled with, what I assumed, are family heirlooms. Beautiful vintage and antique furniture. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay, and the balcony, with the Vatican and St. Peter’s dome view, was our nightly wine enjoyment spot. I would highly recommend this Vatican View Penthouse. Thank you for a lovely visit Maria!

Six of us came to Rome to explore this beautiful city and also to enjoy a day at the Ryder Cup. The apartment was lovely and ideally situated, we particularly enjoyed sitting out on the terrace for coffee in the morning and wine at the end of the night! Maria could not have been more helpful, and organised taxis to and from the airport for us. I would definitely stay in this apartment again.

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.

We had a wonderful stay in Rome and this apartment was a comfortable place to come back to each evening. The air conditioning was a reprieve from the hot weather outside. We enjoyed the evening breezes on the rooftop deck as well as the views. Easy walk to Vatican City. Lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance, too.

Excellent location and huge apartment in one of the best Rome’s neighborhoods!
The apartment is huge, and the AC works perfectly (we stayed in Rome during the hottest week of Summer 2023), a 10-minute walk from the Vatican Museums, and great restaurants, supermarkets, and stores nearby. The host, Maria, booked 2 transfers for us which were extremely helpful (from Fiumicino and to Roma Termini). She always answered my questions and was super friendly. Thanks for hosting us!

We were very happy with our stay. The air conditioning worked so good and the three bathrooms and three bedrooms worked perfect for our family of 5. The beds were very comfortable. Check in process was so easy. Maria was so nice to help book a van to pick us up at the train station and pick us up again early for the airport on the day we left. Washing machine worked great and there were racks to hang towels on to dry. Would definitely recommend staying here. Only a 10 minute walk to the Vatican and around a 10 minute walk to the metro.

The apartment is very close to the Vatican! All the rooms are very large with ample space for my large family. Beautiful kitchen, dining area and a fabulous balcony! The only thing to consider when renting the apartment is the stairs. They are not for the faint of heart. But, after walking all over Rome… the stairs aren’t a problem. Beautiful Place! Wonderful Host! I would definitely return. Bella Italia!

Great host, great location
Camilla was an amazing, friendly and responsive host. She could not have been nicer. The apartment is in a great location, is very roomy and has a wonderful outdoor space. That said, the one big issue for me, and the reason I can’t give 5 stars is because of how very old, very dated and very worn everything in the apartment is. The beds, sheets, pillows, couches/cushions, etc, even the spare pillows in the closets (which are actually stained), everything smells and feels old and worn. I didn’t sleep well because I kept thinking of how many people had laid their heads on the lumpy and uncomfortable pillow I was trying to sleep on. I finally took a fresh bath towel and covered the pillow with it. You can only wash those types of things so many times over the years when at some point, they just stop feeling clean and fresh. The apartment in general is in desperate need of being updated, but If nothing else, the mattresses, linens, sofas and pillows need to be bought new. I didn’t even mind all of the many old personal effects of the owners or the old lamps, end tables, beds, etc which date back to I don’t know how many decades ago, but as a traveler, I need to feel like I can settle in to a clean, comfortable space and for me, that was not possible. If you’re not concerned with this type of thing when you travel, you may not mind it, but for myself it would most definitely prevent me from recommending to family or friends.

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.

This apartment is in a central location to restaurants, shopping, and tourist sites. The Vatican IS steps away. It is a 30 minute taxi from FCO and just over a mile to the train station. It is on the top floor but the steps didn’t bother us at all. It appears to be a historic building. She has decorated it with antiques and numerous tourist books. There are 3 bedrooms: a king, a queen, and twin beds. The den couch is comfortable enough to sleep on and there is a sofa bed in the dining room. The bathroom off the queen room is modern. The pink bath is a tub with a handheld shower, a step down to sink and clothes washer. No dryer but many racks. The bath in the hall is tiny. The kitchen is well equipped: fridge, oven, micro, dishwasher, utensils, etc. There are two televisions and good wifi. The apartment is very home-like and comfortably lived-in. We were given two towels and one pillow for each guest. There are many pillows and blankets in the armoires but no pillow cases or washcloths. There were bottles of body wash in each bathroom so bring your own soap, shampoo, and wash cloth. The patio is cute. You must walk through the Q bedroom to access it. Overall, it is a large, homey apartment in a great location that needs just a little updating to be perfect.

Great location near Vatican
Maria was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early as the apartment had been vacated early. The apartment is well situated for the Vatican and shopping with a good market a few minutes walk. Be warned though there are 5 flights of stairs to climb with no lift available, this could be a problem if you have heavy luggage, we had hand luggage fortunately so just managed. The apartment was refurbished in 2013 it says in the details and is ready for another refurbishment as it is very tired. The bathrooms all need attention. No curtain or screen in the main bathroom, the en-suite shower head needs replacing and the shower tray has seen better days. All the towel holders are wonky and various lights do not work. The bed linen is poor and with nothing between the sheet and mattress very unhygienic. The wardrobe space is pretty well non existent with a double one in a bedroom full of old pillows and bedding, leaving little room for hanging without rearranging the whole space ( which we had to do ). The only other wardrobe (single) had the hoover in it! Many of the storage units were full of other personal items which were not of any use to the rental of the apartment and appeared to possibly belong to the owner, we have never come across this before whilst renting holiday accommodation overseas. The outside terrace was a bonus and was partly the reason we decided on this apartment. However, even with these problems mentioned we, the four of us, did Enjoy our stay in Rome for five nights, seeing as many of the wonderful sights as possible in that time. Would we recommend this apartment, only if improvements are made. The high price does not reflect in the condition I’m afraid.
