Our home away from home! Oct 2009
Fabulous, large apartment in the middle of a great neighborhood! The apartment was breath-takingly beautiful! And the attention to detail was so gratiously appreciated. We hosted a family wedding and this apartment served all of our needs. Lots of thoughtful details. Very comfortable. Beautiful layout for ourselves and any guests. We'd like to think that it is our Roma home away from home!!

Just wanted to let you know we had a lovely time in Rome, and the Renata apartment was great...so comfortable and beautiful and well located....Who knew all those fabulous stores were right outside our door? We LOVED the apartment & our stay in Rome. We can't wait to return.

This is a fabulous apartment in an even more fabulous location. Lots of room for family. For adults with small children, the master bedroom is located a bit far from other two bedrooms. The Renata apartment would be better suited for older children. Our two girls loved having their own wing (ages 13 & 10). We did not have a bad meal in any of the local restaurants. The location was very central to all attractions. This was one of our favorite vacations. I have told everyone how pleased we were with Italy Perfect. We only had housekeeping one day, was expecting it during the week days, but it really didn't make any difference to us. Just might want to confirm this if it is important to you.

A beautiful apartment in a superb location
As we approached our apartment, we were surprised at how upscale and beautiful the neighborhood was. While it is in one of the nicest areas of Rome, we never felt out of place with our 3 children. In fact, it felt very safe, and there were many inexpensive restaurants from which to chose close by. The location turned out to be ideal. We found that we could walk everywhere.
The apartment is beautifully furnished, updated and very large. There was more than enough room for our family of 5 to spread out. The kitchen is small, but is well stocked and can be used to cook anything. We never prepared a dinner in the apartment, but it could be done.
The woman we rented from was lovely. She lives one flight up which made it convenient for any questions. She addressed any issues we had with promptness.
We highly recommend visiting Pompeii. However, we went during December and were told it is almost prohibitively hot during the summer months. We took a train from Rome which included a transfer in Naples. If you are planning to do a day trip to Pompeii, I would recommend hiring a driver and settling on a price ahead of time. The train was a hassle and we felt we got ripped off on the way down. We also took tours of the Forum and the Vatican which we highly recommend. Even if you've visited the Pantheon during the day, it's worth a night time visit. There are many, many restaurants in the area, and the Pantheon is particularly impressive at night as are the fountains.
Don't forget to try the gelato. We became addicted. It is very fun to try out the different gelato places.

We're back from Rome and I wanted to let you know we had an absolutely great time. The city seems very different than when I visited during my Junior year in college. We were very pleased with our apartment and absolutely loved the location. I didn't realize the neighborhood would be so beautiful. Thanks for all your help. We rented from your sister in Paris and now from you in Rome. We plan to stick with you!

We stayed in this wonderful apartment in November 2008. In addition to being in the very best neighborhood in Rome, the apartment was lovely. Plenty of room, lovely decor, fully stocked and extremely comfortable. We were warmly greeted and treated like family by the owner who lives upstairs. I am in Rome twice a year and usually stay
in the hotel next door for a few days, however whenever I am planning to be in Rome for a week I would absolutely stay again in this outstanding apartment. I highly recommend this property to everyone.

The accommodations were spectacular. I highly recommend "Renata" to anyone visiting Rome. We were centrally located, able to walk everywhere we wanted to go, yet on a quiet street. The apartment has every convenience a guest might desire including a/c, television, washing machine. My son takes Latin in school and has studied quite a bit of Roman history so the high point of the visit for my family was definitely the ancient ruins. We used the Roma Pass to avoid lines at the Colosseum and the other sites and I definitely recommend it. We had practically no wait at all. We did not take tours but used the Rick Steves guidebook tours to navigate the sites. I highly recommend his Rome book. We also enjoyed the Vatican. Although crowded, we avoided waiting in line by going after lunch around 2:00. The museum of Rome was very good and not crowded. It provides some history of the ancient Roman period.
The owner of the apartment suggested several neighborhood restaurants and we ate at a few of them. All of our meals were good. As for shops, Renata is definitely in the upscale designer district. There is a nice department store nearby that is a bit more reasonable...La Rinascente, I think. We bought groceries at the store at the end of the road as suggested by the apartment owner. She is delightful and very helpful.
