Authentic Roman experience, excellent location, and wonderful hosts

This was our first time as a family to Italy and it did not disappoint. Our host Gian and his wife Cristiana were absolutely amazing to work with leading up to our trip and wonderful hosts while we were there. We truly felt like family as they extended what use to be their home to our family for the week. The location was perfect and the terrace gave us beautiful views enjoy a nice Italian glass of wine and look out over the Trajan Forum. Thank you Gian and Cristina for a wonderful stay and welcoming us into your beautiful home and city.

Great place in Rome

This property was accurately listed. The apartment is on the 4th floor of an historic palace in Rome. There was an elevator which came in handy with getting our luggage to the apartment. There was plenty of space to spread out and have some room. The air conditioning worked well which was nice since Rome was extremely hot. The property is about 15 minutes from all the major attractions we were visiting.

Best VRBO Stay Ever

The property was even better than the pictures on VRBO. Gian, the owner arranged for transportation for our group of six from the train station and to the cruise port. He made every effort to make our stay first class. He had breakfast snacks for us, candies and bottled water. The view of the Roman Forum from our bedroom was incredible. We were right beside the Victor Emmanuel Monument. A great location for sure. When we return to Rome we hope to stay here again. We cannot say enough nice things about this property.

We had a wonderful time at Colonna Traiana. The apartment was perfect for our family and had all the amenities you would ever need.

A great time in Rome

Gian and his family offer a beautiful apartment in a central location. We had easy access to everything, and the location made getting around very simple. The apartment was spacious and allowed us to make breakfast each day before we headed out to see the sights. We couldn't have asked for a nicer home base. We highly recommend this apartment.

Perfezione!

Everything about this place is perfection! Form the location (near charming neighborhood of Monti as well as major sights like the colosseum and forum); to the view (wonderful balcony); to the host family and their support and amazing recommendations; to the gorgeous place itself. The apartment is gorgeous and while “classic Roman” everything is clean and up to date with modern comforts. If you want to stay in a nice place and need three bedrooms (or even two), you can’t beat this beauty!!

Perfect Home Away from Home in the Heart of Ancient Rome!

This is without a doubt the perfect home from which to explore all that Rome has to offer. The location could not be more beautiful, with windows and a balcony overlooking Trajan's Forum, it is an easy walk to the Forum, Palatine Hill, the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain. The home is exquisitely appointed, and every last detail has been thought about to ensure guests have everything they need to settle in. The hosts, Gian and Christina, are gracious and welcoming, as if you were beloved relatives coming for a visit. If you want to immerse yourself in Rome and live like a local, you cannot do better than this wonderful home.

Superb stay; highly recommend

Our family of four stayed at this beautiful villa for three nights in June. What made our stay exceptional was the generosity and kindness of our hosts, Cristina and Gian. Well before our arrival, they helped us book tours, restaurants and transportation. They welcomed us personally when we arrived and gave a thorough introduction to the spacious and immaculate villa and helpful advice regarding our itinerary. Gian kindly made last minute restaurant reservations for us. The kitchen had breakfast items for the next day, cold water in the refrigerator and a couple of bottles of wine. It was very hot in Rome during our visit, and it was truly a joy and relief to return to our centrally located, air-conditioned and well-appointed villa. Thank you, Cristina and Gian, for our superb stay.

Luxury with the “Soul of Rome”

I wish every place we stayed in Europe had the authenticity of this lovely home. It was clean and incredibly comfortable. I loved cuddling up on the soft sofas. If you are American and want your Netflix…bring an hdmi cable and the iPhone connector. Worked perfectly. We sat on the balcony morning and evening and enjoyed the view and the people. The “pirate” below was quite entertaining. The cafe just up the street was our morning coffee/croissant stop. Almost everything is an easy walk! I highly recommend contacting Luca with Mini Rome Tours for an amazing evening in his vintage mini Cooper! Thank you again to Gina and Christina for your wonderful hospitality and opening up your beautiful home for guests. Truly memorable

Amazing Apartment In Rome

I highly recommend this apartment in Rome! Communication with the owner before, during, and even after our stay was excellent. The apartment matched the description perfectly and is situated right in the heart of Rome. We were able to walk everywhere over three days, including the Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and fantastic shopping and dining options. We even walked back from the Vatican! Gian recommended Petites Promenades for private tours of the Colosseum and Vatican, and our guide, Barbara, was fantastic. The apartment itself is beautiful and incredibly comfortable. Watching the sunrise and sunset from the balcony over Trajan's Forum and the monument to Victor Emmanuel II was breathtaking. All the amenities worked perfectly. The air conditioning, washer, and dryer were particularly convenient. We can't say enough good things about this apartment and host. If you're planning a trip to Rome, stay here—you will love it!

Gorgeous apartment in unbeatable location, amazing host and MAGNIFICENT VIEW!!!!

The Location & view:It was our 3rd time visiting Rome, and Gian & Cristina’s apartment made this visit the most exquisite experience of all! (we had stayed at St. Regis previously) The location is surreal - we didn’t realize the apartment is literally in the middle of historical Trajan’s square until we arrived there. It was truly an ideal location because all the major sites were within walking distance but it is not in the midst of hustle and bustle of craziness. Instead, there is wide open square in front of you with the incredible view. I knew that it has gorgeous view from the photos I had seen online, but it was way more magnificent in person! Waking up to such a view really made me soaking up being in Rome. The apartment:It was not only beautiful and comfortable, but was also filled with thoughtfully curated books and pictures of Rome and Italy, some telling stories that I had never known - I lost track of time going through them! Gian and Cristina even made their own book with photographs of Rome during the Corona Virus pandemic! Their love for Rome was so evident in every corner of the home. We also appreciated the thoughtful snacks and drinks they provided.The owners:Gian and Cristina were so pleasant and super responsive before and during the stay helping us with arranging tours, cooking class, and car services. We felt so well supported by them! This apartment is truly a gem - we highly recommend!!!

Fantastic location and hosts

We spent 4 days in Roma early Summer 2023. Gian and Christina had excellent communication even before showing up and they couldn’t have been more helpful during the stay as well. The apartment was clean and spacious, plenty of room for our family of four. Very comfortable beds. The location is perfect, central to many of the things tourists would want to see, easily walkable to many great restaurants, gelaterias, the Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, etc. Cab fare to the Sistine Chapel was about 10-12 Euro for our family and easy to find a ride in front of Piazza Venezia (right outside the apartment). We had a great trip and would easily stay here again.

Is this the perfect Rome apartment

We were able to snag this apartment for a four day stay with our two college age girls for their first trip exploring Rome and we couldn't be more pleased. The location of the apartment is ridiculous- the photos do not lie- it is in the middle of everything. Steps outside put you in the heart of the city. Yet, somehow, it was quiet and peaceful inside. The apartment is immaculate and our host, Gian had thoughtfully made it feel like a luxe hotel- Frette robes, treats in the kitchen, a bottle of wine, etc. And he couldn't have been nicer, helping with transportation and great advice for nearby restaurants and bakeries. We will definitely book again when we return to Rome in the future and are recommending this apartment to all of our friends who will be travelling there. Grazie Mille!
