Vatican Area House is located in the characteristic "Rione Borgo Pio", a small and ancient neighborhood very popular with Romans and tourists. 4 small parallel alleys: Borgo Vittorio, Borgo Pio, Borgo Sant'Angelo and Borgo Angelico that run close to the historic "Passetto", an elevated pedestrian walkway about 800 meters long that connects the Vatican with Castel Sant'Angelo. Purpose of the "Passetto di Borgo", was to allow the Popes to take refuge inside the Castle in case of danger and at the same time have a bastion that would allow better control of the district. Fantastic and suggestive corners, historic buildings, squares with wonderful fountains. There are still some old artisans, among the many local restaurants, pizzerias, bars, pubs that offer a pleasant daytime and nighttime hospitality. There are also supermarkets and grocery stores as well as shopping areas. In 10 minutes of walk from "Borgo", as Romans call it, you can go shopping in one of the 2 most popular shopping areas, "Via Cola di Rienzo", perfect for walking, shopping and stopping along the way for a tea or a beer.
Thanks to his strategic location, it is possible to walk to all the main attractions of the Eternal City. "Ottaviano" Metro Station is just a few minutes away, as are the bus stops and the shuttle stop for the Leonardo Da Vinci airport.

Loved being a quick walk away from the Vatican, Piazza Navona, Campo di Fiori, restaurants, bars, stores, etc. The apartment was nice and comfortable. Daniela was a very friendly and helpful hostess. We had a great time in Rome and the apartment’s location was convenient for our group.
Excellent location.
Apartment was clean and all was well organized.
Very easy to communicate with the owner - she answered right away and was very friendly.
Lovely location for the Vatican and a short walk for the rest of Rome. Very clean spacious apartment.
Really enjoyed the cafes and restaurants close to the apartment. All good food! Supermarket very close by too.
Daniela very welcoming too.
Vatican area house was perfect for our family of four. It was even bigger than we anticipated and in an excellent location for exploring the city. Daniela was super helpful and accommodating. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!
Beautiful place and perfect for our family of six.
Our place was clean and had enough bathrooms for our crew. We would definitely stay here again. Daniella was great to communicate with prior to getting to our place as well as during too
Great location and Daniella was fantastic to work with. We had some flight issues and she was very accommodating for our family. Great Gelato right around the corner 2 blocks at Mango Gelato.
Beautiful apartment in great area with fabulous host
We loved our stay here. The apartment was spacious with all the items needed to feel at home. Daniela was a great communicator and did everything she could to make our stay comfortable and convenient. You will get a truly Italian experience when you stay there. Location was so great, we will hopefully go back one day.
The apartment was lovely and exactly as pictured. Our only minor concern was with bathroom towels. (Very rough and thin) but we would happily stay here again. Great location to to the Vatican and surrounding venues.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at the apartment. It is an older building so as expected there was a lot of street noise (even on the 4th floor) because the windows are all single pane. The biggest concern was that the water temperature in the showers fluctuated from cold to extremely hot. This would be a safety concern if I was traveling with children who might be scalded with the hot water. Otherwise the apartment was fine for our stay. Interior could use some refreshing and updates but we were there to enjoy the city, not stay in the apartment so it was fine.
Lovely property within easy walking distance of the Vatican. Just be aware, the stairs are no joke. I personally appreciated the hike as it seemed to justify my 1-2 gelatos a day while we were in Rome, but others might not. Well-appointed as far as kitchen needs and basics. However, being used to renting in the States, there are a few things to note: there were only shower products in one of the two bathrooms, we ran out of toilet paper during our stay (there were 1 1/2 rolls in each bathroom and we were there for 5 nights), and you are literally given the exact number of pillows, towels and blankets for the number of people staying (i.e. one pillow on a queen-sized bed if there is only one person staying in that room and one bath towel/hand towel per person). Those aren't things that would keep me from staying again, just providing a friendly heads up!
Eine tolle Wohnung in Top-Lage, wenige Meter zum Petersdom und zur Engelsburg.Alles wie beschrieben. Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, beste Eisdiele nur wenige Schritte entfernt, ebenso zwei Supermärkte, PAM und CarrefourExpress, wo man "alles" bekommt.Direkt um die Ecke sehr zu empfehlen: Restaurant "Da Romolo"Wir waren fünf Tage dort und würden es wieder buchen.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette ville extraordinaire qu'est ROME, la situation de l'appartement est idéale pour tout visiter à pied (si l'on est marcheur), l'appartement est très propre, l'accueil de DANIELA très professionnel, toutefois, afin de profiter au mieux de cet appartement, quelques petits détails sont à noter (manque de couvertures supplémentaires, manque de verres supplémentaires ...) bon séjour tout de même ..
This property is beautiful except for the 63 steps you have to take to get there, however it is worth the it. The location is great and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the Vatican and other historic attractions. We would definitely stay here again.
Excellent vacation rental - I would stay again! So convenient to all that Rome has to offer - this is very close to the Vatican, and restaurants are a stone's throw away. A slight hot water issue in one of the bathrooms, but no matter - we were in Italy!
