A lovely stay

A really great stay at the apartment, the location was great for being close by to get to bus and Rome centre. Host was very great and gave brilliant instructions and preparation for the trip, welcome pack had loads of great ideas around the area. Lovely suburban area, quiet and lovely to be among Italian people living their everyday lives.

Lovely Garden Apartment

The Gianicolo Garden apartment was a perfect place for our month in Rome-- and Patrizia was the perfect host! She warmly welcomed us on arrival, provided us with plenty of information about the area, and basically made us feel immediately at home. Communicating via text was perfect for scheduling linen changes, arranging for an extra guest-- and updating us when the new pope was picked!The apartment is beautifully decorated and in walking distance to Trastevere and Quattro Venti stations, with a few bus stops nearby. We actually walked to/from everywhere (including Prati, Vatican City, Centro Storico, and the Colosseum) because sometimes it was just as quick as taking the bus! The private garden is gorgeous. The neighborhood gelateria-- La Gourmandise-- is THE BEST. Period. Thank you so much for everything, Patrizia! We had a fantastic month in our temporary Monteverde Vecchio home!

Patrizio was very prompt in communicating before our arrival and during our stay. The property had lots of lovely character and a little garden to sit in. She was there to welcome us on our arrival with a welcome gift. The kitchen was stocked for our first and subsequent light breakfasts. There was a welcome book with lots of information to make navigating the area so much easier. I would highly recomment this lovely apartment in a quiet neighbourhood close to restaurants, shops and transportation.

Great Stay in Rome

The stay was excellent. The apartment was just as advertised. We spent most of our time out and about but we did enjoy a nightcap in the garden. The bed was comfy and our communication with Patrizia was very prompt.

Comfortable apartment, friendly and helpful hosts

The apartment was lovely, with a well-appointed kitchen and comfortable bedroom. We had access to the back garden, which provided a relaxing retreat. Shopping, restaurants and cafes are within walking distance. Major attractions are reasonably close.

Trastevere stay

The bedding and towels had such a strong perfume smell it was hard to sleep. Not sure if it’s the laundry detergent or if they were sprayed with something. The smell filled the apartment and was very strong.

Perfect Stay

This little apartment was ideal. It was on the outskirts of town, but within walking distance of everything. Much quieter than downtown Rome, which was a relief at the end of the day. The garden was lush and enjoyable. Patrizia communicated constantly and gave great pointers and advice. The place had everything we could need. Water was hot, pressure was good, bed was firm, A/C worked well. No complaints and really enjoyed staying there.

Perfetto !

Superbe séjour !! Patrizia est très attentionnée. Je suis restée 1 mois, c'était parfait. Le logement est très agréable, fonctionnel. Le jardin est un gros plus. Le quartier est calme tout en étant proche du centre de Rome. Beaucoup de restaurants de qualité à proximité du logement. Possibilité d'aller facilement à trastavere à pieds, beaucoup de bus / tramway pour se déplacer aisément. Je recommande ce logement ! Pauline

GIANICOLO GARDEN

What an absolutely wonderful place, my wife and I used this location in Rome as a base for our two-week stay in country. Patrizia was a wonderful host and went above and beyond what we expected. She assisted in our getting our airport ride rescheduled due to flight delays and provided us with not only a list of places to eat due to our late arrival, but she also provided us with a welcome gift in case we didn't feel like going out to dinner that night. We truly enjoyed our time there and have already recommended it as a place for friends of ours. 5 - star indeed.

Great place to stay

While the place is about 40 minutes walking from most Rome tourist attractions, we got lots of steps and stair climbing making our way there. Good to walk off pizza and pasta. Found awesome places for breakfast and dinner near by. Bus transportation is great. Patrizie is very responsive. Place is clean and bed is comfortable.

5-stars Accomodation

Everything was just perfect. The appartment was very clean and absolutely spotless. After sightseeing tours in the loud and busy centre of Rome it always was a relieve coming back to this quiet and cosy appartment with this beautiful garden. Patricia was a very friendly and attentive host! 5-stars plus from us for this accomodation! Barbara & Michael

A splendid, cosy blooming and cleaned house!

We had an extraordinary and excellent time at Patrizia’s cosy house. She was very helpful when we had questions regarding our staying. She helped us to book restaurants and check for shopping. I also liked a lot when she respond quickly and always in a professional kind way just as italians are. We stayed super comfortable in the room. I slept in the bed like heaven. I was more then happy of how cleaned it was. The garden outside is lovely - it felt like coming home. The area around and the architectures are one of a kind. We will come back again to Gianicolo Garden and Patrizia with famiglia.

FABULOUS!!

Patrizia was a great host! Great communication in advance, a welcome package with info on the neighbourhood and useful tips on transit, etc. Helped make arrangements for us for our return trip to the airport. The neighbourhood is terrific. Walking distance and Trastavere and relatively easy transit to most places in central Rome. Easy walk to the subway. Comfy bedroom and very secure. Love the garden! If we are ever to come back to Rome we will stay again! Thank you very much! Blair & Monique

Gianicolo Garden Delight!

The apartment is a charming one bedroom flat a short flight up from the street. There is a gated entrance to a tiled courtyard with access to a garden patio in the rear. The flat is equipped with DeLonghi espresso machine and washing machine. Part of the charm of the flat is its unusual bathroom. My wife and I laughed as we showered the long hot Roman days away in the tri-level bagno. We loved the neighborhood. It is a true Roman residential neighborhood above Trastevere and adjacent to Monteverde! Highly recommended!

Great host

The host, Patrizia was very welcoming, and treated us like neighbors. The property is located in the Monteverde neighborhood, adjacent to Trastevere, outside the hubub of downtown Rome, which avoids the tourist trap feeling. Its also QUIET. You'll feel like a local, in no time. There's also a beautiful park close by. Best of all, the bus stop is just a one minute walk, giving you complete access to the whole city. We used Google maps to navigate the bus routes and city. Don't show up in Rome, without an international cell plan, you will regret it. Study the ATAC bus website on how to use the tap and go credit card system. One different card, for each person. We didnt use the paper tickets. Once you get the bus down, I'm sure you'll enjoy the location, as much as we did. In addition, pizzarias, restaurants, and grocery stores, in walking distance.

Charming Rental in Rome

We stayed in this beautiful rental for about 5 days. It is nestled in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. When we arrived, it was warm and everything in the garden and around the house was blooming. The apartment itself was charming, clean and full of amenities. We cooked ourself a dinner one night and enjoyed it in the beautiful back garden area. Though it’s a bit of a walk from central Rome, it is very close to Trastevere center. We preferred exploring this area because it was less crowded and very charming. However, public transit can easily be accessed from here. The host, Patrizia, went above and beyond to make us feel at home. She left a small welcome gift, helped us in paying the taxi when we arrived after the card machine stopped working, and provided us with lots of restaurant recommendations. She was very communicative, kind and welcoming. We are so grateful to have stayed in this beautiful rental. Thank you so much, Patrizia!

Hot temper, but no hot water

I am a travel writer who has been to Rome a dozen times, but had never stayed in the Gianicolo area, and looked forward to exploring it. Patrizia was very cordial and accommodating when planning the visit of my husband and myself over the holidays. When we arrived she was out of town, and left keys in a lockbox. The bedroom looks like the photos, however, it's the bathroom that's the problem worthy of note. To enter you must walk through the shower, which has three different levels of concrete covered with glazed ceramic tile. So you are walking in your street shoes through the wet shower each time you need the toilet. Very slippery. The most dangerous part, however, is that *inside the shower* is a basin with an electrical outlet. I kept imagining someone standing there in the water, plugging in her hair dryer, then frying like a piece of bacon. Our personal problems with Patrizia happened when we finally met her on day 9 of our stay, even though she lives next door. I texted that we only had hot water about 50% of the time and she said she'd come over the next morning to check. As had been the pattern, on Dec. 27 my husband had a lukewarm shower at 9 AM, then shaved in cold water. There was no hot water whatsoever for me to take a shower. (In fact on Christmas Day I had to go out without one to keep our lunch reservation.) When Patrizia and her husband arrived at 1 PM we shook hands; in fact all of our communication up to this point has been perfectly cordial. They went into the bathroom and ran the water for about five minutes, letting gallons of fresh water run down the drain. I could hear she was already shouting something in Italian and her husband was motioning with his hands for her to be calm. She called me into the bathroom and asked me to feel the water. "Is it hot?" I said, it is now, but it's been four hours so I assume the boiler has reheated. She shouted at me, "You do not tell the truth! You say there is no hot water! Here is the hot water! In the instructions I say, you must let the water run to get hot water. Do you know how to read?" I assured her I did. Now everyone moves into the kitchen and my husband says there's no hot water for the dishes. "Forget it," she screams, "there is no hot water in the kitchen! You want to wash dishes you use the kettle!" Here she demonstrates pouring water from the electric kettle into the sink. The situation was so combative and insulting that I had to ask her twice to leave.
