The penthouse was exactly as shown in the pictures and more! I was impressed at how very clean and beautifully decorated it appeared. The location was definitely a plus, so close to the Vatican. I only wish we could have enjoyed it longer! Sophia was so sweet and kind and met us in person to show us around and answer any questions. I will definitely come back! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Sophie met us to check in and was so helpful. The flat is beautiful and situated so close to the Vatican, it is a perfect location. The flat was very clean and well stocked. Great bathroom facilities and a lovely kitchen/dining area. The beds were very comfortable. There are two lovely terraces with plenty of comfortable tables, seats and cushions. The only criticism - the hot tub could have been cleaner. Wonderful accommodation and great value for money!

Fun place

Everything about this place was great. Two terraces, hot tub, king beds. You could see the Vatican wall from the window. Great place to eat just downstairs and groceries about a block away. Sandar, the host communicated very well with us. We stayed in 4 VRBOs this trip and this was by far the best.

Vadican City door step!

The perfect place if you want to be in the middle of what Rome has to offer. Look no further, the Vadican is just a doorstep away. The rooms were great with private bathrooms which is a plus. The staff were nice and made the welcome home feel right.The restaurants on each side of the home are just too perfect to be true. The house was clean, spacious and quiet.

Fun and comfortable

What a wonderful place to stay. It was cute and lovingly decorated. It was comfortable for 3 adults and 4 young children. All the appliances work. The AC was cool, but a Roman cool. The washing machine was nice. The location was great, 2 minutes walk away from Vatican museum, 10 minutes walk from St Peters entrance, 5 minutes from the Metro subway station. The rooftop garden was a nice touch.

Wonderful Property

This is a beautiful property. We had a great time staying here with friends. All three kids had their own space which was wonderful. We also enjoyed having access to laundry. The only things that were not great were that we found broken glass on the master bedroom floor (hard to see when cleaning so we understand). The kids were not able to play in the hot tub because the water was not clean. Other than that our stay here was perfection!!! Lastly, Sophia who checked us in was beyond amazing. She gave us great recommendations on local restaurants and shopping. She made us feel very welcome. She also helped us book an amazing golf cart tour through Biga Tours that we highly recommend!! Such a fun way to see the sights!!

Beautiful apartment 10 steps from the Vatican

During my recent stay in Rome, I had the pleasure of staying in this extraordinary penthouse right across from the Vatican. The location is simply unbeatable—you can reach the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Square within minutes on foot. The apartment is spacious and beautifully furnished, featuring three master bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, ensuring maximum comfort and privacy. The large, bright living room offers a breathtaking view of the Vatican Castle, making every moment spent here truly special.One of the highlights of this penthouse is the two incredible terraces. One is perfect for relaxing with a coffee or a glass of wine, while the other features a fantastic hot tub with a stunning view—an absolute dream after a long day exploring the city. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and luxurious Roman experience.
