We enjoyed the quiet location beside the park and the excellent restaurants a short walk away. Raniero was an outstanding host who, upon arrival, gave us the lay of the land and remained available for local knowledge throughout our entire stay. Palm House 1 is beautifully and comfortably furnished and decorated. We hope to stay there again! The best VRBO we’ve ever rented.

It is exceptionally well appointed, perfectly located, easily accessible and has everything one could need or want. Staying this close to the exquisite Borghese park was a dream.

PH1 offers the same location conveniences mentioned in my review of PH2 (yes, we stayed in both due to availability during our stay in Rome). Its king size bed, bottle of wine and water were appreciated. It's a little quieter due to its location in the building but hasn't been modernized to the same level as PH2. Raniero is a thoughtful host so you can't go wrong in either apartment.

Raniero’s apartment was our perfect home from home for our 10 day stay in Rome. The location- very close to Villa Borghese is (in my opinion) the most peaceful and beautiful neighbourhood in Rome. The whole area felt very safe. The apartment was so well equipped with everything you could possible need for your stay. The apartment was beautifully presented and the huge Ralph Lauren bed was very comfortable. The outside space was an added bonus for a city stay. Raniero lives upstairs and was very easy to communicate with and very helpful. Thank you for a very memorable stay in the Eternal City.

Wonderful stay

The apartment is great, in a good location away from tourists, and the owner, Hal, provides first rate service. We could have easily stayed much longer. Hal has thought of everything from an arrival orientation to morning espresso from the mini espresso maker. The location next to Villa Borghese can't be beat, is quiet, and can easily get to all of the sights. This was our second trip to Rome, and we would certainly stay here again.
