Perfect Spot Off The Beaten Path

My family of four loved our stay here as it was located in a quiet neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of Rome. We walked to almost everything and loved exploring the area. The amenities provided in the apartment made us feel like we were home.

Lovely apartment

This apt was beautiful. Large rooms, decorated in great taste. It was well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. Secure building in an area with markets and cafes. The train station and bus stops are only a few blocks away. The host is very responsive and accommodating. Will definitely recommend to friends.

This was top notch

Paola, the hostess, was excellent. Check in and communication throughout stay was great. Her home was very large and extremely well appointed. All appliances were in good working order and the kitchen had everything one could want. Paola continued to update us throughout our stay informing us of city sights and events. I would strongly recommend staying here!

Apartment in Monteverde, Rome

My husband and I spent a week in this lovely and spacious apartment. The building is secure and well situated near the Quattro Venti train station and several bus lines. Getting around the city was very easy and the host left excellent directions for navigating the public transit. Within easy walking distance is a fruit and vegetable stand, a grocery, pharmacy, cafe and pizzeria and several restaurants. We ate well. The apartment itself has huge windows and two balconies and is filled with light. The rooms are large with high ceilings and the space is very comfortably furnished. Everything is there you might need for your stay, coffee make, toaster, washer, dishwasher, even a freezer! (Nice for some Gelato from Otaleg.) Check in and out was a snap with Easy Host. The owner was in regular contact before, during and after our stay. Thank you, Paola, for making our visit to your lovely home so stress free. I recommend this VRBO to couples, families or friends who want an elegant stay in a quiet part of the Eternal City. Most pleasant!

The Perfect Place to Stay

My friend and I are still congratulating ourselves for having chosen Il Soffio as our home for our visit to Rome. The apartment is beautiful, very spacious, clean, and the perfect base for easily getting to all the must-see sites in Rome. The apartment is large enough for 4 people to stay without crowding each other or sacrificing privacy. It was wonderful to come back to this quiet haven after a day of being surrounded by hordes of tourists. The neighborhood is full of excellent places to eat and convenient to taxis and buses, making it easy to get around. You could not ask for a better hostess than Paola. She met us at the outside gate and explained in detail how to use all the appliances and also told us the best spots in the area for meals and grocery shopping. We enjoyed several light meals of pizza from Alice's, sitting on the lovely balcony surrounded by trees. How wonderful to discover the best gelato in Rome and fabulous pastries just up the hill at Dolci Desidere. Lunches at Il Mulino de Quattro Vento were superb as well. We travel a great deal and agree that this may be the best rental apartment we have had. Paola does everything possible to make certain that her guests have a great stay. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a peaceful, comfortable stay in a true Roman neighborhood.

All you could ask for

Paola from prior to arrival through to the end kept in contact as to be sure all was well. Attention to details our stay was amazing. Meeting the building manager who was super friendly and watched my bags as I got something to eat while I waited for property manager. I met the property manager who showed me through the large apartment giving me tips and instructions. Paolas place is as advertised, fantastic instruction for every need. Hospital, groceries, train station and information as how to get to certain places. Super clean, Comfortable beds, great selections of pots,pans, dishes and spices to make meals at the apartment. Nice neighborhood with a bar/restaurant a block away. Playground down the street and plenty of nice dog people. Most enjoyable experience.

Wonderful relaxing stay!

We found everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time in this charming neighborhood. Quite different from a busy downtown environment! Our host Paola was so kind and helpful, very intent on us getting the most out of our visit to Roma. We had to take the metro to get to any of the famous sights, but returning to this lovely, spacious apartment was like being at a spa ~ the little balcony especially delightful.

Delicious wide variety of fruits and vegetables with plenty of convenience in restaurants and necessity shops etc. We totally enjoyed our visit here. Our host was easy to contact if needed. We highly recommend that if you are planning a trip to Rome….to include a stay here.

Paola gave us all the information we needed for our vacation in Italy, including transportation services. She was present to give us a tour of the apartment. The place was so clean and organized. She answered promptly to my messages. Overall, it was a great and worry-free experience largely due to her great hospitality and customer service.

Beautiful flat, lovely area, very pleasant owner

This is a beautiful, clean and very well maintained flat in a lovely area. The flat is very spacious and bright and it has obviously been done up recently to a very high standard. The air conditioning was very effective, and although we tend not to use it a lot normally we had to at various points during our stay as it was very hot in Rome. The owner, Paula, is very pleasant and helpful and her advice was much appreciated. There are supermarkets, a fruit shop and any other shops in very close walking distance to the flat. The flat is slightly out of the historic centre but is very well served with buses and a train station all in close proximity to the flat. Trastevere is only about a 15 minute walk and St Peters a lovely half hour walk along the Gianicolo with lovely views over Rome (and a pleasant breeze). We stayed for 2 weeks and felt immediately at home. We bought monthly travel cards for 35 euros that allowed us to use all public transport within Rome which we found very useful. (The monthly ticket covers a calendar month so if buying on 23 June for example you would only get 1 week of use out of it). The flat has a lovely big kitchen that is fully equipped and 2 terraces that you can sit outside on. There is a lift as the flat is on the 4th floor. I would recommend this flat to anyone really - it is of a very high standard.

Ideal für eine Rom-Reise mit Auto

Die wunderschöne und großzügige Wohnung in einem ruhigen Stadtteil von Rom war für uns als Familie mit 5 Personen perfekt. Da wir mit dem Auto angereist sind, wollten wir keine Wohnung direkt in der Innenstadt. Allerdings sollte sie so verkehrsgünstig liegen, dass man das Auto zum Zentrum nicht benötigt. Diese Wohnung liegt in der Nähe von 3 Buslinien zu zentralen Punkten der Sehenswürdigkeiten. Eine davon geht direkt zum Vatikan. Unser Auto stellten wir eine Straße weiter für 10,-EUR/Tag in einer privaten Parkgarage unter. Die Besitzerin organisierte uns Alles. Die Wohnung selbst ist wunderschön eingerichtet und sehr sauber. 2 schmale Balkone laden zum Apperitiv am Abend ein. Auf der Straßenseite gegenüber gib es Pizza zum Mitnehmen (auch mit Nutella zur Freude unseres Sohnes). Wenige hundert Meter die Straße herauf ist ein Fischgeschäft/-restaurant sowie ein Ital. Feinkostladen. Ein kleiner Supermarkt wenige hundert Meter weiter. Wer keine Lust auf Frühstück machen hat, geht einfach in eine Bar ums Straßeneck. Dort gibt es sogar ein Amerikanisches Frühstücksrestaurant. Alles in Allem eine super Wohnung und bei unserem nächsten Rom-Besuch sicherlich die erste Wahl.

Amazing place

My family and I stayed here for 9 days and absolutely loved the place. Our older daughter is studying abroad and we came to visit her. It was close to her apartment and close to public transportation to get wherever you want to go. Paola was absolutely amazing. She met us when we got there and took the time to show us through the apartment. She checked in on us and whenever I had a question, she got back to me right away. It was such a pleasure to rent from her. Thank you for making our stay such a memorable one.

Perfect Stay

I stayed in Paola's apartment for six weeks for a work trip. I am so glad that I chose her apartment; it was wonderful. Perfectly clean, spacious, equipped with all necessities, and everything in good working order. Paola is an exceptional host. Not only did she provide me with a wealth of information about Rome (and especially about the neighborhood of Monteverde), but she even delivered my suitcase after it was temporarily lost by the airline. The neighborhood was wonderful as well, away from the crowds of tourists but just a 20 minute walk to Trastevere. I enjoyed walking into Rome but there is a good train five minutes' walk from the apartment that connects one to both metro lines and Fiumicino airport (there are buses as well but I didn't use them). There are two good grocery stores a block from the flat, and an excellent outdoor market around the corner. I can't say enough nice things about this apartment and I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Amazing apartment in great neighborhood

My family and I just left Paola's beautiful apartment. We couldn't have been more comfortable. I have been in Rome over a dozen times and stayed all over the city, in many different hotels and one other apartment. We've never been in such a lovely place! The neighborhood was new to us but it didn't take long for us to figure out everything great about it. The property itself was extremely well cared for and lovely. More importantly, it wasn't just the "whitewashed" generic apartments one frequently rents. It was comfortable, very clean, well decorated and homey. The bathrooms had everything we could have wanted. We actually could have come without toiletries because Paola provided everything! We didn't need to use any of those things but it was just another layer of her astonishing hospitality. The kitchen was beyond what I would expect from a vacation rental. Not only was it beautiful and very well appointed, she carried all the little things one hates to buy for a week long stay (salt, pepper, sugar, etc) as well as thoughtful things like olive oil and other spices. The bedrooms were comfortable. The views on the balconies and from the bedrooms were lovely. Outside the apartment, there was a store to the right of us and a fruit/vegetable store to the left of us. Up the stairs, there were restaurants and taxi stands, ATM machines. Now I get to the part where I talk about Paola. I have rented VRBO/Homeaway properties for years. I have never had an owner host us so warmly before. Ever. She drove 45 minutes from her seaside home to welcome us. She made reservations for transportation for us on 3 separate occasions. She answered all my texts and helped us negotiate dinners and trains. She was the ultimate hostess who made this trip to Rome effortless for me and my family. I recommend this property very very highly for people who are fine with being out of the center of Rome. But more importantly, I recommend Paola, who has other properties in Italy as well. I won't go to Rome again without contacting her first.

The apartment is stunning and very spacious - even better than the photos! It was immaculately clean and well equipped and there is good transport link (buses and local train station) to Trastevere and the centre of Rome.

Ideal für eine entspannten Urlaub in Rom

Wunderschöne, große und komfortable Ferienwohnung, die zu einer entspannten und unvergesslichen Romreise beiträgt. Die Wohnung hat einen kleinen Balkon mit Blick ins Grüne und auf ein schönes altes Haus (wunderbare Atmosphäre für ein Frühstück oder Abendessen für zwei Personen, großer gemütlicher Esstisch für mehr Personen ist in der Küche oder im Wohnzimmer) und ist sehr hell. Sie bietet viele Annehmlichkeiten wie beispielsweise schöne Bäder, eine gut ausgestattete Küche, angenehme Beleuchtung, Klimaanlage (die bei 40 Grad dann doch nicht unwichtig ist), Wifi, moderne Musikanlage etc. und liegt in einem untouristischen, sehr schönen noch zentrumsnahen Wohngebiet (Monteverde). Alle wichtigen Geschäfte (Bäcker, Obstladen, Metzger, Feinkostladen, kleiner Supermarkt) sind unmittelbar zu erreichen. Auch Restaurants (tolle Tipps der Besitzerin) und eine kleine, sehr nette Cafebar liegen quasi vor der Haustüre. Paola, die Besitzerin, ist ausgesprochen hilfsbereit, freundlich und äußerst zuverlässig. Dass es ihr ganz wichtig, dass sich die Gäste wohlfühlen, wird an vielen verschiedenen Stellen deutlich. Schon im Vorfeld bekamen wir z.B. von ihr gute und detaillierte Hinweise zu unserer Anreise, auf Wunsch organisiert sie auch ein Taxi vom Flughafen zum Appartement, in der Wohnung selbst hat sie ein Gästebuch mit vielen wichtigen Tipps zusammengestellt, die einem sehr helfen, sich schnell zurechtzufinden. Wir können diese Wohnung uneingeschränkt empfehlen, es hat an nichts gefehlt und wir haben durch die angenehme und ruhige Atmospähre eine herrliche Zeit verbracht.

I had the peasure of staying at "Il Soffio" for 9 weeks in May to July 2015. The apartment is beautiful, very spacious and immaculately clean. It has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is fully equipped for any meal preparation. The apartment was a cool retreat during a historic and prolonged heat wave in Rome, even without turning on the air conditioning the apartment was comfortable. Monteverde Vecchio is the area I wanted to stay, away from the crowded touristy center, but close enough to be there in a few minutes, either by bus, walking or train. The area has all the shops and markets you might need, within a couple of streets, even an internet point. Signora Paletti has thoughtfully compiled a book with information and maps help make your stay easier, even if this is your first trip to Rome. Signora Paletti is a very kind, sweet and helpful person in addition to being a wonderful landlord. I have been to Rome many times and have stayed in other apartments, in various areas, this was my favorite. I really enjoyed my stay at "il soffio".

Very nice stay in Rome :-)

In October and November 2014 I took a class at the Norwegian institute in Rome. During that stay I had the pleasure of staying in «Il Sofio» for almost eight weeks. The location for a long time stay in Rome is perfect. A nice and safe neighborhood with everything you need in your daily life, including a few nice restaurants and coffeebars. The apartment is spacious, clean and well equipped, and the building fine and quiet, with a very helpful doorman. Paola, the owner, is very professional and serviceminded and made sure that everything ran smoothly from booking until check out. Ragnar, 47 from Norway

A wonderful stay!

I studied in Rome for 4 months and chose this apartment for my stay with my boyfriend. I have to say it felt like home from the first day on. We were friendly welcomed by Paola, the landlord, who explained everything to us and answered our questions. The apartment really impressed me. In real life it looks even better that on the pictures! It is very spacious, fully furnished and decorated nicely and detailed. Everything was perfectly clean. It looked like we were the first ones to ever live there. The view from the bedrooms, which include a balcony, is gourgeos! You wake up everyday to the view of an old, beautyful building surrounded by trees, which is typically roman. Everything you could possibly need is available in the apartment, like hair dryer or first aid kit. The neighbors are all friendly too and we did not have any problems concerning that. When staying in this apartment a car is not neccesarry. everything can be reached by foot. A supermarket, a vegetable store, as well as restorants and tabbachi shops are no further than a 3 minute walk. I really have nothing to complain about this apartment. The Landlord was so kind and helpful we felt welcomed from the first second on. I would reccomend this apartment to everyone, especially AUR students since the American university is just around the corner. It was a great stay!!
