About this property

Cozy Charming Quiet Studio a few meters from Villa Borghese - a/C, Wifi, TV SaT

Nestled in the residential Parioli-Salario district, (Gaetano's) Nino's house is located in the heart of Rome, just a few steps away from the tranquility of Villa Borghese, one of the largest landscaped gardens in Rome, and from Via Veneto, probably the most famous, elegant and trendy street in Rome.

On the first floor of a beautiful historic building at via Basento 55, a quiet and elegant street, the apartment overlooks the blooming inner courtyard, and thanks to the double-glazed windows, it is a perfect choice for those seeking a relaxing holiday in The Eternal City, without giving up a central location.

Recently renovated, Nino’s House is divided into 2 levels: on the lower level, a large and bright living area furnished with a comfortable sofa bed (perfect for 1 adult or for 2 children), a dining table for 4 people, and a TV.

A beautiful staircase leads to the large mezzanine level which has a double bed and a spacious wardrobe. A personal computer is available for our guests. Both the living and the sleeping area are enlightened by 2 large windows.

A modern kitchen, fully equipped with oven, microwave, washing machine, etc. and bathroom with shower complete this spotless apartment in Rome.

Nino’s House is tastefully furnished with both tiled and parquetry floor, and it is absolutely perfect for a couple looking for a romantic week-end in Rome or for a small family: it can sleep up to 3/4 people.

Fully equipped with heating and air conditioning, WiFi Internet connection, personal computer, direct dial telephone (calls throughout Italy included in price), hair dryer, iron and ironing board and full size fridge.


The area around the apartment is full of many typical Italian restaurants, a department store, as well as numerous shops.

Great place to stay in Rome!

Well-eqipped apartment with friendly and helpful host. Plenty of space for three adults. Neighborhood is great with lots of shops and good restaurants. Be prepared to walk to sights and take the bus, which is pretty easy to figure out. Nino is helpful and kind—be sure to take his advice and area recommendations. Note that he prefers to communicate via WhatsApp.

Fabulous stay in Rome

The apartment was much brighter and more comfortable than I expected. Two large windows and plenty of light, quieter area of town. You could walk everywhere, and Nino was very helpful with ready advice on everything. Grazie mille Nino! I hope to come back someday!

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful apartment and the best part was Nino! The place has everythng you need, full kitchen, comfortable bed and pillows, everything works well and it is decorated beautifully. Nino was there to help with taxis, where to go to get the most out of Rome, and to make everything easy for us. We will be back!!! We loved it!!!

Thank you for the lovely stay

Nino is a great host who looks after you and provides you with good tips. He also organises a taxi to and from the airport. The location of the flat is great, in a nice neighbourhood. It takes half an hour by bus to get to most of the sights. The flat is very nice in its old-fashioned way, everything you need is there. The upper mezzanine floor is only 1.75 metres high, so if you're taller you have to duck down, but that's not really a problem.

Beautiful Escape in a Busy City

If you are coming to Rome, this should be your first choice. Everything about the stay was great. Location is just outside the busiest parts of the city which helps it remain peaceful. Everything you want is a nice walk or a short bus ride away. The host Gaetano, is what makes the stay magical. Try all the food he recommends, especially the gelato! Plus he helped to arrange transport and made our stay especially pleasant. In a busy city, this cozy rental is an oasis of relaxation. Highly encourage you to consider it.

A Great Roman Holiday Stay

My wife and I were really pleased and satisfied with our stay at Nino's! The location felt safe and clean. It was a 5 minute walk away from the Borghese Museum and easy access to public transportation to reach further sites, such as Vatican City. There are nice restaurants and grocery stores nearby to satisfy all the desires of a Foodie. The apartment has everything you need and the bed was comfortable. Our 3 night stay was amazing, but not long enough. Nino was a wonderful host and we instantly felt like we had a friend in Italy. We will definitely return and look forward to reserving Nino's place for our next Roman Holiday!

Beautiful apartment in a very safe area, wonderful host!

My husband and I rented Nino's apartment for a week. I can't say enough about it . Nino is very personable and speaks many languages. He showed us around the area, where to get the tram, bus, etc. The apartment is within a block of all transportation to see the major sites.

We enjoyed our stay in Rome!

We enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. Our host was very gracious and kind. It was a very secure apartment in a lovely part of Rome. It was about a 1/2 hour walk to the Spanish Steps and about a ten minute walk to the Borghese Gallery. Once we learned the bus schedules getting around was easy. In the immediate neighbourhood there are excellent restaurants and gelato, markets, etc. Nino was very informative and gave us lots of very good recommendations. The apartment was equipped well with everything you need.

Very clean and great neighborhood!

Nino is a wonderful host, and yes, he does live right next door (the apartments share a main front door). He was very helpful for first-timers in Rome- showing us around the neighborhood, where the grocery store, bus, tram stops, etc, were. The apartment is very clean, spacious, and the neighborhood always felt safe, even walking around in the evening. It was a great value and a good location, even for first-timers! (Note for those with physical limitations: There is a very small weight limited elevator, but first you must walk up a small set of stairs to get to it.)

The owner was wonderful and the apartment was excellent!

Nino and his house were fantastic! We were tired by the time we reached Rome, but he got us going again. His house was an oasis in a sea of humanity. He helped us get tickets to the Borghese Gallery which may have been our favorite place on our nearly month long trip to France and Italy. It's only a couple of blocks away and a wonderful escape in a very large city. He even took us on a tour of the neighborhood and told us about his favorite restaurants (which were outstanding). If we ever go back to Rome it would be a privilege to stay there again!

Nino’s House - Authentic Taste of Rome

Since we had never visited Rome, we wanted to experience the life as a native. From the beginning stages of planning our week stay, Nino acted as our unofficial guide. The apartment looked exactly like the picture depicted. It is located in a safe area, close to the tram and bus. Nino mapped out our destinations and transportation routes, and we had no problem navigating around Rome. Staying at Nino’s House was our best decision ever; we got an authentic taste of the “Eternal City” and experienced the culture and warmth of the people.

Quiet and cozy apartment with a great host

Our family of three really enjoyed our stay in Nino’s apartment. He made us feel very welcome and offered lots of information and tips to help us enjoy Rome to the fullest. The apartment is quiet and cozy and was a welcome spot to return after a long day of exploring. The only difficulty we had with the location were the long and sometimes unreliable buses that we used to explore Rome. Other than that, we had a terrific time and have already recommended this apartment to others. Thank you Nino for sharing your apartment with us!

Quiet haven in a bustling city

We were fortunate enough to happen on Nino's house through VRBO. Our last experience in Rome had been less than wonderful and so were a bit hesitant but Nino's hospitality and this wonderful retreat changed all that. The flat is spotless, every thing is in place . Nino is a delightful host, kind, helpful, fun and informative. The location for us was perfect! We love to feel a part of a neighborhood and with the bustling cafes, lovely restaurants, and a local morning market you somehow felt more connected to the city. Public transportation is easy and close. We were comfortable in this quiet haven. The pictures were accurate, the property very clean and nicely maintained. We will recommend this to anyone traveling to Rome and we hope to return soon.

Nice place to stay in a great location

I traveled to Rome with my husband and young daughter (18 months). Nino was very hospitable and even provided a tour of the neighborhood when we arrived. The apartment is very clean and looks exactly as the pictures show- so good, functional space with all the amenities. I wouldn't recommend this to families with young children because of the stairs and the fact that the bedroom is just an open loft, but the area is a great place. 10 minute walk to the Borghese Gardens and buses one block away to go into town. Grocery store and restaurants all within 5 minutes as well. Nice shops are all around where the apartment is located. I highly recommend checking out the Villa Borghese and the views of Rome from the Borghese park. Fun trip. Thanks, Nino!

Excellent place to see Rome and enjoy the local scene

Location is conveniently close to major tourist sites via bus/metro and even walking. Villa Borghese nearby is another plus. Neighborhood is charming and includes some amazing architecture. Apartment accommodations were as described and especially great for longer stays or for those who want to do some of their own cooking and laundry. Clean and in good condition with only potential drawback being the low ceiling in the bedroom loft (if you’re fairly tall, but not really an issue if you’re laying down, right?) The Landlord, “Nino”, is extremely kind and engaging. He speaks English well, gave us a tour of the neighborhood, provided his best recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants, and even played some ping pong with us! (at a local games venue). Great price, and we would have gladly paid more. We will definitely try to book again next time in Rome. Thanks Nino!

Great apartment near transit

From the beginning the communication was fantastic as well as check in. Nino spent a lot of time introducing us to the area including walking us to the bus stops and explaining how the transit system worked. He booked our reservation for dinner the 1st night as well. Each day he check in asking how our day was and if we needed any suggested or had any questions. The apartment was very clean and organized. The building has an elevator which was fantastic for our luggage going up to the 2nd floor. The only downside is that the loft area where the bed is has a low ceiling so if you are on the taller side you just need to not jump out of bed. Besides that, which did not really effect our stay, I would rent here again.

Lovely apartment, beautiful neighborhood, charming host

Nino's apartment is wonderful. Very homey and comfortable. The neighborhood the apartment is located in is a very pretty residential area, beautiful buildings and very leafy. It was very nice to return home away from tourists and Rome traffic.There is no direct access to the metro, but the bus is one block away and very convenient. A very quick walk to the beautiful Borghese garden. Other major sights can be walked to as well or a quick bus/metro ride. Best of all perhaps is Nino. He lives right next door and was very available for any questions or needs that we had. He is the perfect host - he respects privacy and at the same time is very attentive. It was a delight to get to know him and I am sure that we will return. Thank you Nino for a wonderful stay!! Karen and Roger

A great place

We had a delightful week in this apartment. It was very clean, comfortable, well set up, secure and quiet. Nino is a most interesting, welcoming and helpful host. He guided us around the charming area and even showed us his favourite supermarket. Because we are foodies we appreciated the nearby daily market and the great kitchen which even had reasonable cooking knives. Having visited Rome several times we were after 'off the tourist beaten track' experiences and the apartment was very well located for that with quite a few very interesting sites nearby. Plus there are some very good restaurants close by but unfortunately we did not have time to get to many of them. Nino also organized our trip out to the airport. The car was punctual and the driver very good. Just wish we had more time to stay longer. Buses and trams were also very convenient. Hopefully we will be back at some time and would most certainly recommend a stay there.

Just what we wanted

The villa was perfect for our needs! Nino was a great host. Before we arrived, he sent links for setting up some of our museum and historic site tours. He greeted us with maps and anything you wanted to know about the area. Better than that, he took the time to take a walk with us to show us the bus stop, the tram stop, the local grocery store, a lovely piazza, and the Bhorgese Gardens. This being our first time in Rome, we needed this wonderful introduction. When my luggage did not arrive, Nino gave us his contact information so he could meet the courier when it did arrive. This cozy apartment was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located to museums, sites, and restaurants but nicely situated in a neighborhood away from the major crowds and traffic. We walked to everything! Totally enjoyed our Roman holiday! Thanks Nino!

Excellent experience

For no good reason that I can think of, I have missed posting my review on this wonderful property. We stayed at Nino's for 10 days in October and had a genuinely exceptional experience. My husband described the location at 'upper East Side,' with its shops, restaurants, services, parks and transportation. Nino's building has a huge entry that is pristine and well lit and the apartment itself is charming, clean and convenient. As he must do with all his guests, Nino gave us a leisurely introduction to the neighborhood and made certain that we knew how to find everything we needed. And when the laundry facilities in the apartment failed, he ensured that the laundry was done! While it might have been a tiny bit more convenient to be located closer to Rome's tourist attractions, we were thrilled to be able to experience life in this beautiful neighborhood and to learn a few Italian words from Nino. We were intrigued, in between our sojourns around Rome, to share moments with Nino and hear about the life of one family with deep roots in this wonderful city.

Cozy, comfortable, charming apartment with helpful landlord.

The apartment is well-appointed with a very well-equipped kitchen (including oven) and a clothes washing machine. It is immaculately clean. Nino, the owner is more like a host than a landlord. He gave us an orientation tour of the neighborhood (where he has lived all his life and seems to know everybody) and noted his own personal list of “must-sees” on a map. He indicated the best restaurants in the neighborhood and even made reservations for us at two of the finer ones. Nearby are a mini-mart, deli, patisserie, a range of little cafes and restaurants, very nice women's and men's clothing stores, a fresh pasta shop. Bus and tram stops are also close. The apartment is just a couple of blocks from the delightful Quaertiere Coppedè and perhaps half a mile from the Borghese Gardens and the wonderful Museum and Gallery. Nino recommended the MyTaxi app, a very efficient way of ordering taxis in Rome. He arranged for our transfer from and to the airport, which went off without a hitch. The apartment is on a large, interior courtyard, very quiet. We were very pleased with our choice and would gladly stay there again.

Trip of a lifetime

My fiancée and I spent 6 weeks in Italy with side trips to Zurich, Titisee in Germany, Innsbruck and Eze in France. We spent one week in Rome at Nino's place, a fantastic apartment in Rome, it was simply a marvelous week. Starting with the Villa Borghese Gardens a short walk from Ninos. We specifically enjoyed the location of the apartment, a nice quiet area, and with Nino's guidance to trams and buses with a walk around the area became well acquainted with many of the "local" restaurants and cafes. Our very own tour guide. We had most of our week in Rome planned and with Nino's guidance as we went through our plans for the week he prepared a map with all locations marked and made other suggestions for a fabulous week in Rome. Always nice to know someone who has the knowledge of and the best places to make it a remarkable trip. He was also able to suggest a few places on our next part of our trip which was Sicily. We mentioned Trapani and he suggested a tram to Elice which was the most memorable tram ride we have ever taken...thank you Nino, our friend in Rome, for a great experience in Rome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay the listing was everything we were looking for in an apartment. Would definitely recommend the property and definitely would stay again. Hope you can come visit us in Arizona sometime soon.

A perfect place to stay while enjoying your visit to Rome

For our first visit to Rome, my wife and I wanted to stay in a quintessentially Roman studio in a location that, while accessible to the points of interest, was not itself a tourist area. This apartment was the perfect answer. Located in a magnificent building in the IV Quartiere, it is within walking distance of the Villa Borghese, with its extensive gardens and not-to-be-missed museum, the Spanish steps, and the Quartiere Coppede, an area of beautiful architecture. The studio itself is ideal for a single traveller or couple. A large sitting/dining area, brightly lit with 2 metre high windows, looks out to a courtyard with flowers and hibiscus trees. The fully-appointed kitchen allowed us to prepare anything from a cup of espresso coffee to a full evening meal, and the loft bedroom was equipped with ample closet space and a very comfortable bed. Our host Nino has spent his life in the Quartiere, and he showed his encyclopaedic knowledge of his city as he took us on a walking tour of the neighbourhood on our arrival, pointing out the bus and metro stops, street market, restaurants, bank machines, and various shops where we would find the best that Rome has to offer, greeting every second passerby and shopkeeper by name. His attention to our questions and needs was given with a smile and another interesting anecdote. He was the perfect host.
