About this property

Very special place in the heart of Rome

Our stay in the Flavia's apartment was amazing. The location is great - literally in the middle of the city center, a walkable distance to main historical places, 20 min to Vatican, 25 min to Forum / Colosseum. Note that the city center is quite large, so be prepared to walk a lot anyway (to my opinion, the best way to explore Rome is by walking). The apartment itself has a very nice old-style atmosphere with views of cozy streets and roofs like in story-tales. Everything appeared as in the pictures provided. Nightlife is literally downstairs - there are many pubs and restaurants nearby. Our hosts, Flavia and Nicola, were very kind to leave us a welcoming gift including some good wine with sweets and pasta - exactly what we needed after a long and late trip. We definitely want to stay at this place once again!

My accommodation is elegant, comfortable and spacious in the heart of Rome.
You will live in an ancient palace of the '500 near Piazza Navona, San Pietro, the Coliseum,
There is a large living room with fireplace, a large kitchen, three double bedrooms, one with fireplace, three bathrooms, a Jacuzzi, a loft with a single bed and a lovely little terrace between the roofs.
The house is equipped with every comfort. Assistance 24h
You'll love people, atmosphere and you will live an unforgettable holiday!

Terrific location

Traveled with adults kids. Total of 5. Layout was great. Offered privacy but den was spacious to be together. One bedroom has ensuite bath. The other 2 baths are off the hall. No problem just bring a robe! There are lots of steps inside the flat. Couple up/down into most rooms. AC worked great. Kitchen was well equipped. Used the washing machine and drying rack several times. Lots of supplies available and purchased some addl items at the local grocery. Very easy to operate out of the flat for a week. Lovely end to a terrific vacation! Thanks!!

The Beauty of Rome

We loved the apartment. It was clean and the location is perfect. Flavia, Mauro, Nicola were all wonderful. Very good communicators. The were helpful in arranging for transportation to and from the airport. A booklet is on site explaining “things to know” about the apartment along with info on restaurants and transportation. I highly recommend Flavia and the Navona Flat!

Absolutely perfect

I can’t stress how amazing this apartment was! This was a family weekend to Rome. This place is huge and the photos don’t make you appreciate the size! You enter from the street and go through a locked gate on the staircase. The bedrooms are so spacious and comfortable. The kitchen has plenty of space to sit and chat over a coffee (which I really enjoyed making my first ever stove top coffee!). There’s a table in the living room where we enjoyed morning croissant or a game of cards. The windows open wide and you’re immersed in the beautiful sounds of Rome! We stayed in the room with a circular staircase leading to a terrace. This was perfect for enjoying a peaceful beer on the evening. There was even a guitar that entertained my son! Positioning couldn’t be better. We never got a taxi or public transport because as long as you’re fairly mobile everything was in walking distance within the beautiful streets of Rome! We visited Vatican City, Sistine Chapel, Pantheon and Spanish steps all within easy reach of the apartment. Within seconds walk from your door is Piazza Navona with beautiful views and restaurants. There is a well stocked shop seconds from the door. The owners and check in manager kept in contact - even forming a convenient WhatsApp group which meant we could keep in touch when we arrived! Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment and if you’re considering visiting Rome you really couldn’t ask for more!

Italy Vacation

Having the large apartment available for our time in Rome was invaluable! The location was perfect and allowed us to get to everywhere we needed to go within a short amount of time. We walked everywhere except the Colosseum (including the Vatican). There are markets and restaurants very close by as well. There was good communication, during our stay, from the property manager. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend to anyone.

Perfect Family Getaway

Our party included 3 adults and 2 children (4 and 8). The location of the apartment is perfect, with many great restaurants just steps away and a grocery store just around the corner. All of the main attractions are walkable, including Vatican City. As for the actual apartment, absolutely perfect. The kitchen is very spacious and has everything needed for a home cooked meal. The living area and bedrooms were also spacious with more than enough room for our party of 5. This is the perfect place to stay for an enjoyable vacation to Rome!

Our foam location after a whirlwind 10 days

I went to Italy with my 2 (Italian) sisters and our (very American) husbands. This location was ideal for our last day in Rome - perfectly situated near the action and absolutely gorgeous. I am positive that someone professional decorated because it was stunning. The only issue was that we traveled with 3 couples and the bedroom/ bathroom situations were not equal. For any other 3 this would have been an issue, but luckily we are easy going. The bed in one room too small for the husband and the hot water was not forthcoming. I still give this 5 stars because the good outweighs the small annoyances. Check in and out was effortless and efficient- the host a doll. The American husbands have gained a great understanding of their wives and our history and customs!

Great location and fabulous flat!

This is my favorite area to stay when I'm in Rome. You can see the photos of the flat but when we walked in from the elevator I was amazed by the large size of the living room. This is a grand flat! We loved the old world feel to it with the exposed beams and big windows. This was our favorite kitchen in all our travels as it all felt like a family home. Great mattresses and anything you need to cook with. We could just walk out the door and 1 minute later have many restaurants, Piazza Novana, Tiber River and a shimmering view of Castle St Angelo at night. There is a small terrace too for coffee or quietness. We really loved coming back from our adventures and sitting in the big kitchen talking about Rome. We would definitely come back to this flat. The owner was great to work with and very communicative. As it is on the 2nd floor the any street noise wasn't noticed. You wont be disappointed if you are lucky enough to stay here. I know I'm coming back!

Lovely apartment

Great location and very nice people to deal with. There is an elevator thankfully as there are a lot of stairs . Surprised by the number of cleanup requirements when leaving as we did not have to do all that at any other VBRO.( strip bed, clean dishes, sort garbage and dispose etc)

Perfect in every way

Our family group of 5 adults was looking to stay in Rome a few days after our cruise ended. We were focused on the size of accommodations and location. This was a perfect choice. From the moment we entered, it was clear that this was a family home, graciously appointed to make it very livable. I had the opportunity to get acquainted with Flavia, which only enriched the experience of our stay. If you are wanting to stay in Centro Roma, this is the place!

Perfect layout and location

Family of 7 from teens to seniors. Apartment has a wonderful layout allowing for everyone to have their own space plus a large living area for everyone to gather together. Lovely well equipped kitchen. Loft and balcony was perfect spot for young adults to hang out and play guitar! Air conditioning and elevator for luggage or mobility impaired. Felt very safe with all the locks and gates. Can’t say enough about the location. Right in the heart of Rome. Walking distance to major sights. Taxi stand close by. Great restaurants and shops steps from apartment. It’s hard to please everyone in our group but everyone loved our visit here. Would come back without hesitation.

Right in the Middle of the Action

This property is absolutely amazing. It is so close to all of the major monuments and piazzas in Rome. We were walking distance to all but the collosseum but that was because of ability, not the distance. Our granddaughter was enchanted with her loft room. All the beds were comfy and the air conditioning was such a reward after being out all day in the heat. Simon, who checked us in, was a delightfully kind person. He even walked us to the Pantheon as we were getting short on time and weren't sure of the direction. There was plenty of space for six adults and one child. Do take a serious look at this listing. We loved it and would certainly stay here again when in Rome.

Spacious apartment in the heart of Rome

This place was awesome. It was very spacious. Our family including two teenage boys had plenty of space to lounge during the afternoon siesta. It had bedrooms and bathrooms for all and a large living room. The decor was beautiful and seem to have been collected over decades. The air conditioning worked well even with tall ceilings were and the airy rooms. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well, especially during nap time. It was quiet despite the lively squares nearby. The hosts were very helpful and attentive, and the location was fabulous, just minutes from the Piazza Narvona, the Pantheon and the Vatican, and a half an hour from the Colloseum. It was a key part of our enjoyment of the ancient city of Rome. We can't wait to return.

Beautiful stay, perfect location

Staying here was the highlight of our trip. The layout of the flat is perfect, with a master bedroom on one side and other bedrooms on the other side. It is elegantly decorated, yet has the feel of getting to stay in someone's authentic, classy home (rather than a staged apartment), which is cool. Three large bathrooms, perfect for multiple adults traveling. Good service from owner and property managers.
