We spent New Year in Bella Roma (for the first time)- and it felt like we held it at home. The apartment felt warm, even though it was rather chilly outside. OK - we also enjoyed ourselves outside on Café Farnese, and had lunch outside at several places, so it couldn't have been that cold... ;o)The apartment was clean and in a nice shape with a brand new dishwasher. We know that the rental price is not the cheapest, but the location and the apartment in itself is perfect for our needs, so we rate it as value for money. Unfortunately we were not woken by singing from the nuns in the backyard this time....;o)PS: If you run out of reading material, we recommend the "Almost Corner Bookshop" just across Ponte Sisto in Trastevere. A little gem. We'll be back - hopefully soon!

Second time around, and it was like coming home. The minor flaws we reported last year had been mended. We could still use the terrace for most of our in-house meals. The neighbourhood is magnificent, and the bread at Forno and the treats at Ruggeri - on Campo de Fiori are still the best, as are the tomatoes from the market. And every morning at 8.30 we were woken by the choirsong from the Nunnery in the backyard. Nice touch! ;o) We'll definetly be back!

The flat was clean ,in a very quiet location but perfectly situated in the centre of Rome. The flat owner was very helpful in finding accommodation when our return flight was delayed.

Apt was way bigger than we thought. Location couldn't have been better and the service was great. All the reviews on here were accurate: the biggest downside was the washing machine is up in this loft and hard to access but otherwise it was a great stay. 2 bathrooms was awesome. It was a little chilly in the apt and the heat was not the best so maybe wouldn't recommend staying here in the winter.

The location of the terrace was fantastic, so close to the main attractions and piazzas. The terrace was very good although the outdoor terrace was smaller than l thought. Other than that it was comfortable and thank gosh the air conditioning worked well as it was very hot in Rome.

Review:
Beautiful apartment in best location in Rome, we loved the Campo de Fiori area and were glad we chose that over other locations. Can walk to everything. Apartment was almost perfect for our needs, but bed in second bedroom is really not a standard single bed by US standards - fine for a 12 year old or under, but others may find it uncomfortable; that's the only reason I bumped down a star from 5 stars. Sofa bed however was fine. Best mozzarella and proscuitto right across the street at Pierluigi. Welcoming staff very attentive, but need to call on arrival so keep phone number handy. Would not hesitate to book again or recommend. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Location, location, perfect location! It suited us perfect as a base for our Roman holiday this year. The appartment was lightfilled, with beatiful views over the roofs and terraces - even to St. Peter, and had an ecclectic and comfortable mix of furniture. We enjoyed our breakfast and some of our dinners on the charming little terrace. Even though there were a few flaws (dishwasher wasn't working properly and one washbasin didn't drain), we still rate the stay as 5 star. We'll be back - please check the availability for the second week of May 2010 - at the latest....

Review:
The apartment is spacious & comfortable with tasteful antiques/decor and in a quiet location.The terrace is tiny but perfect & there are two bathrooms,ideal if you are in a larger party (we were just 2).The apartment can actually sleep 5 people at a pinch.The lift is a boon when hauling suitcases upstairs ,but has rather ruined the lovely marble staircase (bah humbug!) We recommend bar Peru just left up the street towards Farnese for cheap(er) coffees & drinks & very friendly barman in the evenings.Best Pizza is at Bafetta 2, just off the Campo -service can be unpredictable but the pizzas are to die for & worth the wait.(But you wont get ham & pineapple!). Too many wonderful restaurants to mention,plus the joy of Campo de Fiori market which is why we choose this location so we can cook...Also the pound against the Euro is hideous just now! Downsides:there is no doorbell marked 'Beducci' despite the info from Holiday Velvet so make sure you ring the contact person before you arrive or you'll have to wait outside & puzzle as we did.The kitchen is minute & could be better equipped for cooking-there's nothing to use in the oven like casserole dishes etc so I could only use the hob.Dishwasher is great though.Main gripe was the CD player didnt work and given the price we were paying,it should have been dealt with.Feeble excuses were offered by the local contact & it took a call to James to get it sorted out which shouldnt have been necessary & was also costly.Service from the agency letting the apartment was impersonal & not exactly friendly,unlike the previous apartment we stayed in which had a personal touch.Some stern notices tell you what you MUST not do! This is why we give a rating of 4 not 5 stars.

Location of this property could not be better - a quiet street yet just minutes from historic centre. The apartment itself was clean, and well equipped. A few instructions for dishwasher and washing machine would have been useful (we could not get dishes to clean properly in dishwasher) and the dining room table was very wobbly. But these are minor complaints. Overall, we were very pleased with the property and felt that, for Rome, it was probably good value.

Excellent location and space. Happy to discover that there was a lift since the flat was located on the top floor.

I wanted to let you know that we were very pleased with our apartment in Rome & would highly recommend your site. The apartment was very nice, clean & in an excellent location. The pictures on the website were very accurate. We are happy with your services & will definitely use you again. I want to especially point out that Vicky in your Rome office was very helpful in helping us track down some lost luggage. Her customer service skills are excellent & I would like to write a letter to her boss if you have his email address. She really went out of her way to help us when everyone else was not in the least bit helpful. Thank you again for your assistance in choosing the right apartment. We feel that this was a nearly perfect choice for us. Buon anno!

Review:
Highly recommended: my wife, teenage daughter and I stayed for 3 nights. Central location, in the character-filled close streets of old Rome, with a great view across the rooftops. Minor hassles: climbing 99 steps to get to the apartment (no lift), there is only one good-size bedroom (the 2nd was closet-sized with a cot) and a ladder to access the laundry (no drying facilities) but the apartment is charming, solid, clean and comfortable. Felt quiet & safe. A good shower and separate bathroom. Within easy walking distance of the Vatican, Tevere River and bridges, Trastavere, piazzas and restaurants. There was a timing mishap with the chauffeur service from the airport but it was worth the cost.
