- Hi James, just a quick note to say thank you to holiday velvet. We had a great time in Rome. The Caraci apartment was lovely, we really loved the decor. The location was perfect! I am recommending holiday velvet and in particular the Caraci apartment to all my friends.

- The decor of this apartment was absolutely beautiful, in my favourite location in Rome, but on a quiet side street.Don't be put off by the entrance. Only wish I could have stayed longer. Recommending to all my friend's. Can't wait for a return visit.

- This is a lovely apartment in a superb location and will give you a perfect taste of Roman living.The apartment itself is tasteful and very comfortable-the owner met us personally on arrival and allowed us to stay late on our last day because we had an evening flight:much more generous than you could expect from a hotel.The proximity to the Campo De Fiori is what makes this apartment such a joy.The fruit,veg and flowers on sale every day except Friday & Sunday are something you only dream of in the UK.All seasonal - handfuls of rocket,fresh broad beans,zucchini flowers,you name it! It would be a crime not to cook with such food literally on the doorstep.The market is complemented by a superb delicatessen on the corner-bread by weight,fresh buffalo mozzarella,fresh pasta & gnocchi...plus staples like wine,milk, & bottled water.You get the picture! :) By night the Campo is cleared for the bars and restaurants.We chose to eat out further afield some nights-try the Jewish quarter and Trastevere just over the bridge.Its easy walking to many sights and public transport is cheap and easy.Just buy your tickets first!We enjoyed being away from the tourist drag of Piazza Navona & the Spanish Steps - this part of Rome is definitely more homely.In addition to our own walks in the city,we took trips out to the aqueducts and Ostia Antica. Downsides:if noise bothers you,take earplugs as the market setting up early each morning can be noisy-but its a small price to pay for being so close to the best of what Rome has to offer.
