Warm and
Welcoming, Large Apartment with Terrace
Sleeps
7 with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths
Location
The Castello vacation apartment
in Rome is located in the elegant and popular
Prati neighborhood. It just behind Castel
Sant'Angelo, the Pope's refuge in more
turbulent times, and steps from Saint Peter's
Basilica. Cross the Tiber river across the bridge
of Angels in front of the castle and you'll find
yourself near the popular Piazza Navona, a ten
minute walk.
Walk out your front door three
blocks to reach one of the most
popular shopping areas for Romans, the Via Cola di
Rienzo which features fine clothing and gourmet
food shops, good restaurants, cafes and prices
that are a bit lower than the more touristy areas
of the historic center. There are two
very well-known Roman gourmet food shops nearby where you can browse the selection of
prepared foods for take-away or pick-up special
sweets. Also convenient is the large Standa
supermarket about a 5-minute walk away, which is
one the most popular features of this area since
it has an excellent selection of standard grocery
items, housewares and deli foods.
Building
Located in a handsome, well-maintained
building from the 1800s, the lower floors have
offices and a doorman during business hours add
security.
Interior Description
The inviting Castello apartment is a great base for
your stay in Rome. It is large, bright and
comfortable. The renovation to this apartment was
done in 2007 so everything is fresh with warm,
typically Roman colors throughout.
The living room has a sofa that
converts to a queen sized bed together with two
armchairs. A shelving unit holds a television with
Satellite reception that brings in a few English
language channels.
A good-sized eat-in kitchen has a large
refrigerator/freezer, microwave, drip coffee
maker, electric kettle, toaster, four burner stove
top, oven, and dishwasher.
Right off the kitchen,
convenient for serving, is a feature that is so
grand to have in Rome, a full terrace with a
table for four with umbrella. The terrace
overlooks the neighborhood, Roman rooftops and allows you to dine
under Roman skies.
Outside the kitchen is a pantry
with table items. Next to the pantry is a bath
with shower.
The largest bedroom
sleeps three with a queen sized bed and a single.
A small closet has been added recently, replacing
the traditional armoire. Across the hall is the
large, handsome master bathroom with shower.
A balcony overlooks the
neighborhood and connects with the second bedroom.
The second bedroom also has a queen sized bed and
a small closet.
Each bedroom has a television.
