Vatican Amazing Terrace Overlooking St Peter

Das Appartement war klein, aber sehr sauber und die Ansprechspersonen top. Die Terrasse ist zwar ausserhalb, aber sehr gemütlich.

Für zwei Personen mit Teenager schon klein. Aber für zwei sicher ausreichend.

The location is perfect: a few minutes’ walk from La Piazza e Basilica di San Pietro in one direction and Castel Sant’Angelo in the other, on a very quiet little street. Although the tourist bustle is only about a hundred metres away, the apartment itself is very quiet and peaceful. There are excellent trattorias, restaurants, sandwich shops and other places to eat and drink nearby, particularly Al Passetto di Borgo, about 50 metres away. Do not let its outward appearance put you off: it serves excellent, traditional food, including the best carbonara we have eaten in Rome in recent years. Or Osteria Nuvolari on nearby Via degli Ombrellari, with a superb coda alla vaccinara. The girl who welcomed us was exceptionally warm, friendly and polite. She greeted us cheerfully even though our late flight meant we did not arrive until around 11.30 pm. The kitchen had plenty of clean crockery and cutlery, an excellent new gas hob, a large sink and two good moka pots. Both rooms had air conditioning that worked very well. We also found several small umbrellas in the wardrobe, which was a thoughtful and useful touch. This apartment could be an excellent choice for guests whose main priority is being close to the Vatican, particularly those visiting for religious reasons. The location has a great deal to offer.

There is an excellent overhead rainfall shower but no handheld shower. Adding a handheld shower would seem a straightforward improvement and would make it possible to wash properly.
