About this property

Wonderful Island in the center of Rome: Davide Hjemmestyre

This beautiful apt is located at Santa Maria Liberatrice Square, in the heart of Testaccio. It's just been renovated (March 2010) with refined taste with precious material (Wood, Travertine, etc.) and furnished tastefully.
It's situated on the first floor of a building which dates back to 19th Century. It's composed of (1) an entrance, (2) a well equipped kitchen (pots, pans, a microwave, a dish-washer, a toaster, a fridge, a freezer, gas-stove, an oven, a grill, etc.). A corridor leads to a living room (3) with a comfortable sofa double bed, a writing desk, a TV, a DVD, a stereo CD, a chair bed (very comfortable). (4) A spacious and beautiful bedroom, (5) A bathroom with a wonderful travertine shower. Next to the bathroom there's a small box room with a washing machine. At the end of the passage there's a wardrobe room. Coffee, tea, salt, sugar, vinegar, olive oil, chocolate, soap for dish washer and for the washing machine are provided.


Testaccio Area:: Even if in the heart of Testaccio area, calmness and peace are assured. The apt faces a quite courtyard. Outside the building there's a park with recreational facilities. The charming area of Testaccio is perhaps the last outpost of a nearly disappeared Rome. It's a slice of the city, next to Aventino and the Cocci Mountain, between Tiber bend at Ripa Grande and Piramide Cestia, next to Trastevere Area. It's nearly intact with the same original roman spirit. If you walk to Santa Maria Liberatrice, go around the famous fresh market counters (it is behind the building of the apt), Mattatoio, Campo Testaccio or to Acattolico Cemetery, you realize and breath the popular, human atmosphere.

Transport:: The apt is central, you can walk to the most important places in Rome but it's well connected by buses, trams, Piramide Subway. The subway leads to Coliseum, only 2 stops, to Piazza Navona etc.

Why the Owner Chose Aventino Testaccio: : Testaccio is a little Island where you can find yet the ancient and magical style of Living of true Romans. Close to each important Monument. Here you can have all the different way to visit and enjoy this wonderful City. The Unique Benefits at this Apartment: Year Purchased: 2009 - The apartment has been built with all the things everyone would like to have. I traveled. And I know what I would like to find in an apartment for my holiday. Owner Description/Comments: Kind and Available to contribute your perfect holiday in Rome, with all my advice.

Pleasant Stay

Very nice location in a much quieter neighborhood. We enjoyed being away from the noise but able to hop on a bus and quickly get into the touristy areas. The apartment itself was very well equipped and comfortable. We had a great stay and would recommend this neighborhood for future guests.

Fantastic stay in Rome

Very clean property that feels like home. Check in process they meet you at the property to make sure you are settled. At first I was unsure if there was enough room for the five of us, but as long as your okay sharing a pull out couch, then yes there is enough room. Location was fantastic - not too touristy so you get to experience the local Roman culture while having a short bus ride to the main attractions. Also very good value for the price we paid. Overall I would highly recommend staying here.

We loved our stay. It is in a quaint location and is easy to get to. Very walkable and there is a convenient bus stop nearby to get to Trastevere or the center of Roma. Toiletries are provided and there is a laundry machine. Overall a great stay.

A real taste of Rome

We very much enjoyed our stay here. We needed to go Fiera di Roma on the airport train line every day for 10 days and it was a pleasant 20 minute walk to Ostiense station. It was about 20 minute walk to the area of Coliseum and Forum. The Testaccio neighbourhood is wonderful with a convenient grocery store and many restaurants. All of our communications with the host were easy and useful.

Wonderful Stay in Rome

The owner’s son, Davide, was welcoming and very helpful. The apartment was clean and well stocked with all the amenities. The best part of this place is the location. It is a short bus ride to all the sights but the neighborhood itself is not full of tourists. It was nice to get away from all the craziness after a day of sightseeing. There are many excellent restaurants nearby. We tried all of the owner's recommendations and they were all excellent. I would return if I visit Rome again.

This is a terrific property in Testaccio. We appreciated having the ability to cook when we chose to, although we often ate out at the great area restaurants. Communication was prompt. Check-in was a breeze. The apartment is very close to bus, subway, and train stations, so getting around is very easy. The area is extremely walkable. We would stay here again, and fully intend to do so the next time we are in Rome.

Carmela was very warm and welcoming! The apartment was clean and tidy with a great location near good food and good market. It was a bit warm even with the air conditioning but we are not used to warm weather. The last day or so the common area/stairs smelled of cat piss. Overall a great place to stay in Rome

Great apartment in Testaccio

Due to weather we missed our connecting flight and got into Rome later than expected. Our host organized a car for our family from the airport and met us at the apartment to check us in. The heat was unforgiving while we were in Rome, so we were happy that all major buses stopped 1 or 2 blocks away and very easy to navigate. The apartment with air conditioning was a lifesaver and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
