Belvedere apartment Rome

The neighborhood
Definitely our best property and a real Roman complete apartment. Belvedere is situated in one of the best neighborhoods in Rome; the calm and fresh district of Monteverde Vecchio. Since it's a closed street, there's almost no traffic and no noise. This is a unique situation in Rome where most neighborhoods are rather noisy, cramped with cars and mopeds. The main nearby attractions are: Gianicolo, Villa Pamphili and Villa Sciarra (two of the most beatiful parks in Rome) and further Saint Peter's Church.

Apart from its quietness, Via Francesco Dall'Ongaro (5 min walk to famous Trastevere area) is well connected to the city center. Bus number 75 passes just beside the Coliseum and stops in Rome's main train station: Termini. In addition, tram number 8 and 3 stops just down the stairs of Via Francesco Dall'Ongaro and goes to Largo Argentina, which is at walking distance to Piazza Navona , Pantheon and Campo de Fiori.

The apartment
This fully furnished accommodation has approximately 80 square meters including a lovely balcony and a terrace which spots the view of the Castelli Romani (Roman hills).

There are two bedrooms for four people, toilet with bathtub/shower, fully equipped kitchen with washing machine, new refrigerator w/freezer, toaster-mini oven, stove, microwave oven, dishes, living and dinning room with TV.

Testimonials

"We will be very happy to recommend the apartment we rented at Roman Accommodation and You. We would like others to have the pleasure of having a nice place to stay while in Rome. The apartment, which is located in Belvedere / Trastevere, is comfortable and well-appointed. We where 4 adult persons ( two couples ), who enjoyed the space and particularly the two seperate bedrooms.
It is a lovely neighbourhood, which is located high above Rome. When we got 'home' after a hot day of sightseeing in the city, it was wonderful to relax at the terrace and watch while the sun set og coloured the rooftops of Rome in yellow / orange / red light. Later the streetlights would be turned on and it was so beatiful ! It have to be seen to know what we are talking about! Also the easy access to transportation - bus and tram - should be mentioned.
The owners of the apartment was very nice and helpful with all of our questions. E.g. when we where about to leave for the airport early in the morning they maked sure that we got a taxi and to a fair price. It was our first time visiting Rome, but we will love to come back and if or when we do we would like to stay at the apartment again.."

"Vi vil meget gerne anbefale lejligheden, som vi lejede hos dig, så andre også kan få glæde af at bo godt i Rom.
Lejligheden, der er beliggende i Belvedere/Trastevere, er hyggelig og velindrettet, og vi var 4 voksne mennesker, som nød, at der var god plads og to soveværelser, hvilket er svært at finde i de lejligheder, som vi ellers har set.
Det er et dejligt kvarter, som ligger højt over Rom, så når vi om aftenen efter en lidt varm dag i byen kom "hjem", var det helt vidunderligt at sidde en stund på terrassen og slappe af, mens solen gik ned og sendte sit helt specielle lys over husene nede i Rom - gule/orange/røde nuancer. Senere blev så lysene tændt i byen, og det var så smukt, at det nødvendigvis må ses, for at man kan forstå, hvad vi taler om. Også den lette adgang til de offentlige transportmidler - både bus og sporvogn - skal fremhæves.
Ejerne af lejligheden var utroligt søde og hjælpsomme med alt, hvad vi kunne finde på at spørge om - bl. a. sørgede de for, at vi fik en taxa til lufthavnen tidligt om morgenen, og der var sørget for en fast pris. Det var første gang, at vi gæstede Rom, men vi kommer gerne igen, og så ved vi, at vi gerne vil bo hos familien Biagini igen. Vi står også gerne til rådighed for andre danskere, som evt. kunne tænke sig at høre nærmere om lejligheden. De er velkomne til at kontakte os."

"It was a truly a pleasure meeting you both, and your apartment is lovely.  We only regret that we did not have more time in the heart of Rome, and time to relax at the apartment.  In fact, because we were sightseeing until late, we were only there the last evening to enjoy the sunset.  It was magnificent; the clouds cleared just enough for the rays to light up the city rooftops.
We really enjoyed familiarizing ourselves with the delightful neighborhood, and we felt safe walking at night.  There is a bakery, cappuccino bar, market, taxi station by the church, hospital, bus #75 to the Collosseo (just down the street to the left from the corner), a street market on Thursday, and restaurants.  In fact we ate at the family-owned restorante, Caffe Portoricos twice.  Our observation; Mama cooks as the grown kids wait tables, and all the while their Nonna (grandma) is sitting there taking everything in.  Later in the evening, as the crowd begins to wind down, Mamma gives Nonna her medication with a glass of water.  We recommend you go for dinner and to enjoy the ambience, vibrant friendly locals, nicely dressed women, families together, etc...and the food is good.  (From the apartment we walked left to the corner, two blocks right, and two blocks left).  During the day there is no evidence of its presence.  It isn't until after 3 or so that they attached the clear plastic walls to an iron frame (which sits along the sidewalk in the street) and move tables from inside; there is also indoor seating.
The bus is very convenient.  Early in the morning it took us to the Collosseo but after boarding realized that we were supposed to buy the ticket prior to boarding.  The ticket machines are at the stops.  But we are fast learners and realized that taxis are fairly economical and much faster.  Note: Until you get your bearings, we recommend that you carry the address/directions to the apartment with you until you become familiar with your surroundings. It was helpful to show the directions to the taxi driver, and we were off... like a bullet... to our apartment!
The apartment was very convenient and comfortable.  We appreciated having the washing machine, and we walked to the 'bar' in the morning for pastries and cappuccino.  The microwave was ideal for warming leftovers.  There is adequate sleeping for four guests, however the one room with twin beds is 'dorm' style so we flipped a coin (twice) to see who got the big bed...we won both tosses!  The bathroom is spacious and if you take brief showers there is enough hot water for four.  Because there are lots of windows the rooms are well lit, and the cross breeze must be fantastic on hot days.  Had the weather been more ideal, it would have been very romantic to sit outside on the terrace to sip our champagne.
Thank you both for accepting us to rent your apartment.  We highly recommend it and you both also.  We feel the price and terms were fair.  Our recommendation is that you provide a binder/journal for tennents to document their Rome experiences, recommendations/opinions about sites to see, their favorite restorantes, etc.
Perhaps you will include some of the notes we left with you."

"The Belvedere apartment was ideal for the needs of our family of 4, easy to reach Trastevere and the Centro by bus or tram (or foot, if need be; we walked into the heart of Trastevere in 10 minutes the night of a sciopero), but so much quieter and cooler up on the hill. We were especially struck by the apartment's fantastic cross-ventilation. Even when the July heat got stifling, the apartment stayed breezy and cool. The view is spectacular. I have the photo I took the first day showing the pyramid and the Colli Albani on my computer desktop. Our hosts were kind and helpful, full of advice about what the neighborhood had to offer. A plus for us: Monteverde Vecchio is a "real" neighborhood, devoid of tourists; the shops and bars cater to the people who live there. Staying there is an opportunity to live, if only for a week or two, the way the Romans do. Thank you again. We hope to come back sometime soon."

"For 5 nice days, as we spent in your apartment Belvedere. Would have liked to stay there 2 days more. I have just noticed that you have some more apartments in Rome. After we left your place we went back in this area 2 times for the next 2 days, as we were very fond of the place. We will recommend you to family and friends, who wants to go to Rome. And may be we will return in a couple of years."

"Tusind tak for 5 vidunderlige dage, som vi tilbragte i jeres apartment BELVEDERE i Rom. Vi var der sidst i aug./først i sept., hvilket var et godt tidspunkt, da vi så rigtig kunne udnytte den dejlige terasse, hvorfra der var en vidunderlig udsigt over Rom.  Især om aftenen nød vi det lune vejr og den smukke udsigt. Vi ville gerne være blevet der de sidste 2 dage af vores ferie, men da huset var lejet ud til anden side, var vi nødt til at flytte. Ikke langt fra lejligheden var der dagligt et godt marked, hvor vi kunne købe alt, lige fra sko til brød, ost kød og vin i god kvalitet til rimelige priser. Vi flyttede i nærheden af banegården, men var blevet så glade for området TRASTEVERE, at vi tog tilbage dertil hver aften  for at spise. Det er nemt og billigt at tage både bus og sporvogn fra området og rundt i byen. I øvrigt er der en smuk spadseretur fra lejligheden  over Gianicolohøjen og til Peterskirken (ikke for gangbesværede) Vi vil anbefale jeres apartment til familie og venner, som ønsker at rejse til Rom. Selv om  det var anden gang vi var i Rom blev vi ikke færdige med byen, så vi håber at vende tilbage til lejligheden  engang igen."

"Vi har haft en meget dejlig ferie. Lejligheden var perfekt og det gælder også for ankomst og afrejse, hvor vi blev mødt af meget venlige og imødekommende mennesker."

"I en pragtfuld lejlighed med udsigt fra terrassen ud over den sydlige del af Rom kan man nyde et ophold i den pulserende storby med afslapning i de stille, rolige og grønne omgivelser på Monteverde. Gennem udlejningsfirmaet Roman Accommodations havde familien lejet denne dejlige og store lejlighed beliggende i Monte Verde kvarteret på Via Francesco Dall'Ongaro (se beliggenhed) og vi kan så absolut anbefale et ophold i denne hyggelige bydel. Kun 2 minutter fra lejligheden kører hvert 10. minut bus nr.75 ned (for lejligheden ligger - som man kan se af fotoet - højt oppe på bakkesiden) til selve byen, forbi Circus Maximus (Circo Massimo), Colosseum og ad Via Cavour op til hovedbanegården Stazione Termini. Bussen har endestation på Piazza dell'Indipendenza, der ligger få minutter fra banegården efter Via Solferino, og efter en lang dags traven i den indre by er det en fordel at få sig en siddeplads i bussen herfra til turen "hjem", der tager omkring en time. Det er også muligt på et kvarter at gå ned til byen og nå den charmerende bydel Trastevere ved højens fod - eller på kort tid at spadsere over til Gianicolohøjen og nyde udsigten derfra. Men også selve Monte Verde kvarteret er værd at udforske. Få minutter fra lejligheden ligger en livlig bydel med gode forretninger og restauranter samt et hyggeligt gademarked. Vi kan anbefale det gode charcuteri og brød fra "Il Forno di Ambrosini" på den nærliggende Piazza Rosolino Pilo og de gode salater samt de grillstegte blæksprutter og andet godt i Ristorante Il Focolare i Via Gabriele Rossetti."

“Our trip was incredible and I only wish we had spent one more day.  There is too much to see and even with 5 full days we did not see it all nor get tired of looking.  We found the apartment charming and very comfortable. The location worked really well for us too.  I forgot to ask you for your restaurant recommendations.  I would have loved to have them even though we definitely ate well!  We liked everything about the apartment. I will definitely recommend your apartment to anyone I know coming to Rome !  Ciao!  Wendy “

"I am not an ex customer but a part customer who hopes to return to Rome and stay at the wonderful Belvedere again. My stay at the Belvedere was and remains one of my most memorable experiences in Rome. The accommodations were GREAT!! I loved sitting on the veranda in the evening overlooking the beautifully lighted City. I loved the location of the apartment because it was in a very nice residential area, walking distance to most things and just a couple blocks from the bus. I couldn't have asked for more. I work for an airline and when booking reservations for those going to Rome I always mention your web site and of course the Belvedere!
Thank you again for a most memorable experience!"

"What a relief to have an appartment like this. Enjoying Rome from our own base-camp. Gianfranco is a nice guy with a feeling of service. The site is professional and the contacts by email were fine. The apartment owners as well did have the right idea of hospitality. We would really recommend this way of having a speedy Rome weekend. We will be back soon!"

"Wat een verademing om lekker in een appartement te zitten. Heerlijk genieten van Rome vanuit onze eigen basiskamp! Gianfranco is een aardige vent met gevoel voor service. De site is professioneel en de contacten zijn prettig. Ook de eigenaren van het paradijsje zijn zich bewust dat het prettig is om gastvrij benaderd te worden. Een aanrader, deze manier van een relaxed flitsweekendje. Wij komen snel terug!"

"If you are looking for accommodation in Rome you couldn't choose a better place than the Belvedere Apt. It is a very comfortable apt. With a lovely patio (set on a hill) over looking parts of the City. Sitting here after a tiring, but exciting, day in Rome seeing all the sites is wonderful - with a glass of wine in one hand and the view in front of you. It is also very peaceful. Belvedere couldn't be better placed either to see the sites. It is only about 20mins away by number 75 bus which leaves from just round the corner (no more than 100 m away) and takes you to the Coliseum/ Palatine/ Forum/ Santa Maria Maggiore / and Termini station to mention just 5 of the stops. It is so convenient. We spent 5 days here - even had breakfast out each day at a little bar (closed on Tuesdays) just up the next road - 7 days would have been better!! Many thanks to our hosts"
