"Thank you very much for a wonderful stay at belvedere. The apartment was great and in a most beautiful and safe location. It was really beyond our expectations. We really enjoyed ourselves with the local people, getting fresh fruit at the market and eating at 3 very good nearby restaurants. The evening strolls to our favourite pastry and gelato shops will never be forgotten. Getting to all the major historical attractions via the nearby bus and Tram was extremely easy. We saw everything. The Vatican, Campo de Fiori, Piaza Navona, Colosseum, Circo Massimo, the Forum, Spanish steps, Trevi fountain, Borghese gardens, Piazza del Popolo, etc. This was a once in a lifetime trip that will be cherished forever. If you ever need a personal recommendation from someone is the USA please supply our telephone number. We will gladly share our wonderful experiences with them. Again thank you very much."

"We just wanted to say how wonderful staying at your apartment was. The apartment was lovely. The furnishings were beautiful and the kitchen and bath were very nice. The apartment building was very attractive and quiet and we were very comfortable and secure. The neighborhood was excellent. We felt comfortable walking home from the tram at 10 or 11 at night. We wandered around to the markets and felt it was a very nice community. And several times we went to a local restaurant that was recommended by the owners and had fabulous meals. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We give this apartment the highest rating and we look forward to staying there again some day."

"We will be very happy to recommand 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."
Bodil and Poul Frederiksen - Herning Denmark - Rome Belvedere
"We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment Daniela. It is a clean and well furnished apartment in an excellent spot in the centre of Trastevere. The only difficulty we had was parking a car. However I found somewhere about a kilometre away so just a short walk in the morning to the car. We are frequent travellers to Rome and I hope to stay here again."
Nigel Bowerr - London UK - Rome Daniela
"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."
Bodil and Poul Frederiksen - Herning Denmark - Rome Belvedere
"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."
Steve & Connie - California USA - Rome Belvedere
"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."
Ann Forest - Philadelphia USA - Rome Belvedere
"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."
Jonna Hedegaard - Copenhagen Denmark - Rome Belvedere
"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."
Eva Karlsson - Copenhagen Denmark - Rome Belvedere
"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."
Anna Larsson - Copenhagen Denmark - Rome Belvedere
“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 “
Wendy Truit - Seattle USA - Rome Belvedere
"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!"

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"

Christine, We want to thank you for the wonderful month of September 2006 we had in your San Frediano apartment.
1. The apartment itself is very nicely appointed, clean and exactly like the photographs you have published on your web site.
2. Every piece of equipment functioned well, and even though we didn´t actually cook a lot we had everything we needed for preparing salads, putting out spreads of wonderful cold cuts and cheeses and fruit.
3. The bed was very comfortable, including the fold out cot in the center room.
4. The TV was excellent and helped our Italian a lot.
5. Shopping in the neighborhood was excellent and a nice adventure.
6. We tried many of the local restaurants and they were excellent.
7. Bus service was excellent and walking to the center of old Florence was easy.
8. You mention the spacious shower in the San Frediano apartment and it is indeed large. The hot water functioned well.
9. The excellent near-by Internet place on the via Agostina, plus the near-by telephone shop made it unnecessary for us to have a mobile telephone. We were especially surprised how inexpensive it was to telephone.
10. Your friendly manner and excellent services made us feel secure and welcome. You have obviously thought out the apartment so well for foreign guests and we were grateful.
11. Oops, almost forget. The well-functioning filter coffee maker, really made excellent coffee.
Thank you for everything. Sincerely,
Hal O´Neal and Richard Adama

Ciao Cristina,
l'esperienza è stata ottima, io non sono stato più di un paio d'ore nell'appartamento, però i miei amici della Repubblica Ceca sono rimasti entusiasti!
Erano immersi nel centro di Firenze, l'appartamento li rendeva felici, pensa che se lo sono fotografato tutto hehe.
Insomma, si sono trovati ottimamente e mi hanno detto che il prossimo anno che sicuramente torneranno, vorranno tornare in un appartamento così.
Penso che questo dica tutto da se.
Quindi... che dire... sicuramente ci risentiremo hehe!!

The apartment San Frediano was perfect for our week-long stay in Florence.
The apartment was much larger than expected and very comfortably equipped
(we appreciated the American coffee machine!). The location was great --
Santo Spirito Church is around the corner and there is a lovely open-air
market with nice produce and wine. We also found some great restaurants
nearby. Cristina was very helpful in making museum reservations before we
arrived. We highly recommend the apartment!

Die Appartments liegen tatsächlich wunderbar nah am Zentrum. Der Platz um Santo Spirito ist dazu wunderschön und man kann dort auch abends sitzen. Tagsüber ist dort Markt und man kann preiswert einkaufen.
Die Räume sind schön eingerichtet, sauber und groß. Wie in den meisten Häusern in Florenz, insbesondere in den unteren Etagen, kommt nicht viel Sonne herein. Aber dafür ist man schließlich nicht in Florenz, um die Sonne vom Appartment aus zu genießen.
Die Menschen vor der Bar, die im Erdgeschoß liegt, waren am Wochenende (wie schon einmal im Gästebuch angemerkt) tatsächlich sehr laut bis tief in die Nacht. Es handelt sich wohl um Italiener und wir haben es als Lokalcholorid hingenommen. (Auf der Piazza della Signoria ist noch viel mehr Lärm in der Nacht und dort sind es die Touristen und ihre Unterhaltung.)
Die Vermieter, insbesondere Cristina, die alles managt, sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend und helfen einem in so gut wie allen Lebenslagen - auch wenn es für Cristina zwischen Familie, Beruf und Appartments gewiß eng wird, ist sie gut organisiert und sehr freundlich.
Wenn man mit dem Auto da ist, stellt man es am besten in eine öffentliche Garage, die ganz in Nähe liegt, aber ziemlich teuer ist. Wenn man in Florenz ist, wünscht man sich ohnehin, daß sich das Auto in Luft auflöst!
Wir können diese Unterkunft wirklich empfehlen!

Dear Cristina.
Thank you very much for your exceptional welcome and care you have provided to us during our Easter holidays in Florence. We were positively surprised by comfortable apartment Santo Spirito - it was bigger then expected, clean, well equipped and arranged in original Florentine style . We also enjoyed that the apartment itself is within walking distance from the historical center of your beautiful city and good restaurants the and that you showed us a parking place us close to the apartment. I have already recommended your web page to my friend who is interested to spend part of holidays in Florence and when we come again we would be happy to stay in your apartments if we are lucky and they are available.
With wishes of all the best, Eva, Katarina, Andrea and Pavol

We had a comfortable stay at San Frediano. The apartment has been thoughtfully and tastefully appointed, with everything we needed on hand. It is in a convenient site, with a daily market in the piazza nearby, which inspired us to buy fresh produce and try our hand at making our own Italian fare. There were also good restaurants nearby on the other nights when we felt lazy. It was much better than staying in hotel rooms, with a very spacious shower and main bedroom.

Hi Cristina
Thank you for writing. I totally enjoyed my stay in your apartment. Minor comments--I could not adjust the alarm clock settings or find a new sponge for the dishes. The room was cold at night, but I found blankets and made myself comfortable The crowd at the bar was a surprise...I lost a few hours sleep, but that would not stop me from staying there again.
I hope to have the opportunity to rent from you again in the near future. I visit for both work and pleasure, and I am interested in making an investment in the neighborhood. Have you ever considered selling it? Sincerely

Our stay in FLORENCE was fabulous and the big,comfortable,wonderful apartment added much to the experience...I was alittle apprehensive not really knowing what the apartment was really like(the net dose'nt really give you the true picture). It was awesome. It is located in the best part of FLORENCE, where the real people of FLORENCE live. Great places to eat within a few blocks, museums, shopping...damn i wish i was there! We also had our son and his friend with us and they did some traveling throughout EUROPE and thought the apartment was the best.(they are teenagers so i did'nt think they cared so much but they both loved the place)... Christina was so very helpful and down to earth, easy to deal with...We hope we have the good fortune of staying there in the future,we just simply loved it!

I really enjoyed my stay in this beautiful apartment. It was wonderful to stay away from the "touristy" part of town, but still be within walking distance to the museums,etc. The apt. seemed bigger to me than the pictures I saw on the net. The local restaurants were wonderful and it was easy to use the bus system to get around the city.
Christina was so helpful with last minute museum tickets, cell phone rental and any other details that concerned me. She was so pleasant and willing to help.
I had a great time in Florence and I would highly recommend this apt. Patty

A beautiful apartment - the photo on the website doesn't do it justice (at time of writing, it shows the very ordinary kitchen, whereas the rest is a beautifully renovated apartment). I can vouch for the comfort of the sofabed. Nice bathroom with a big shower and a nice big main bedroom; plenty of room to sit and eat at a proper dining room table. The distict was a perfect wandering distance from the heart of Florence. There is an excellent restaurant, recommended by Cristina, within 7-8 minutes' walk - Cristina can give details. Our only issue was noise from the very successful local bar. For heavy sleepers it's not a problem, but for light sleepers, earplugs and a grappa before bed are recommended. Everything was very efficient and well organised and I would definitely go back.

From my previous experience, these apartments are the most clean, spacious, comfortable and the location is perfect! We couldn't ask for a better accomodation in Florence. I was so happy that my friends loved the choice i've made and we decided that every time we return to Florence we will definately rent the same apartments. Grazie per tutto Cristina!!!

Il mio lavoro consiste nell'organizzare un evento in ogni suo aspetto: in produzione il lavoro è sottoposto ad un grande stress e ad un ritmo decisamente sostenuto, le cosa da fare sono tante e richedono tutte attenzione e cura. per questo motivo il supporto per la logistica della sig. cristina è stato prezioso ed il servizio flessibile e impeccabile. i nostri ospiti hanno potuto soggiornare in un ambiente raffinato e familiare che li accoglieva ogni sera al rientro dopo un'intensa giornata di lavoro garantendogli uno spazio in cui potersi realmente riposare e rigenerare, cosa rare da trovare in una qualsiasi stanza d'albergo.

I really loved my stay at Santo Spirito. The house is perfectly located, close to the city centre, but still in a local neighbourhood with few tourist. That gives a feel of real, florentine life. High standard, all amenities worked well, but still in a house from the 16th century with a nice feel of history about it. We will return to Florence some day, I´m convinced of that, and will be hoping to live in this great apartment again.

The apartment was much bigger then we expected even from the pictures. It was clean and spacious and has everything you might need (including pots, dishes, a refrigerator and a French press for coffee). It is a short and scenic walk from anywhere you would like to be in Florence and very close to the Palazo Pitti. It is a few minutes walk to many restaurants, bars and cafes. Christina is incredibly helpful with everything from directions and suggestions to replacing a light bulb. She is available whenever you need them. Cosimo was at our apartment to greet us when we arrived and he was helpful with our luggage and showing us around, Christina arrived a short while later and they could not have been more accommodating.
I have only wonderful things to say about our experience in this apartment and working with Christina. We will stay there the next time we are in Florence as well and have recommended it to all of our friends.

We found the spacious one-bedroom apartment, recently remodeled with a classic Tuscan design, to be very charming and comfortable The appliances and furnishings are all rather new and function very well. There was plenty of room for my wife, young daughter and myself. When I consider the great condition of the apartment, its ideal central location, and the reasonable price, I would say that we found ourselves a great deal. We have traveled throughout Italy quite a bit, staying in a number of hotels and apartment rentals - this, by far, was our best renting experience of all.

In comparison to other apartments we have rented in Paris and Rome, yours is by far the nicest: larger, cleaner, better furniture and wonderfull " atmosphere ". It is also well located. Of course the noise in the bar at the corner on fridays´and saturdays´nights were part of the fun and rarely unbearable. Nice support when needed from the part of the owners. Arthur

The apartemnt itself is very convenient with comfortable furniture and disposition (large shower, good beds ..).It's easy to come back home for a lunch and a rest moment before running out for a new vistt of the city!

Thank you for your email regarding the books, but its not necessary to send us these books, we had finished reading them
and thought someone else might enjoy reading them as well and therefore left them for another guest at the apartment.
Yes we had a very nice stay in Florence, thank you for your hospitality, we will be returning as we love Florence and were
very happy with the accommodation and will also be recommending your apartment to our friends.
Kind regards
Tricia Slattery.

My wife (Maria) and me werw very happy --first of all in Florence-- in that apartment, because it was very clean, and very nice, very confortable, inside, and so close to the center of Florence.And, of course, we were glad with the final price. We have recomended to some persons, who listen to us with great attention. I do not know what else I could say about, because I have a very nice regard from our stay in Florence, thanks --in a great part-- to you and your husband, for have confidence in us.Till soon --I hope-- receive the regards from Maria and me, Luis. |
