The Experience

In the heart of the heart of Rome and walking distance to Piazza Navona, duck down a tiny passage into a 15th-century palazzo courtyard. The ground-floor studio apartment mixes New York loft cool with Renaissance flourishes: gilded portraits and family antiques, white walls and floors, sleek furnishings.

Cleverly organised to offer modernity but comfort, the double-height room has a mezzanine-level bedroom where a double and a single bed still leave plenty of space – there’s an extra sofa bed downstairs. A shiny, well-equipped kitchen slips seamlessly into a corner; elsewhere bright yellow cushions and a modish-styled sofa sit happily amongst gleaming antiques.

Pull out the nifty table to eat indoors or mix with the locals in the street’s trattorias and bakeries; the smell of fresh bread reaches your front door and you’ll find plenty of information in the flat about the best places to eat.

Reviews

The flat is located inside a historical building with its charm of another era. You have all the freedom to explore Rome easily on foot, and you can cook your own meals – but you can't miss all the amazing restaurants that owner Andrea has to suggest.

Timothy, Norwich

The flat is right in the heart of the main cultural attractions as well as a range of great food shops and markets. For my money the local Carrefour is the best per square inch of any I have been to. There is a pasticerria opposite and good bakeries beyond the Campo dei Fiori. Where was I ? ..Yes very snug and well lit apartment with very comfortable bed and good kitchen equipment plus all Andrea's elegant family heirlooms. Plus two great quirky bathrooms. And then Andrea himself was very helpful and charming with lots of local knowledge. We had a good time.


Julie, HARROGATE

We spent 5 days at this lovely apartment which began with the very highly recommended taxi transfer service arranged by Andrea.It was very reasonable and took us within yards of the apartment where we were met by Andrea. The apartment's location is fantastic with great proximity to all the major sights on foot. The apartment,as well as being very well appointed and comfortable, was very private and quiet even though as you stepped outside the exterior courtyard door, you are immediately plunged into a bustling but welcome neighbourhood. The apartment was pristine and is highly recommended.


Geoff

We have used Sawdays successfully on previous occasions and this time it was no different. Excellent, personalised attention from the owner and great surroundings, facilities and location. We stayed for 10 nights. Would definitely stay in this apartment again. Excellent value.


Geoff

Andrea and his wife Ludovica operate an exquisite, very well-appointed, quiet and secure Apartment in old Roma. The location is extremely good and close to vatican city and other attractions as well as the bus routes. My wife and I prefer self-catering and for that the modern kitchen was well-equipped. A good supermarket is situated a minute's walk away, as well as wine stores and restaurants. The guest book includes many eating recommendations including a couple of special ones found by us that provide a lot more than just pizza and pasta, at very affordable prices. We will stay again!


Location

The neighbourhood

The street runs perpendicular to the famous Vicolo del Governo Vecchio in the Parione quarter – named for the presence of an old wall probably belonging to the Stadium of Domitian. You're not far from the Jewish Quarter where most of Rome's famous cuisine originated – try Forno Roscioli and gelateria Frigidarium. Recommended restaurants are Alfredo e Ada and Osteria La Fiaschetta.

Local points of interest from Andrea Marcello

  • Piazza Navona (2 min walk from the apt): the square represents the pride of Baroque Rome, and is home to the Fountain of the Rivers, one of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's greatest masterpieces.
  • The Campo de’Fiori square in Rome (3 min from the apt) hosts a typical open-air market during the day, with flowers, fruit and vegetables. At night it is one of the most popular spots for both Italians and tourists.
  • Just 10 minutes’ walk from the apt you can reach the Basilica of St. Peter. Among its masterpieces, do not miss Michelangelo's Pietà and the tomb of Pope John Paul II. The Vatican Museums are only a short walk from Bernini's colonnade.
  • There are several churches nearby, including the Church of St. Agostino and the Church of San Luigi dei Francesi where you can see 4 of Caravaggio's paintings for free, including The Calling of St. Matthew and the Madonna di Loreto.
  • Small family restaurants are available around the corner, tucked away and barely visible. Here you can enjoy wholesome meals as part of the Roman cuisine.
  • Trattoria La Montecarlo (in the same street as the apartment): great pizza and typical Roman cuisine at affordable prices.
