Guest Reviews
- Marree (10/5): Great location, cosy and very comfortable. - Very cosy and comfortable, great location.
- Taiana (10/5): -
- Lilian (9/5): Mooie dagen in Rome - De locatie is prachtig. Je zit zowat aan achtertuin van vaticaan. Vaticaan museum en sint Pieter liggen op loopafstand. De Buren zijn burger king en een ijssalon.😀 App light op 5e etage. Je komt binnen met code die je bij aanmelden op de mail krijgt. App is ruim. Er is koffie en thee. Was machine. 2 slaapkamers,2 badkamers. Ruime keuken Lift zouden mensen eng kunnen vinden. Als je op knopje drukt gaat hij ook meteen dicht.
- Tibor (7/5): - Výborná adresa v blízkosti verejnej dopravy, obchodov a reštaurácií. Pohodlné izby aj postele a dostatok priestoru v príjemnom rímskom byte. Bolo by to skvelé ubytovanie až na self check in Vikey a otváranie dverí. Psycho teror pri self check in Vikey, úžasne komplikované a otravné. Otváranie dverí na byte cez kódovaný kľúč trvalo vždy 30-40 minút, pretože kľúč nefungoval správne a pri jednom stlačení čísla sa toto číslo zobrazilo viac krát a pri nenormálne dlhom kóde bolo skoro nemožné otvoriť dvere. Pre tento zážitok ja tento apartmán viac neobjednám a neodporúčam.
- Monica (10/5): Location and comfort - top notch - Location, size, comfort Getting in initially was not easy. They used a service for entry and it was not communicated that we were granted early access before 3. The app for entry never worked so we had to enter a lengthy code every time to enter the apartment.
- Jennifer (9/5): Great place to stay in Rome. - The location was perfect... literally looked out the window, and the Vatican was right there. All big attractions were within a 30-minute walk, and Metro access was easy. There were many excellent restaurants within minutes of this location. The apartment was spacious, which gave us some privacy when needed It is a busy area so there is a lot of traffic noise at night but would not discourage me from staying there again.
- Anikó (9/5): - A szállás tiszta volt, a szobák tágasak, kényelmesek. A konyha jól felszerelt. Az elhelyezekdése nagyon jó! A szomszédos fagyizóban van Róma legfinomabb fagyija.
- Karolina (10/5): Genialna lokalizacja, bardzo komfortowe warunki. Widok z okna, jak z pocztówki! - Idealna lokalizacja, mieszkanie duże, czyste i przestronne
- Agnieszka (10/5): Bardzo klimatyczne i urokliwe miejsce - Świetna lokalizacja, piękny widok z okna, wszędzie pełno knajp z przepysznym jedzeniem, plac św. Piotra 10min spacerkiem, centrum a mimo wszystko w nocy spokojnie, dwie łazienki, przepiękny klimatyczny salon gdzie można na spokojnie zaplanować cały dzień, w kuchni ekspres do kawy oraz podstawowe rzeczy typu przyprawy, z czystym sumieniem polecam knajpkę obok wejścia do kamienicy, lody, kawa i cudowne kanapki z regionalnymi produktami nic
- Bignotti (9/5): Consigliatissimo! - Posizione eccellente, casa confortevole e spaziosa Manca uno spazio esterno anche solo un balconcino
- Chrisa (10/5): -
- Zajko-Sitarz (10/5): -
- Magdalena (10/5): -
- Lorella (10/5): Super super super - Tutto, la casa è grande x 5 adulti , due bagni ultra comodi, ottima posizionata. Super vista Niente . Leggermente si sente il traffico della strada sottostante a finestre aperte .
- Laurent (9/5): -
- Sergei (10/5): Отлично - Отличное местоположение. Все чисто, большой комнате шумно с улицы, но терпимо, маленькая комната для сна прекрасна. Не очень удобное заселение однозначно, дистанционно, но связи у квартиры не было:( Объективно - квартира по соотношению цена качество идеальна, остальное ерунда.
- Susan (8/5): Great location, funky decors, awesome gelato and crepes downstairs - The location was fantastic for our purpose, visiting the Vatican City. There was a miscommunication re when and how the access to the apt would be delivered. Once cleared, it was all smooth sailing.
- Marcello (9/5): - Tutto davvero Un filo rumorosa la strada sotto di notte
- Radosław (10/5): Pobyt był bardzo udany - świetna lokalizacja, bardzo przestrzenny apartament
- Donatella (7/5): Posizione eccellente - La posizione La seconda camera,troppo stretta
- Magdalena (10/5): -
- Sercan (9/5): - The owner was very helpful. He answered our questions promptly. The house is exceptionally clean. Entering was easy because the owner sent us a manual code. Also, a janitor was waiting for us at the entrance.
The location of the property is fantastic. Vatican is right next to the house. It's close to the train station and bus stops. You can also use public transportation to get to the city center, but it's also within walking distance for those who enjoy walking like us. We would have had difficulty accessing the home by using the app (Vikey). We didn't know how to use the app. There's room for improvement. Information can be provided on how to use my app. I recommend visitors to request the manual code.
- Albert (10/5): -
- Tamara (9/5): We had a wonderful stay -
- Annamaria (6/5): - Non è stato difficile l’accesso il portiere del palazzo e’ stato raggiungibile fuori orario e collaborativo Il secondo bagno non era funzionale
- Bianca (9/5): Lovely stay, beautiful appartment, excellent location - Excellent location and beautiful appartment The one room with the spare double bed (fold out couch) was very crammed and the mattress not comfortable
- Krisztina (10/5): - Minden szuper volt! Az utcai zajtól hangos volt.
- Diana Carolina (9/5): -
- Miriam (10/5): -
- Cäcilia (10/5): - Unkompliziert eine sehr schöne Wohnung mit sehr guter Lage
- Vahe (7/5): Норм - Понравилось почти все! Место- прямо у Ватикана- отлично. Подъезд чистый, лифт чистый, сама квартира чистая и гармоничная в своем интерьере.
Продуманно много мелочей: на кухне, в душевых и в комнатах. Хозяин быстро отвечал. Были кофе капсулы и кофемашина. Только 1 день было холодновато. Но хозяин дистанционно включил его.
- nirwi (9/5): - Good location and perfect Nothing
- Giulia (10/5): Per quanto Roma sia caotica il soggiorno presso questa struttura è stato molto rilassante - La struttura è tenuta benissimo, dotata di ogni confort, pulita e in una posizione super per la città del Vaticano e per arrivare con la metro facilmente ovunque a Roma. Sinceramente nulla. È stato tutto super
- Zanetti (8/5): - Appartamento accogliente e spaziosissimo in zona strategica
- Sean (10/5): -
- Chai Leng Ines (10/5): A home away from home. - No keys required It would be good to let us know how many turns it require to open the door, took us some trials to get it opened.
- Benjamin (10/5): Wonderful visit to Vatican City - Fantastic location! Modern unlocking system was OK
- GIANCARLO (7/5): -
- mansukh (10/5): Absolutely Outstanding Stay in Rome - This apartment was unbelievable — huge, elegant, and positioned directly across from the Vatican wall with a jaw-dropping view of St. Peter’s Basilica’s dome. Waking up to that view felt unreal. The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The location couldn’t be better for exploring Rome. The host was warm, responsive, and made everything effortless. Truly one of the most memorable stays I’ve ever had — I’d return in a heartbeat. None
- Sechi (10/5): -
- Valerie (9/5): - L'emplacement et l'appartement. Le jour d'arrivée, impossible de joindre qqn pour nous ouvrir à l'entrée de l'immeuble malgré les info données.
- Julito (10/5): - Beautiful apartment and perfect location so near the Vatican that we could walk easily to go to the churches and St. Peter's Basilica. Nice restaurants just beside the apartment. Host was most flexible to allow us to leave our luggage even before check-in so we could visit the Vatican without any baggages. Excellent communications with host. Nothing.
- GILLIAN (9/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): Excelente - Precioso y muy cómodo, calentito y muy limpio
- Jenny Karl (10/5): -
- Britta (10/5): Overall, a great experience and we would definitely stay here again. - The apartment was exactly as described — spacious, clean, and well equipped.
The location was fantastic, right next to the Vatican City — on the 5th floor (with an elevator), in a lively area with the best gelato shop right outside the building! Access was very easy and convenient with the electronic key system.
- TravelSoul245 (10/5): - Excelente ubicación a sólo 10 min andando de la Plaza San Pedro. El apartamento está muy bien equipado con electrodomésticos y utensilios de cocina. El encargado nos permitió entrar 2 horas antes y esto nos facilitó muchísimo la tarde.
- Ivano (10/5): Fantastico soggiorno fuori le Mura Vaticane - L'appartamento é grande e spazioso, puó ricevere comodamente 5 persone, la posizione é meravigliosa, appena fuori le mura vaticane e dalla finestra si vede la Cupola di San Pietro.
Lo consigli a tutti quelli che vogliono visitare San Pietro e i Musei Vaticani. Assolutamente nulla
- Natacha (9/5): - L'emplacement, bon bistro,métro pas loin Le seul b mol les fenêtres côtés route ne ferme pas bien on entend bien la route
- janet (10/5): Wonderful spot for family vacation. - The location was wonderful. The apartment is spacious and well appointed.
All questions were answered promptly. The front bedroom was a bit noisy with street traffic but earplugs solved that issue.
- Anne (8/5): - Great location, very clean Old fashion decor
- christian (10/5): El mejor lugar de Roma. - Todo. Uno de los mejores lugares donde he estado. Perfectamente decorado y muy equipado. Un lujo de habitaciones y la mejor ubicación. Volvería cien veces a este hermoso lugar en Roma. Todo fue perfecto.
- Peggy Zeman (10/5): Clean comfy and safe apartment in Rome near Vatican - Secure and safe location close to the Vatican. Quiet with solid windows and shutters. Air conditioning was wonderful. Big shower and awesome shower head and pressure. Plenty of coffee pods and TP for the four of us for our stay. Those are important items for travelers. Not every place provides enough. Beds comfy and great pillows. The hosts made every effort to make their place welcoming and provided all the essentials. Even had a wash machine but we didn't need it. That's a huge perk if you're looking for that. Loved our stay.
- Patrick (7/5): - The noise from the road makes the front bedroom very bad for sleeping.
- Caroline (10/5): Excellent stay, wonderful place I will recommend for everyone to stay when in Rome near The Vatican and walking distance - Everything is magnificent, very clean supplies well provided, immaculately clean place, linens and towels are more than enough , very comfortable and very spacious. Feels like home. Nothing to fault with
- Maria Clelia (9/5): -
- Naomi (9/5): Great place and location. - Location and all amenities. Thanks for having umbrellas handy and shopping bags to use Would like a dryer and add extra toilet paper supplies please.
- Erika Antonieta (10/5): - Tutto, il appartamento pulito, la ubicazione excelente, il portinaio molto amabile.
Tornerò, grazie
- Ian (10/5): -
- Daqian (10/5): - 位置极佳,就在梵蒂冈博物馆对面,去圣彼得很方便,步行去天使堡和许愿池也很方便。 有一个浴室的水压很低,用起来不方便
- simona (7/5): - La posizione è ottima, con una vista spettacolare. Facile muoversi Casa in po' datata , sarebbe da rivedere, soprattutto la cucina...
- Kandalingam (9/5): C’était très bien. - C’était bien , la maison était proche des lieux touristiques et l’endroit était très chaleureux. Ce que je n’ai pas aimé, c’est qu’on ne pouvait pas fermer la porte de la salle de bain à clé.
- gaelle (9/5): Super! - L’emplacement
La taille Rien
- Alessio (10/5): Perfetto - La posizionè strategica: è alle porte del Vaticano (dalla finestra si vede il cupolone) ed è vicino alla fermata della metto Ottaviano perfetta per raggiungere il centro della città e visitare i principali monumenti.
Il palazzo dove è situato l’appartamanto è un condominio ben curato. L’appartamento è stato eccezionale, pulito e fornito di tutto il necessario per soggiornare e cucinare in autonomia.
- Dorota (10/5): Fantastyczny - To już trzeci pobyt w Catherine 's home. To moje ulubione miejsce w Rzymie.
- Christine (10/5): Loved this apartment. - 5 minute walk to the gate to the Vatican, very central to restaurants.
Apartment was very clean and spacious .
- Louise (9/5): Unique, spacious, clean and comfortable. Wonderful location. - Very clean, very charming, great location. The check in process was cumbersome.
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- Ching (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dannie (9/5): I would definitely consider staying here a second time as the closeness to the Vatican was key for my group - Everything was as described on Booking.com good location plenty of room Noise from street level although unavoidable the window shades could’ve done a better job blocking out the noise
- Caroline (10/5): Wonderful stay meters away from the Vatican wall Easy access to all amenities and apartment was very well appointed - Amazing location directly across from the Vatican wall. Apartment was very clean, close to everything. Hostess was very attentive. Would recommend highly for two couples or family. We cannot say enough about this apartment. Everything was exceptional
- Diede (5/5): Passable - Great location, next to Vatican. Very spacious apartment. Nice bakeries, restaurants, supermarkets nearby. The apartment was not very clean to say the least. We didn't even want to use the showers, especially the showerheads were pretty gross and black stained. The coffeemachine had things floating in the water reservoir. The whole place could use a good cleaning..
- Mainak (10/5): Exceptional - It's a great location. Just a few minutes from the Basilica. In fact you can see the dome from the windows and can take some amazing night time photos which my wife loved.
The whole apartment, especially the master bedroom is very tastefully designed and exudes elegance. Has its own walk in closet as well with.
Both bedrooms have dedicated washrooms.
More than enough couching places. It has two dedicated beds and additional couches to let more than four sleep in. Both bedrooms have air conditioning. The beds were on the softer side, for someone who prefers harder bedding to avoid back pain, there could have been at least a single couch if not a full bed with a bit harder/orthopaedic support. But still this is more of a personal gripe than anything particular about the property.
- Julie-ann (9/5): Amazing location and a stunning apartment. - What a perfect location. Right across the road from the Vatican with nice bars and restaurants close by and easy access to other parts of Rome thanks to the buses and tram. It was such a beautiful apartment too. Nothing! It was all so wonderful.
- Martyn (9/5): Very comfortable and convenient stay. - Catherine’s house has it all. Very close to the Vatican, very private and comfortable for different family profiles. A very comfortable double bed , 2 bathrooms and twin room . There is versatility with single beds in a small anti room . The apartment is served by a very quick lift to the 5th floor. The kitchen is very well equipped with all things required for self catering.
The flat is very close to the Ottovania Metro station that takes you to the centre of town or many of the famous sites. A recommendation would be to try the restaurants on the street below, they are all well priced.
- Lizbeth (10/5): Exceptional -
- Xiaoxiao (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tiffani (8/5): As expected - Voly worked like a charm. This place was very cozy and comfortable for 3-6 persons. Nothing.
- Cavit (8/5): Very good -
- Blanka (10/5): Great accommodation next to Vatican walls - Amazing accommodation very close to the city of Vatican, and all the shops and restaurants around. After on-line check-in, you receive access to the automatic opening of the apartment. The apartment is really big-more than enough for group of 6. Two bathrooms are included. Everything was clean. There is an ice-cream parlour next to the entrance. We were really lucky to get this place. Nothing to complain about.
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Everything you need is in the apartment. The location is great. Comfortable beds. I'm very happy with the stay. Highly recommend .
- Joygai (9/5): It was a wonderful experience in a traditional Roma home. I adored the design, and the location was - superb location!
- Savannah (8/5): Very good -
- Karen (10/5): Perfect stay in Rome. Would love to return. - What a location! Directly opposite the Vatican and close to all shops, but high enough not to be affected by the noise and with added security. The house has been decorated in a classic style, with beautiful finishing touches that complete the look. It had all we needed. Nothing.
- Beth (10/5): Will be back again - Like the space ate all meals out Nothing
- Derk (9/5): Superb - Opposite Vatican, perfect for visiting Rome
- Lucas (10/5): Great stay in the Vatican - Very beautiful apartment in a very good location None
- Grant (9/5): Superb -
- Cheryl (8/5): Very good -
- Catherine (9/5): Practically perfect in every way! - Loved the charm and the character….and the view! Loved the neighbourhood, what a great area to shop and explore on an evening after sightseeing! Felt very comfortable and welcoming. Lots of thoughtful touches from hairdryers to shampoo and even coffee pods.
We had a bumpy start to our Rome visit and really appreciated the phone call from Gian to reassure us about the key access.
The Nutella ice cream from the geletaria on the ground floor is amazing! Rome was very warm while we were there and we struggled to get the apartment to cool down. This wasn’t a massive issue though and the owners had provided fans.
- Helene (9/5): Superb - Great location, n’épargne all activites. Appartment central with all equipments
- Chittaranjan (9/5): Amazing property in Rome - The location is amazing and excellent to visit Vatican. There are several restaurants within walking distance and it is easy to access other tourist places in Rome. We were a family of 6 with one kid and had a great time at Catherine's Home. I do recommend this place for your stay in Rome. None
- Agne (10/5): Great apartment with the history and nice view. Very good value for money - Very unique apartment - spacious, with many interesting furniture, paintings and interior details (not boring apartment renovated just for rent). There are 2 bathrooms, you can find anything you need for cooking, ironing, etc. Very good location - you can see Vatican through the window and there is gelatto shop just at main entrance. Very good coffee just on the corner. Metro stop is in walking distance. Price for large apartment in such location is super good. View to Vatican means that there is view to the street, so it gets a bit noisy in the morning. Apartment gets hot, but there is AC, we just did not test it.
- Diana (8/5): Great location. Could not have been any closer to Vatican City. Right next to best gelato in Rome - Key to front door of building was given directly to me and code for apartment door was emailed. Good didn't work but owner remotely opened door. Was able to open with app thru phone. Would have been good for room mates to also open the door. We had to stay together in order to get back into apartment Only one person could open front door
- Crystal (8/5): Good value , good location, lots of room ! - Great location Beds were hard
- Anita (10/5): Great , lovely apartment, excellent location. - No breakfast
Excellent location
- Derek (8/5): Very good -
- Jennie (9/5): Superb -
- Pauline (10/5): Travelled with husband and 2 friends, The appointment was everything and more that we needed , So convenient to everythi - The location Loved everything about property
