A private apartment in a 1913 villa, opposite the Vatican walls
The walls of this villa have sheltered many lives: the Russian countess Frankenstein, a German general, then a Montessori nursery school full of voices and games. In 1993 our parents fell in love with it and restored it with care and respect.
Today we open part of it to guests: a ground-floor apartment with its own courtyard, a five-minute walk from the Vatican Museums.
85 square metres on the ground floor, with a private entrance. Two double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, a living room with a table for six, the kitchen and the courtyard. Up to six guests.
The front door opens onto a large room: the sofa bed and a big TV, the antique wooden wardrobe, the dining table for six. Niches with small objects and warm light in the evening.

A 160×190 double bed with a deep mattress, an antique chest of drawers and a TV. From the bedroom you walk into the walk-in wardrobe, with its antique writing desk, and from there into the private bathroom with shower.

Breakfast outdoors, a glass in the evening after a day walking around Rome. The courtyard is yours alone: it opens from the kitchen, with a table and a parasol.
A pink house among oleanders, palms and bougainvillea, on the avenue that runs along the Vatican walls.

«Emanuela è un'ottima host, sempre disponibile. Vicinissimo ai Musei Vaticani, pur essendo in una zona tranquilla.»

The Vatican walls are right opposite the house. From here Rome is best discovered on foot: the Museums are five minutes away, St Peter's a quarter of an hour.
