About this property

Domus Gelsomino, Rome, Vatican, St. Peter's Square

Domus Gelsomino is equipped with all comforts.
In moments of relaxation you can entertain yourself by reading books, or playing the many board games, or enjoying the game of target shooting.
Furthermore, the house is equipped with a piano, a guitar and a smart TV with free Prime Video.
The bathroom, covered with Valentino tiles, looks like a cave, it is very particular.
The bathroom towels are terry and the bed sheets are 100% ITALIAN cotton.
Another highlight of the house is the bedroom: built in old Rome in the 1800s, by a carpenter from Borgo Pio for a noble Roman family.
All completely inlaid with rural scenes in relief. Both the bed and the bedside tables are made... as they were once made... without any nails... the bedside tables have a green marble plate. Obviously the room is equipped with a TV.
The kitchenette consists of a built-in kitchen, with all the pans and utensils for cooking.
The living room has a double sofa with a smart TV with free Prime Video.
Finally, the house has a large corridor where the guitar and the piano are located.
The house is very beautiful, very particular, characteristic and unique in its kind.
It is equipped with free wi fi.
The house is located in a quiet life, with free parking, but also equipped with 2 paid parking lots, one step away from everything: shops, bars, taxis, trains, buses, metro, rent a car and bike. As you exit Via del Gelsomino you have the Dome of St. Peter before your eyes.

We loved this place-so full of character. We were only here for 1night. We enjoyed the piano, a game of checkers and some darts! It was very clean and had plenty of space to relax. And the ristorante next door was the best!

A lovely apartment with a great host

Luisa's apartment was perfect for our stay. Close to St. Peter's, a six minute walk to the subway, shopping and restaurants within two blocks of the restaurant. Luisa is a very responsive host; she replied to our messages right away and had terrific information about the neighborhood and things to do in Rome.
