The host is a gem. Very kind and considerate and thoughtful and communicative and full of tips to explore the city.

Alessandra is a wonderful host. She's very friendly, very helpful, and an extraordinarily good person. It's a privilege to know her. Frankly, once you get to know her, nothing negative stands out.

The location, the cleanliness of the property and its convenience to nearby restaurants and some shops.

Great Host - obviously very experienced and able to answer our questions. Had some suggestions for restaurants that were great. If you want to visit the Vatican, the location is awesome.

There was absolutely nothing we would change, perfect.

Alessandra could not be friendlier and was extremely helpful and wonderful our whole stay. The rooms were clean and the location was perfect. We had such a lovely time at Beside the Vatican which is a perfect base if you are visiting Rome.

The trip to Rome was a celebration for my wife’s 60th birthday and what a fantastic time we had. Rome is our new favourite, well all of Italy really lol Can’t wait to go back.

My mom and her friend had an absolutely wonderful time here. The apartment was spotless, and the host couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful—she even ordered a taxi for them and gave detailed directions whenever they needed. Every morning, the smell of freshly baked croissants greeted them, which was a lovely personal touch. The place itself is very peaceful, with everything they needed on hand, and they especially enjoyed relaxing on the charming balcony. Lovely experience, amazing stay!

Alessandra's hospitality

The outside of the apartment is not the prettiest but once you get familiar with your surroundings then you are fine.

The outside of the building is not that pretty but the apartment on the inside is absolutely gorgeous! The hostess, Alessandra, is a beautiful lovely person who has pride in what she does. She makes you feel special and right at home in her spectacular Bed and Breakfast!!

Alessandra!

It’s close to St. Peter’s Basilica, but a bit far from the other attractions. There’s a bus stop nearby and personally we didn’t mind, but just something to consider.

Alessandra was the sweetest host, and prepared a lovely breakfast each morning. We truly enjoyed conversing with her. The place was comfortable and clean.

It’s a bit longer to the Vatican than 5 mins, but it’s a great quiet location nearby. It can be a bit tough to get to if you’re taking public transport and arn’t familiar with Rome yet.

Alessandra might be one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. She had fantastic recommendations and was so gracious to us when we needed advice or anything she could help with. If you’re looking for a warm welcome to Rome, Beside the Vatican is the place to find it.

The accommodation is wonderful and the location is excellent. The bus station is close to the accommodation and it is very easy to walk without using public transport. Breakfast is simple and it has everything on offer.

I would have liked a smart TV in the room so I could access a streaming app.

Accommodation is in a multi-room apartment, each with its own bathroom. Breakfast is served in the kitchen with other guests at the same table, an unusual but lovely experience. The breakfast was delicious. The host was welcoming and provided helpful details. We were given a free parking spot. The apartment's location is very practical, just a few minutes' walk to Piazza San Pietro, yet tucked away from the tourist area, making it peaceful. There's a restaurant with delicious food just a few meters away; in fact, everywhere we ate in this country, we had good food :) I highly recommend this experience.

Everything was perfect

Breakfast was pretty good. Alessandra was really nice and she made our stayed very pleasant because she helped us with addresses of sites and guide us with transportation.

Everything was as described or even better. Extremely clean, comfortable and everything was much better than we expected. We also got the taxi booked for us from and to the airport, which was waiting for us as promised, and again great communication. We cannot find anything to complain about.

Very clean, extremely convenient location, much more quieter area than the historical part of the city but still close to everywhere, with local shops, bars and restaurants of many choices Very safe too. We felt totally at home.
