About this property

Cozy Charming Quiet Studio a few meters from Villa Borghese - a/C, Wifi, TV SaT

Nestled in the residential Parioli-Salario district, (Gaetano's) Nino's house is located in the heart of Rome, just a few steps away from the tranquility of Villa Borghese, one of the largest landscaped gardens in Rome, and from Via Veneto, probably the most famous, elegant and trendy street in Rome.

On the first floor of a beautiful historic building at via Basento 55, a quiet and elegant street, the apartment overlooks the blooming inner courtyard, and thanks to the double-glazed windows, it is a perfect choice for those seeking a relaxing holiday in The Eternal City, without giving up a central location.

Recently renovated, Nino’s House is divided into 2 levels: on the lower level, a large and bright living area furnished with a comfortable sofa bed (perfect for 1 adult or for 2 children), a dining table for 4 people, and a TV.

A beautiful staircase leads to the large mezzanine level which has a double bed and a spacious wardrobe. A personal computer is available for our guests. Both the living and the sleeping area are enlightened by 2 large windows.

A modern kitchen, fully equipped with oven, microwave, washing machine, etc. and bathroom with shower complete this spotless apartment in Rome.

Nino’s House is tastefully furnished with both tiled and parquetry floor, and it is absolutely perfect for a couple looking for a romantic week-end in Rome or for a small family: it can sleep up to 3/4 people.

Fully equipped with heating and air conditioning, WiFi Internet connection, personal computer, direct dial telephone (calls throughout Italy included in price), hair dryer, iron and ironing board and full size fridge.


The area around the apartment is full of many typical Italian restaurants, a department store, as well as numerous shops.

Great place to stay!

Nino—what can I say? We had a GREAT experience at your place and enjoyed all the recommendations you gave us. You are a great host and we really enjoyed our time in Rome and seeing your beautiful city! We are exhausted, but feel like we saw a lot of your great city while there! Thanks so much! We would definitely recommend this place! Nino is a hidden gem and helped make our stay better!

Beautiful Escape in a Busy City

If you are coming to Rome, this should be your first choice. Everything about the stay was great. Location is just outside the busiest parts of the city which helps it remain peaceful. Everything you want is a nice walk or a short bus ride away. The host Gaetano, is what makes the stay magical. Try all the food he recommends, especially the gelato! Plus he helped to arrange transport and made our stay especially pleasant. In a busy city, this cozy rental is an oasis of relaxation. Highly encourage you to consider it.

Beautiful apartment in a very safe area, wonderful host!

My husband and I rented Nino's apartment for a week. I can't say enough about it . Nino is very personable and speaks many languages. He showed us around the area, where to get the tram, bus, etc. The apartment is within a block of all transportation to see the major sites. To get the best review, to which I agree 100%, read what Daniel M has to say about it.

We enjoyed our stay in Rome!

We enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. Our host was very gracious and kind. It was a very secure apartment in a lovely part of Rome. It was about a 1/2 hour walk to the Spanish Steps and about a ten minute walk to the Borghese Gallery. Once we learned the bus schedules getting around was easy. In the immediate neighbourhood there are excellent restaurants and gelato, markets, etc. Nino was very informative and gave us lots of very good recommendations. The apartment was equipped well with everything you need.

Nino’s House - Authentic Taste of Rome

Since we had never visited Rome, we wanted to experience the life as a native. From the beginning stages of planning our week stay, Nino acted as our unofficial guide. The apartment looked exactly like the picture depicted. It is located in a safe area, close to the tram and bus. Nino mapped out our destinations and transportation routes, and we had no problem navigating around Rome. Staying at Nino’s House was our best decision ever; we got an authentic taste of the “Eternal City” and experienced the culture and warmth of the people.

A perfect place to stay while enjoying your visit to Rome

For our first visit to Rome, my wife and I wanted to stay in a quintessentially Roman studio in a location that, while accessible to the points of interest, was not itself a tourist area. This apartment was the perfect answer. Located in a magnificent building in the IV Quartiere, it is within walking distance of the Villa Borghese, with its extensive gardens and not-to-be-missed museum, the Spanish steps, and the Quartiere Coppede, an area of beautiful architecture. The studio itself is ideal for a single traveller or couple. A large sitting/dining area, brightly lit with 2 metre high windows, looks out to a courtyard with flowers and hibiscus trees. The fully-appointed kitchen allowed us to prepare anything from a cup of espresso coffee to a full evening meal, and the loft bedroom was equipped with ample closet space and a very comfortable bed. Our host Nino has spent his life in the Quartiere, and he showed his encyclopaedic knowledge of his city as he took us on a walking tour of the neighbourhood on our arrival, pointing out the bus and metro stops, street market, restaurants, bank machines, and various shops where we would find the best that Rome has to offer, greeting every second passerby and shopkeeper by name. His attention to our questions and needs was given with a smile and another interesting anecdote. He was the perfect host.

Nino's House

We had a fantastic stay in Rome. Nino is an amazing host. He arranged a driver for us from the airport. He met us when we arrived and gave a thorough tour of the apartment. After that he even took us around the neighborhood to show us some local restaurants, and even how to use the bus and tram system. The Apt, was very clean and even included a small gift bag from Nino. He was always available when we needed him. When it was time to leave he even called us a taxi for the train station. The stay would not have been the same without Nino and his humor & caring. We enjoyed multiple conversations. He loves his Roma, so be forewarned if you are only staying 3 days. "You can't see my city in 3 days"!! Haha. Nino was very willing to share interesting facts about his city. We learned a lot from him. He tried to keep conversations minimal because his daughter says he talks too much to his guests. We enjoyed the conversations so much and could have sat with him for hours. If we are blessed to return back to Rome we will definitely request a stay in Nino's house. Thank you Nino for being such a wonderful man. PS - Jane's Dad also says you look like him. Tony & Jane.

Well-eqipped apartment with friendly and helpful host. Plenty of space for three adults. Neighborhood is great with lots of shops and good restaurants. Be prepared to walk to sights and take the bus, which is pretty easy to figure out. Nino is helpful and kind—be sure to take his advice and area recommendations.

Thank you for the lovely stay

Nino is a great host who looks after you and provides you with good tips. He also organises a taxi to and from the airport. The location of the flat is great, in a nice neighbourhood. It takes half an hour by bus to get to most of the sights. The flat is very nice in its old-fashioned way, everything you need is there. The upper mezzanine floor is only 1.75 metres high, so if you're taller you have to duck down, but that's not really a problem.

A quiet home base to see Rome from

This was a great apartment and Nino was a wonderful host. The rental is not too far from many of the sites you will want to visit, but also far away from the hustle and bustle of the city center to get a sense of what day-to-day Rome life is like. Nino was an attentive host with excellent recommendations. We added The Borghese to our itinerary based on his suggestion and we’re glad we did. His gelato recommendation was the best we had our entire time in Italy. He replied quickly to my texts if we had a question. The unit is quiet and comfortable with in-room laundry, which was a real lifesaver, if say, all your luggage doesn’t arrive in Rome with you. We found most of the sites we wanted to go to were up to a 30 - 45 minute walk, which was great for us and a way to see a ton of Rome. We probably walked about 10 miles a day. If we had an early morning activity or were tired at the end of a long day, we took a taxi (€15-20) instead of walking. We did that three times, but the fair rental price of this unit allows for a few cab rides. We had a wonderful visit in Rome and would stay here again.

Excellent place to see Rome and enjoy the local scene

Location is conveniently close to major tourist sites via bus/metro and even walking. Villa Borghese nearby is another plus. Neighborhood is charming and includes some amazing architecture. Apartment accommodations were as described and especially great for longer stays or for those who want to do some of their own cooking and laundry. Clean and in good condition with only potential drawback being the low ceiling in the bedroom loft (if you’re fairly tall, but not really an issue if you’re laying down, right?) The Landlord, “Nino”, is extremely kind and engaging. He speaks English well, gave us a tour of the neighborhood, provided his best recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants, and even played some ping pong with us! (at a local games venue). Great price, and we would have gladly paid more. We will definitely try to book again next time in Rome. Thanks Nino!

Quiet gem

Staying at Nino’s place was the ideal way for us to experience Rome. The apartment is in a quiet, very safe neighbourhood with little stores, restaurants and cafés all a block or two away; it is also a 15-minute walk to the Borghese Museum, which is very convenient. The apartment itself is on the first floor (second floor in American usage), and there is an elevator, so overall it’s good for anyone with limited mobility (there are about 7 steps up after you enter the outside door). Big windows that you can open, plenty of light, very clean. Mr. Piletti is very friendly and accommodating and was completely on top of anything we needed or asked, including arranging transportation to and from the airport, and he is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese in addition to Italian and English. We had a great stay there, and both of us would definitely stay there again, including my friend who used to live in Rome and knows it very well. 2 thumbs up!

What an exquisite experience!

This is our first visit to Rome and Nino made it feel like being home. We were close to everything, restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, etc.. very convenient location. Nino met us the first day and gave us lots of information and map about where to go and what to do. He checked on us in a regular basis. In a matter of fact, one night my wife wanted to eat Lasagna, we didn’t know where to go. So I called Nino, within less than 10 minutes he contacted us back to let us know where to go. N.B.: My wife loved the lasagna...:) Nino helped us to stay like Romans rather than tourists. Amazing experience not only because we stayed at his property but because we have another place that we can call it second home. We will definitely return back to Rome and will definitely return to our second home “Nino’s place”.

Schöne Wohnung in guter Lage

Ich hatte die Wohnung für eine Dienstreise gebucht. Sie ist gut per ÖPNV zu erreichen und liegt ruhig in einer Seitenstraße. Der Vermieter hatte mich schon vorab mit allen Informationen zu Sehenwürdigkeiten versorgt, die ich leider nicht besuchen konnte. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich und es gab viele Informationen zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und sehenswertem. Die Wohnung war sauber und komplett eingerichtet und ist für 1-2 Peronen sehr zu empfehlen. Die Zwischendecke mit dem Bett ist jedoch nur ca 1.75cm hoch, d.h. ich musste etwas den Kopf einziehen um ins Bett zu kommen.

Great apartment near transit

From the beginning the communication was fantastic as well as check in. Nino spent a lot of time introducing us to the area including walking us to the bus stops and explaining how the transit system worked. He booked our reservation for dinner the 1st night as well. Each day he check in asking how our day was and if we needed any suggested or had any questions. The apartment was very clean and organized. The building has an elevator which was fantastic for our luggage going up to the 2nd floor. The only downside is that the loft area where the bed is has a low ceiling so if you are on the taller side you just need to not jump out of bed. Besides that, which did not really effect our stay, I would rent here again.

Nino’s house is perfect!

Nino was the perfect host and his apartment is perfect to! He gave us a tour of his cozy place and made dinner reservations for us on our first night in Rome. The place is quite comfortable, with everything you need, like coffee and a coffee pot. The stove works well. The shower has nice hot water. The bed is comfy, I found an extra pillow in the cupboard. Nino explained the public transportation to us. His apartment is conveniently located with access to 2 different, convent bus lines to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and the tram to the Vatican is very close too. Nino recommended a small, local place a half a block away where we had our Roman breakfast (croissant and cappuccino) and quick lunch (panini and Prosecco). Near by are 2 very convenient bus lines, the tram, tabaccherias (tobacco shops where you may purchase transit tickets), and tasty restaurants. Nino’s house has great WiFi, hot water, comfy bed, great location, and a thoughtful host. His apartment looks beautiful AND is comfortable. As I travel around Italy and stay in different places, I realize even more what a joy it was to have Nino as a host. His place is both charming and practical. He arranged a car to pick us up at the airport for a reasonable price, which we were grateful for since it was raining and I had never been to Rome before. He suggested we go to the Borghese Gallery, which you can walk to, and it was well worth it and not on my list before Nino suggested it. I highly recommend staying at Nino’s house and I hope to return myself!

Nino is the best

The landlord Nino is a delight! Not only is he charming and welcoming; he is an inexhaustible source of good information. Moments after we arrived at the apartment (he lives right next door), he sat down with a map and marked all the places he thought we should visit. Among the many great places he recommended were a couple of excellent restaurants and an amazing ice cream shop! The apartment was clean and efficient. Only one problem, and it you're over 5 feet, 8 inches tall, it's a Major Problem. The upstairs bedroom will not accommodate anyone over 5' 8". I'm 5' 10", and I bumped my head every time I got out of bed or walked up the stairs to the bedroom. Otherwise this is a great apartment in a great neighborhood with a great price. And of course there is Nino.

I am more than satisfied with my choice of the vacation rental

There are a couple of things I would like to mention at the beginning of my review. There is no metro station within a walking distance. A bedroom is located upstairs in the lofted area with a low ceiling 5’8 /173 cm. Gaetano, the owner of this apartment, responded to my inquiry almost immediately. A month before my arrival Gaetano asked about my plans in Rome and gave me some good tips that I am really thankful for. A couple of weeks before my arrival he sent me detailed message how to get to the appointment. Nino, a very nice gentleman, met me upon arrival, took time explaining where to shop for food, where to go for best ice cream, where to dine, how to get to the main attractions by local transportation. Bus stop is less than 5 min walk from an apartment. I took Nino’s advice and did my shopping at “ Doc “ market (10-15min walk). I loved variety of fresh fruit, veggies, cheese, meats and freshly baked breads. I also had a dinner at the suggested restaurant with locals. Apartment is clean, equipped with all necessary stuff, the bed is very very comfortable. Soundproof is not the best, but it gets quite at 9:30, must be a bedtime for neighbors children. I am more than satisfied with my choice of the vacation rental.
