Pigna is the name of rione IX of Rome, located in Municipio I of the city. The name means "pine cone" in Italian, and the symbol for the rione is the colossal bronze pine cone, the Pigna.
The giant bronze pine cone (Pigna) once decorated a fountain in Ancient Rome next to a vast Temple of Isis. There water flowed copiously from the top of the pinecone.
History

The Pigna was moved first to the Old Basilica of Saint Peter, where Dante saw it and employed it in the Divina Commedia as a simile for the giant proportions of the face of Nimrod.
In the 15th century it was moved to its current location, the upper end of Bramante's Cortile del Belvedere, which is now usually called in its honour the Cortile della Pigna, linking the Vatican and the Palazzo del Belvedere. There it stands today under Pirro Ligorio's vast niche at the far end, flanked by a pair of Roman bronze peacocks brought from Hadrian's mausoleum, the Castel Sant'Angelo.

The price includes:
Fitted sheets, towels, electricity and gas.

Perfect Spot for a Quick Stay in Rome

We stayed just one night and had a great experience. The apartment was clean, pretty, and exactly as described. The location was excellent—central and easy to access. The host was friendly and responsive, and check-in was simple. No complaints at all. Would definitely recommend for a short stay in the city!

3 days in Rome July 2025

Charming apartment perfectly located in the center of Rome. All major attractions within 20 minutes walking, most within 10 minutes. Taxi required for Vatican only (or a 40 minute walk). Host arranged our seamless transfer from airport and is quick to respond to all inquiries and very helpful. My family very much enjoyed our stay here.

The location of the site is amazing. Perfectly located close to many attractions, especially the Parthenon. Unfortunately, during our three night stay in July, the air conditioning did not work. While the host did try to address the issue while we were there, we ended up trying to sleep there for three very hot nights. Also, please note, even after you pay VRBO for the stay, there is still a city tax you will need to pay the host after your stay. Despite all this, my wife an I had a wonderful time visiting Rome.

A comfortable gem of an apartment just a short walk from major areas

Apartment is in an excellent location and has a huge deadbolt on the door to make you feel extra safe. There is a washing machine and drying rack too for small loads. The host communicates exceptionally well. Very easy process and we were very comfortable later at night walking around. There is a convenient store with food and dry goods 200 steps away which is a huge benefit for waters and snacks.I will absolutely stay again when we decide to revisit Rome!!!

Feel that photos need to be updated, obviously the photos were taken a very long time ago. The lounge was dirty and very uncomfortable. Said there was Netflix had to use your own login and it still wouldn’t connect. There was no hand soap at the basin and the only roll of toilet paper was the one on the toilet roll holder and we were there for 3 days. Was in a great location. We understand it’s a very old building, but didn’t live up to the photos at all. Maybe we were spoilt by the places we stayed in Naples and Sorrento.

This was our first time in Rome. Neri met us to take luggage to store until check in and directed us to a very nice restaurant steps away. The bed is comfortable and the Nespresso machine for morning espresso is a fun touch! The hosts were very communicative. A lovely stay in Roma!

Cozy apartment close to everything

We stayed one week. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked well in the bedroom as it was in the 90’s the week we were there. The apartment is a short walk to the Pantheon. There are several close grocery stores. We didn’t cook but had breakfast and wine and cheese in the apartment. The kitchen is in a cabinet so not too much room but fine for our needs. There are a lot of good restaurants nearby.

Serenity in the City

The Raffello Inn is a charmingly decorated apartment in the perfect location. We could easily walk to the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, St. Peter’s and Trvi Fountain. Our hostess Neri was very gracious and responsive to our needs. She arranged a driver to take us to the airport after 4 glorious days in a well-appointed , quiet air-conditioned apartment. I will definitely recommend to family and friends staying in Rome.

Great central location in Rome

The owners met us at the apartment and went through how all the appliances and everything in the apartment worked. Great personal touch and fantastic people. They checked up on us to make sure everything was okay with the apartment during our stay. The location is incredible! Centrally located with great restaurants just a short walk away. I would highly recommend the place and would be very happy to stay there again! Thanks Mariano and Neri!
