AMAZING!!

This is by far one of our favorite properties anywhere. There is nothing like looking out your window and seeing St. Peters Basilica. We are planning on returning in a few years but if you are thinking about going to Rome during the Jubilee, this IS the place to stay!

Excellent accommodations in every respect

The apartment was very spacious, private and extremely well appointed and comfortable. Facilities were modern, immaculate and functioned well, and appeared as in the photos. The layout offers privacy for more than one couple and Alessandra was a kind, helpful and attendant host. Communication was prompt and clear.

Our stay at the Vatican Little Dome was wonderful. The check-in process was convenient. The host, Alessandra, made us feel welcome and left many sweet treats for us to enjoy. The host came by the first evening to introduce herself, give a tutorial on how to operate appliances etc., and make sure we were comfortable.The apartment was clean. The bathrooms were spacious, and the showers had good water temperature and pressure. The kitchen was well stocked for our needs, with a coffee maker and microwave.The bedrooms were soundproof and provided a good night's rest. The Little Dome was conveniently located near many attractions. The Bakery House was directly across the street, making it easy for us to grab a croissant and a cup of coffee. I highly recommend this property should you find yourself planning a trip to Rome.

Perfect Stay

Five stars are not enough. This was our ninth trip to Rome and we have always had good accomodations but Little Dome was more than we dreamed of. Immaculately clean! Comfortable. Well furnished and accented. Our hostess was ready to provide a fast response to our every need and left fresh fruit, milk, crackers and wine as well as a freshly baked tart. Easy walk to shopping, restaurants and sites such as St. Peters. A block from a taxi rank. Great views and quiet building. You can't find better!!!!

Incredibly Comfortable, The Most Gracious Host!

WOW! that's all I can start with. We were greeted at the building and from beginning to end the owner was gracious, available via email and full of great information. The apartment is fully furnished with everything you will need for a very comfortable and perfect visit to Rome. The neighborhood is filled with cafes, shops, stores anything and everything you might need. I loved it and would highly recommend it to any one looking for a place to stay near The Vatican. Public transportation and airport transfers, literally ac ross the street or at the front door!!

Wonderful!!

We stayed at the little Dome during July and were so happy with our stay! The apartment is just as described and as pictured. It had everything we needed to make our stay extremely comfortable. The property manager Alessandra was there to greet us upon arrival, and showed us around the apartment, giving us all of the details. She went above and beyond by leaving us snacks and drinks to get us started! Not only was the apartment comfortable, but the air conditioning worked wonderfully during the hot summer days. The location was perfect and so close to many restaurants and shops and a taxi pickup line, not to mention how close it is to the Vatican! We would highly recommend staying at the little dome, and we hope to be back again in the future.

Little Dome Vacation

The Little Dome apartment was perfect. Alessandra did an excellent job of helping us both before our trip and while we were in Rome. She responded immediately to all our questions and was very pleasant and professional. Our vacation was perfect and I highly recommend the property and give Alessandra the highest rating possible as our hostess. Kind regards, Kay Lawless

Location, Locations, Location!!!!

This spacious apartment is located in the center of town with short walks to the Vatican Museum and St. Peter's Square. It is very well maintained and most importantly, clean. There are restaurants and shopping surrounding the apartment. Alessandra is a wonderful host!!!! She answered my many questions prior to our arrival and was readily available during our stay. She had a map of the historical monuments and recommendations of her favorite restaurants. I booked this apartment 8 months in advance and mentioned the trip was to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived, Alessandra had the kitchen stocked with pastries, sandwiches, fruit, water and a Birthday cake which was such a nice touch. I highly recommend this apartment and would most definitely stay there again.

This is the Perfect Home away from Home in Rome

I could write pages and pages about how wonderful our stay here was. First the apartment. It is a beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home, in really good condition. I loved the furniture and all of the amazing books. The huge bath tub was a real plus as you can soak in it after a busy day sightseeing, and then feel refreshed enough to head out to dinner. The beds are very comfy. It was quite cold when we were there and the heating was excellent. The washing machine works well, and although there is no dryer, getting things to dry was no problem. We placed our damp clothes on portable drying rack which we placed in the sunny living room when we went out sightseeing, and they were dry by the time we got home. Secondly the situation of the apartment is excellent. The Vatican Museum and St Peter's are a few blocks away, a bus stops right by the from door to the building, there is a subway stop a few blocks away, and a taxi rank a block away in a pretty square. There are 2 small supermarkets nearby - where you can buy fresh baked bread, pecorino cheese, olive oil and wine. What more do you need? There is a well stocked pharmacy on the square, and plenty of restaurants close by. The best part of the location is that you can see the dome of St Peter's from the living room! Finally, Allesandra is the best VRBO host that we have ever met. She arranged transport to and from the airport for us, on arrival there were sandwiches, pastries, and wine waiting for us. How thoughtful to feed us! She had also stocked the fridge, there was fruit, and all sorts of interesting goodies for breakfast. She is simply the best! I could go on and on about this apartment - but the bottom line is that it is great value, and a really great place to stay. We will be back!

Vatican Little Dome made our Rome stay memorable

Our group of two couples loved this beautiful, cozy, and clean apartment where we stayed for three nights. From the time we booked this place to the time we checked out, all expectations were met and even surpassed. Alessandra the owner was more than welcoming. She answered our questions promptly and provided all the amenities in the apartment for foreign travelers like us. She even arranged transportation for us to get to airport. We definitely recommend this place to stay in Rome.

Great apartment near the Vatican

We enjoyed our four night stay at this property. It has a small but very modern and well equipped kitchen and the rest of the apartment is very spacious and well decorated. It has an elevator for easy access and is walking distance from a Metro station and the Vatican. A number of small local supermarkets are also nearby. We'd have no hesitation in staying here again.

Beautifully appointed apartment close to the Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica.

Could not have been more impressed with the beautiful apartment, how well it was stocked for breakfast and the thoughtful gesture of supplying sandwiches and snacks for our arrival in the afternoon. Everything was spotless, with plenty of towels and extra linens. Our hostess Alessandra was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. Located near the Vatican and Basilica and a 10 minute walk from the metro. Would highly recommend this apartment for two couples, or a romantic getaway or friends visiting Rome and would certainly return again.

Beautiful apartment, fabulous location.

Vatican Little Dome is a perfect place to stay in Rome. It is exquisitely furnished including welcome snacks and chocolates, has a well stocked kitchen, and is 5 minutes from the Vatican and 10 minutes from Castel Sant Angelo. There is a square nearby and metro minutes away. Alessandra met us and gave us a tour of the apartment and helped us with arranging transportation to the airport at the end of our stay. She was wonderful.

Best location and great apartment

This apartment was a great location and made our stay in Rome wonderful. It is a few blocks from the Vatican, Metro station, local supermarket, and great restaurants. We were met at the apartment when we arrived late by train from Florence. Alessandra gave the tour of the apartment and even had some sandwiches for us to eat, she stocked the little refrigerator with some items to get us started on our stay in Rome. I would stay here the next time I come to Rome and recommend it to my friends and family. If you are arriving at the Rome airport, you can take the Bus Shuttle for $6 Euro and it will drop you on the same street the apartment is on. It takes 50 minutes from the airport but is the least expensive way. Otherwise you can take the Express train to Rome Termini and then switch to the Metro ( 6 stops till you get off ) and then 2 block walk to the apartment. This is a gem you should not miss if staying in Rome.

Superior place to stay

Without a doubt this is one of the most beautiful apartments one could have in Rome. Alessandra greeted us on time and could not have been more hospitable. She was helpful and genuinely interested in our having a wonderful experience in Rome. It was truly a pleasure to meet her and to know that she was only a phone call away should we need anything.The apartment feels like home as soon as you enter. It is beautifully appointed, most comfortable and in a perfect location to the Vatican and the historic center of Rome. I could not recommend it more highly and I could not be more grateful to Alessandra for all her many acts of kindness and thoughtfulness. This apartment is a real gem.
