5+ Star Apartment in the Heart of Rome

Mary B.

This was the second time we have rented from Edoardo. He is the quintessential host - - very accommodating, kind, and helpful. A true gentleman. In 2019, we stayed for a week at Frezza with another couple. More recently, my husband and I stayed at Spagna for 8 days. Both apartments are in excellent locations and perfect in every way. Spagna's well lighted living room is attractively decorated with lots of comfortable seating and a flatscreen TV with Netflix and more. The kitchen has high end appliances and a wonderful Nespresso machine. We loved enjoying coffee every morning. While Edoardo leaves a nice selection to get you started, there is a Nespresso shop steps from the apartment and the coffee is less than half what we pay in the US. The bedrooms are nicely appointed with fabulous custom closets and more than ample drawer space. The two bathrooms are sparkling clean and up to date. You will feel right at home as the apartment is equipped with plenty of dishes, pots and pans, cooking utensils, a dishwasher, washer and dryer, drying rack, along with an iron and ironing board. Edoardo has thought of everything! Spagna's location is in a beautiful area of Rome, by the Spanish Steps and within walking distance to all the famous sites. Look no further! Just book Spagna, Frezza or Oca. You will not be disappointed. Show less Date of stay: October 2021

Beautiful apartment- just as pictured!

My family of 4 had a great stay in Edoardo's apartment. He met us at check-in which was perfectly smooth. The apartment is beautiful and exactly as pictured. We had trouble with the espresso machine the first morning and sent Edoardo a message- he responded immediately and "trouble-shot" the problem sending us photos of how to fix it. He was extremely responsive and even met us at check out to help with the bags and car that he had booked for us. We would all highly recommend this apartment- we walked everywhere from the central location. We did not have to take public transportation once. We also booked tours through the service he provides and our guide, Marta, made our trip to Rome. She was all-knowing and answered all of our (many) questions. She even followed up by email after our final tour after researching something that we had discussed that day. She's passionate and was wonderful with our 14 and 10 year olds. Their favorite part of Rome was the time spent with Marta. Don't hesitate to book through this service. All in all we would recommend to anyone- family, couples etc. Biggest bonus- a washer AND dryer in the apartment! We used it very frequently as the Rome stay was in the middle of our trip so we had a ton of laundry to do! We can't wait to come back and would absolutely book through Alta Luxury Apartments again in a heartbeat.

A wonderful, elegant apartment!

Splendid

We have rented apartments around the world for 30+ years and this one gets first prize in all categories. The location, a few blocks from the Spanish Steps, puts you within walking distance of most of Rome’s historic sites not to mention the finest restaurants and upscale shopping areas. We normally stay for a month or two so we look for places that have all the amenities for extended visits. This has all the bells and whistles from a gourmet equipped kitchen to large state of the art bathrooms. I was impressed that Eduardo had gone to the trouble to provide instruction in several languages on the operation of the various appliances; helpful hints; restaurant recommendation, etc. We spend a month or two in Rome every year or two and we will look no further as we have found the best located, best equipped and most comfortable spot. Eduardo showed us the other apartments they have available and they are all great.

A great vacation!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The apartment is just as pictured, clean, elegant, cozy and warm. It is tastefully decorated, and combines an old world charm with modern amenities. We are a family of four and my husband and two teenage sons had enough space to be comfortable. We loved the modern bathrooms and kitchen, which had a Nespresso machine and all the necessary cooking utensils. Edoardo suggested a grocery store nearby and there is also a small farmer’s market, so it was a pleasure to have breakfast around the dining table and cook dinner at home on some nights. The location was also great. It is walking distance to most tourist attractions, shopping and restaurants and if you need to, there is a taxi stand 5 minutes down the street. It is a busy neighborhood with one of the main shopping streets right around the corner, but the street itself is very quiet and the apartment does not get any street noise. Edoardo was an excellent host. He replied to all my emails within an hour, arranged for our transfers to and from the airport, booked us an extra cleaning, and gave many helpful suggestions for great neighborhood restaurants and covid testing. He even printed out the documents we needed for travel when I wrote to him late in the evening before our departure. Overall, we had a great experience, and would love to one day come back and stay at the same place.

Best experience ever

Mindy A.

We cannot stop talking about Edoardo and his Vrbo apartment. It truly is the best and only place you should stay at. The apartment is located in the heart of Rome with everything either walking distance or a short cab ride. The apartment itself is beyond beautiful! Talk about detail. It was a mix between cultural and luxury. Nothing was forgotten. The beds are so comfortable. My mother in law stated she felt like she was at home. I also cannot express how grateful we were for Edoardo. He truly is the best of the best! He set up our pick up from the train station as well as our drop off at the airport. He suggested restaurants that he has visited himself and they were all so delicious. He provided the closest grocery store as well. Due to the pandemic, we needed to get covid tested. He was able to assist us in the arrangements as well. If I could give this place and Edoardo a 10 stars I would!! We will be back and will only work with Edoardo! Thank you for the best experience ever!!

Fantastic Apartment and Location!!

Outstanding Property and Host!

Jonathan S.

We were happy to be among the first to stay in this residence after the COVID-19 pandemic. The apartment is outstanding! Clean, spacious, excellent air conditioning in all rooms, fantastic location, quiet at night, amazing shower. This was perfect for our group of six (three bedrooms, two bathrooms). I highly recommend this property! Eduoardo manages the property and does an outstanding job. Very quick communication before and during the trip. Extremely helpful with anything we needed (e.g., airport transfers, advice on restaurants, questions about the property). When there was a small problem with something in the apartment (which is natural because it had not been used during the pandemic), he came within an hour since he lives nearby. Eduoardo is the type of person who takes extreme pride in his job and is such a positive person.

Zentrale Wohnung für gehobene Ansprüche

Ulrich M.

Hier passt einfach alles zusammen: 1. Die Lage der Wohnung - 300 Meter von der Spanischen Treppe, 10 Gehminuten zum Trevibrunnen, 15 Minuten zum Pantheon und Piazza Navona, das Leben, die Bars, die Shops, alles ist da. Trotz dieser zentralen Lage ist es im Inneren der Wohnung wie in einer Oase ruhig, da sie zum Hinterhof liegt. Dennoch kommt durch die großen Fenster viel Luft herein, keine unangenehmen Gerüche, alles wunderbar. 2. Die Ausstattung Wunderbar römisch schön eingerichtet, Bett mit sehr guter Matratze. Beide Badezimmer sind sehr sauber und gut eingerichtet, die Küche hat Miele Geräte (z. B. ein eingebauter Miele- Nespressoautomat) und einen wunderschönen Granit. Das Wohnzimmer ist sehr gemütlich, man kann sich zwischen den Besichtigungen wunderbar erholen. Auch das kleinere Schlafzimmer ist ausreichend (wir waren mit unserer 16 jährigen Patentochter unterwegs, die das Zimmer sehr geschätzt hat). Die Wohnung liegt im dritten Stock eines herrschaftlichen Hauses mit hohen Stockwerken und hohen Räumen. Ein Aufzug ist vorhanden, der einwandfrei funktioniert. 3. Transport und Service Es empfiehlt sich, den von unserem Vermieter Eduardo angebotenen Flughafen-Transport dazuzubuchen. Dieser ist sehr pünktlich und kostet nur 10 Euro mehr als das normale Taxi. Es hat den Vorteil, dass sich der Fahrer mit Eduardo abspricht, und Eduardo bei Ankunft bereits vor der Tür steht, um einen zu empfangen. Genauso bei der Abfahrt. Eduardo kümmert sich um alles sehr freundlich, schnell und effektiv. Als die Kaffeemaschine eine kleine Funktionsstörung hatte, wurde diese innerhalb einer Stunde behoben. Eduardo gibt gute Tipps und ist jederzeit über Handy oder e-Mail erreichbar und antwortet sofort. Die Wohnung ist ihren Preis mit total wert, wenn man bedenkt, was ein kleines, vergleichbar gut ausgestattetes Hotelzimmer in Rom kostet, ist der Preis völlig in Ordnung - vor allen Dingen bekommt aber auch die entsprechende Gegenleistung dafür. Für uns also ein Volltreffer, eine absolute Weiterempfehlung.

Fantastic Apartment and Location, Even Better Host!

Steven M

The apartment is exactly as pictured — wonderfully comfortable and roomy, with very modern and beautiful kitchen, both rooms, and laundry. The location is perfect. Steps from the Piazza di Popolo, around the corner from a collection of reasonably priced and friendly restaurants. Just a few yards from the best gelato at Grachhi. And two block from a very well stocked mini market, and another block away from a full Carrefour supermarket. The nighborhood is family friendly, safe, and delightful at night. As wonderful as the apartment is, the host Edorado Gallo is what makes staying in this apartment the most wonderful experience we have ever had in a rental, on any continent. Edoardo is extremely knowledgeable and connected to the best tour guides, chefs, restaurants, and sites within and beyond Rome. His sincerest desire to to serve you as would a concierge at a luxury hotel. He was particularly helpful in working with the gluten allergy of our son - suggesting markets and restaurants where he could get the best gluten free pizza, pasta and dairy free ice cream. The private tour guides he facilitated were all wonderfully capable and friendly. One in particulate, Marta Polumbi, was exceptionally friendly, warm, and knowledgeable about all things Rome, and worked very hard to make things relevant to our 13 year old son. We now consider her a friend of the family. In short, if the fee is within your budget, you definitely should take this apartment, and work with Eduardo. If you do, I believe you will have as magical a trip as we did.

The Perfect Roman Holiday!

Robin G.

This gorgeous apartment is ideally located near the Spanish Steps and the Piazza de Popolo, making it the perfect location for our vacation in Rome! The proximity to the top sights, best shopping and restaurants was outstanding. We couldn’t have had a better location! The apartment is also gorgeous and the photos are a great representation. The furniture and art are charming, the bedding comfortable, and the kitchen and bathrooms are modern. Love the master bathroom shower! We put the kitchen and dining room to good use by hiring a private chef for a family and friends dinner one night for a special Roman meal. Edoardo (host) made the arrangements, and it was a most memorable (and delicious!) evening! Edoardo also made our airport transportation arrangements, and his drivers were prompt and professional. He also secured a private guide for the Vatican with one of the best tour companies in town. He’s quite exceptional as a host! Loved the holiday, the apartment and the service! Highly recommend!

Beautiful Property in the Heart of ROME

Firdaus A.

This beautiful property is well decorated to a very high standard. Once you enter the courtyard, you feel taken away from the bustle and noise of this charming city. It is quiet and peaceful and enchanting. We are on our 4th visit to Rome, having previously stayed at the Sofitel at the Spanish Steps, and at the Intercontinental. This apartment gave us, a family of 3, freedom and privacy from being cooped in hotel bedrooms and lobbies; and yet we enjoyed the high standard of décor, art and comfort in the apartment. The café “Manieschi” next door is fabulous and a quality “Pasticceria” with quality pastries (Cassata Siciliana), ice-creams, croissants, and coffee. Manieschi even does a limited amount of good quality sandwiches and hot food. Ristorante alla Alfredo is about 150 metres away, worth going there for the “fettuccini alla Alfredo”. This property exudes taste and quality and an ideal position for Rome. We have stayed in Executive villas in the Orlando (U.S), luxury villas in Nice (France) and in Crete (Greece), where we have rented luxury villas and this apartment for taste compares very well. Eduardo, the owner is a young man but very service minded and of the “old school refined manners” and politeness. He met us downstairs, and helped us to the elevator with our luggage. We met his parents (Daniela and Synthia) equally well mannered. Eduardo showed us the apartment and left his contact details with us. He was available for any help but discreetly left us after the introduction and we had privacy. On Friday, he called to say that his assistant would check us out and refund the deposit. Edoardo apologised for not seeing us off like a good host. Chato, his assistant was equally smooth and efficient. We are so happy that we would recommend this flat to anyone. The central location of the flat is 10 minutes (approx.) from the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, Via Conditti. It is a walking distance from all the best 10 monuments of Rome and for those who like to take taxi’s, the taxi stand is not far and a taxi ride is €10 to €15. The opera too is not far. We enjoyed the TEATRO SALONE MARGHERITA ( Margherita of Savoia, King Umberto’s I wife). The flat is an excellent centre for tourists, theatre buffs, and shoppers. Eduardo offered to organise trips to Tivoli and Villa d’Este as well as the transfers to and from the airport. However after 3 trips, and being able to speak a little Italian, we could get by! We'd stay here again! Thanks Edoardo.

We loved our stay

Immaculate apartment in a great area of Rome!

Susan H

The apartment was gorgeous. There were three bedrooms with actual King-sized beds and a large shower in the master bedroom - just through a large walk-in closet. A washer and a dryer were available in a little room just off the master bedroom. Clothes also dried very well there on racks during the daytime. And for those also with a teenage boy that just needs Netflix after a very full day around the ruins - yes the flat screen has a dongle. But, as another reviewer mentioned, Edoardo is outstanding. He is a very polite, helpful and organized man. We had been communicating for 6 months prior to our vacation as I was not getting what I wanted with my travel agent. He works with a tour company and arranged the tours for our family, working out all the details quickly. He also arranged transportation to the airport for our departure. Ten minutes prior American Airlines canceled our flight home and I was unable to use my phone to make a call. Thankfully Edoardo let me us his. I would definitely stay at this property again in the future, or perhaps the other property managed by Edoardo. If you are a picky person with very high expectations, this is the place for you.

Absolutely Amazing!

Chiara V.

LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS A GEM

Karen A.

This is a spacious apartment that sleeps 6. We were a family of 4 and had such an amazing time. This is a luxury apartment with all the amenities you can imagine. I can't say enough about the owner Edoardo, he is a classy gentleman and his assistance with the tours he suggested and the reservations he made for us for dinner, were above and beyond our expectations. This is the best location you can imaging near everything. The Spanish Steps, Tevi Fountain and endless shops and restaurants. Trust Edoardo in any decision making you won't go wrong. The street by the front of the apartment is shut down with no cars traveling which makes it so nice with street dancers and other talented people always nearby to make you smile and laugh. Trust me you will be living, loving and laughing your way through Rome is this impeccably clean apartment.

LUXURY apt in PRIME location! AMAZING hosts!! A++++

Ann C.

This luxury apt was impeccably clean, tastefully decorated with antiques, and was in prime location to all major Rome sites - most within walking distance! What an incredibly peaceful place to stay. We felt truly pampered in the spa like baths and very comfortable in the beautifully appointed kitchen with high end upgrades. But the best part of our stay were our wonderful hosts, Edoardo & Daniele!! They couldn't have been nicer! They were so welcoming - especially to our 5 young children - and immediately made us feel more like family than guests. They were ready to help us with any requests we had from the moment we first booked our reservation months ahead, to the very last day we were there. Their apartment was was just steps from Piazza Del Poppolo and within easy walking distance to Spanish Steps, Pantheon, the Vatican, amazing restaurants and fabulous shopping on Via Corso. We felt pampered in this luxurious apt which was in a very secure building. Our only regret is that we did not stay longer, but definitely plan to return on our next trip and stay for many more nights! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this apt and it's gracious hosts!!! 5 STAR!!! A+++++++++++

This place was everything as described.

Sometimes things too good to be true...are true!

Kathy R.

First, everything everyone has said about the quality of this apartment and its location is true. However, I wish to add something about the extraordinary care and attention that Edoardo and his family provided for me. Unfortunately, I had a fall while visiting, unnerving in any context, but particularly in a foreign country when you don't speak the language. Edoardo responded to an urgent email immediately, arranged the ambulance and then followed me to the hospital where he stayed for the entire five hour A and E marathon, acting as intermediary and translator. He then arranged a taxi back to the apartment and checked later that I was OK...he simply could not have done more and I am eternally grateful to him and his family for their help and support when I need it most. No five star hotel could have or would have done more.

These 10 days was our 2nd stay at the property in 3 years. Eduardo a caring landlord

Firdaus A

This is our second stay at this wonderful property. What is even more impressive, is the landlord Eduardo. I have mobility problems and am in a wheelchair a lot of the time. Eduardo kindly got 2 ramps to enable me to get to the lift more easily. I had my own wheelchair. But, he also got me a small wheelchair to ease my movement inside the property particularly the bathroom. Eduardo has an eye for detail and caters for what one would say "home from home". Eduardo is always available for any problems and he responds straight away. The property is immaculate and of a very high luxury standard. We have rented luxury properties in US, Crete, France, and Cyprus. To rent this property twice speaks volumes. Each time for 7 days and now 10 days. The great surrounding area, the cafe and the several restaurants attract us to it. Tourist locations are a stones throw away as is great shopping. We will stay there again.

Vacation of a Lifetime In Rome

james G.

My family and I had the true pleasure of staying at this lovely apartment conveniently located right around the corner from Piazza Del Popolo. I must admit that when I found this property on VRBO, I was a bit skeptical because of all the fantastic reviews the property and owner consistently received. I can tell you, from our experience, that all the reviews were completely true and very accurate. From the moment we booked the apartment, Edoardo made the whole process seamless and was extremely responsive to all questions (and there were alot). He assisted with coordinating all of our tours, recommended restaurants, set-up transportation to and from the airport in Rome and when we had questions during our stay, Edoardo responded within minutes to our needs. I have never experienced anyone who cares so much for his clients and goes above and beyond to make you feel like a local. As for the apartment, it was exactly as advertised. The apartment is located on a very quiet street but strategically placed right next to all the action. From the apartment you can walk to all the major sites within Rome. As soon as you enter the apartment, you really appreciate the effort that Edoardo has put into making this feel like your Roman home. The furnishings are well appointed, there is a fully functional kitchen (which we took advantage of for breakfast every day), and the three bedrooms are really nice and the beds were very comfortable. Pharmacy, supermarket, restaurants, gelato and general shopping are moments from the apartment. The tour company that Edoardo partners with for his clients was excellent. The tour guides are all very well educated, have a tremendous grasp on Roman history and really help you understand the most important parts of the sites visited. We started with the Ancient Rome Tour (with Michela), went on the Vatican Relax Tour (with Elisa), Borghese Gallery Tour (with Katie a transplanted Californian) and we finished with the Catacombs Tour (with Dennis). Each and every tour was spectacular and very insightful for my 13 and 16 year-old children. The guides kept each tour interesting and they were all very engaging professionals. Overall, I would highly recommend this property and I look forward to staying at Edoardo’s second property in Rome when we return.

Amazing property - Amazing Service

Jessica A.

WOW – We truly enjoyed our three night stay in this exceptional luxury 3 bedroom – two bath rental in the middle of everything in Rome = and around the corner from the Spanish Steps. Trevi Fountain etc…I have a lot to say about how well appointed the apartment was,,, Large bedrooms, huge master bath – foyer, kitchen with a breezy window and living room- But what really stands out for this apartment rental was Edoardo Gallo – the youthful owner who made this so easy/ breezy and helpful. From the minute I contacted Edoardo, months before our rental, he responded right away. I was able to email him from my work email (a lot) in the states and get quick and specific info and help … For example = we took him up on his offer to use a van service that he knew of for a transfer from the airport to his apartment. And I was so glad (as we were traveling with our 87Yr old aunt)... so right as soon as we got through the baggage area – there was our transfer person waiting - Easy! (The apartment is in an area just around the corner from a taxi “stand” and there is a way to drive to it –but again – we needed the easy way – and we got it) We needed more coffee pods for the wonderful Nepresso machine – voila – email to Edorado and there they were! Also, I told Edoardo that I needed to have the three of us to see Vatican museum/ St Paul’s and it was getting difficult to get the reservations etc. He offer to help with a private guide ~ which was wonderful – ( he was a great guide and we zipped in and saw and got out three hours later ~just what we wanted ) But the BIGGEST help that afternoon – (at the Vatican tour) was Edoardo’s extraordinary help. Here is what happened…(by no fault) my husband’s work/life/ personal iphone fell out of his pouch into the cab as we exited the cab at the Vatican – … This was realized just as the cabbie pulled off-- (everyone ran after the cab but missed her ) – W e all tried and tried calling etc… but nothing – we didn’t know that cabbie or name or anything ,,, So-- In this chaos - I emailed Edoardo = HELP! and while we were touring the Vatican– he repeatedly called my husband’s cell – and then got the lady cabbie – connected with her and got my husbands’ phone back right as we ended the three hour tour AMAZING! What service ? Not even the Ritz Carlton or other high end hotels would have invested that kind of time to help us….I would stay with Edorado in Rome again even if I only “NEEDED” a smaller place!! Love it!

Excellent Accommodations and Location!

Gianni M.

We stayed at this property for our Christmas Holidays. Traveling from NY to Rome. This was a much better option than a hotel for a family of 4. We were all together, yet we had our own beautiful rooms. We were worried as this was our first international VRBO, and thought the pictures may not represent the actual accommodations. However, in this case THE PICTURES did NOT lie! The accommodations were updated, beautiful and elegant. We were very comfortable, having our own rooms, kitchen and lounging area. Simply beautiful! If that is not enough of a recommendation, working with Eduardo was an absolute pleasure. Eduardo was incredibly responsive to any and all of our questions with regard to what to bring (i.e. hand held blow/hair dryer was in room, linens, etc.). It was all there! He also arranged for transfers to and from the airport for us which were on time and reliable. This was an amazing location where we could walk to every tourist and local attraction. One word will sum up our vacation at this location and the staff -- particularly Eduardo. PERFECT! Highly recommend and we will be back.
