Aurelia Vatican Apartments

We chose this place just outside of historic Rome because of the free parking and proximity to public transportation. The city bus stop was half a block away and took us to the interesting parts of Rome, nearby Vatican, and on to Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. It also stopped down the hill from the hotel at the metro. Beside the metro was a new shopping center with a full grocery store on basement level and cafés on the top level. We had a kitchenette in our studio so we purchased eggs, fruit, and breads at the grocery store for breakfast. The room was nice with a balcony overlooking a courtyard. It was rather cold at night so the front desk brought us blankets immediately upon request. An added bonus was on- site laundry. The desk changed our Euro bills for coins.

We highly recommend this apartment so close to the Vatican and yet reasonably priced and full of good service and clean facilities. Sam and his team are totally focused on treating their guests as visiting family. The rooms are very clean and spacious; the kitchen and laundry facilities are handy if needed and the secure parking very wecome considering the challenge of Roman driving. The 495 bus starts at the front door and runs you into wherever you need to go. The metro is close by too.

The Apartment was extremely clean. Fresh Towels every day and Beds made every day were a joy to come back to. We were offered the choice of 2 Apartments either the pretty courtyard with Fountain or the enclosed ground floor Apartment. The location is 2 mins from a Bus stop which goes straight to the centre and loops everywhere & takes just 15 minutes . The Head Receptionist was lovely & v helpful. Great choice for couple or family.

Excellent customer service. Our flight was due to arrive after midnight so even though the reception would be closed at that time, the hosts went out of their way to film a video with check-in instructions for how we should find our specific room that made everything much easier. Then at check-out, the gentleman at the reception spent a lot of time willingly giving us lots of details about how to spend the rest of our day, acting like the perfect tour guide for us. It was also very convenient that they had bus tickets on sale at the reception.
