Scottish hospitality in Rome (apartment)

Home description

One bedroom apartment (6th floor with lift; 645 sq ft), recently refurbished and redecorated throughout, owned by a Scottish-Italian family who take pride in making it a warm home from home for their guests - supremely good value and a perfect choice for visitors to Rome. The apartment features: bedroom with king size bed and single fold-up bed suitable for a child, 2 bedside tables, dressing table and wardrobe; comfortable living/dining room with 2 settees (one of which a queen size bed settee) where one can relax after a busy day sightseeing, bookcase, dining table and chairs; fully equipped live-in modern kitchen; bathroom with bath/shower over; entrance with extra wardrobe; balcony with sun blinds, table and chairs.

One of the main assets of the property is that it is right at an A-line Metro stop (Colli Albani). Since the A-line Metro connects all the tourist attractions from the Old Appian way to the Vatican, all the major sights are reached in a few minutes. Located in the Colli Albani-Appio San Giovanni area, it is 3 km from St.John's cathedral, 5 km from the Coliseum, within walking distance of the Old Appian Way. Public transport widely available. Supermarket opposite and a great mix of shops, banks, internet cafés, restaurants, pubs, pizzerias in close proximity. The adjacent Via Appia Nuova is excellent for shopping.

Rome / Appio Latino area

Rome needs no introduction, but a special feature near the flat is the Regional Park of the Old Appian Way. The Old Appian Way is the first and most famous of the ancient Roman roads, running from Rome to Campania and southern Italy. Begun in 312 BC by the censor Appius Claudius Caecus, the road originally ran 132 mi (212 km) to ancient Capua; by 244 BC it extended 230 mi (370 km) to the port of Brundisium (Brindisi) in Italy's heel. Built of smoothly fitted blocks of lava on a heavy stone foundation, the road provided a long-lasting surface for transporting merchandise to these seaports (and then by ship to Greece and the eastern Mediterranean). Remains can still be seen today. In 1784, Pope Pius VI built the new Appian Way from Rome to Albano, parallel with the old.
Today the area around the Old Appian Way has become a Regional Park, which is possible to visit on foot, by bike or on the Archeobus (which you can catch at the Caffarella Park, a few minutes walk from the apartment). The Romans buried their dead outside the city along the Appian Way, putting up splendid monuments and tombs, remains of which are still standing. In the 3rd century, the Christians buried their dead in underground cemeteries, the catacombs, near the Appian Way. You may visit the catacombs on guided tours. Guides are friendly to kids (who feel like they’ve stepped into ancient Rome) and encourage questions.
The Old Appian Way Park is a perfect spot for a picnic . And it's a great escape from the city - here it's open countryside, green fields and forests, birds and crickets, working farms with horses and goats, and it's quiet and peaceful.

How to get there

From Ciampino: either take a taxi or the Cotral bus from the airport to the Anagnina, from where you take the Metro to Colli Albani.
From Fiumicino: either take a taxi or the train from the airport to the Rome Tuscolana station and then the Metro to Colli Albani.
By car: From the Ring Road (GRA) go out at exit 23 and follow directions to the city centre. When on the Via Appia Nuova, turn left at the traffic lights at n. 585, then turn right.

Guestbook

"Lovely bright, clean spacious apartment in ideal location. Bus terminus and metro station very close to hand. Everything you need within a short walk - quality shops, restaurants, supermarkets, cafes. Excellent for visiting the wonderful sites in central Rome but also lots to discover in the local area. We felt so much at home here that we felt more like locals rather than tourists just visiting! Balcony has a superb outlook and was a great place to relax and watch the buzz below. Irene was very welcoming and could not have been more helpful. We will most certainly be returning and would thoroughly recommend this apartment to others." Andrea S., U.K.
