Enjoy
Soak up the sights while you enjoy Trastevere's quaint village atmosphere at the cute and affordable Dorotea apartment.
Location
Rome’s Trastevere neighborhood is prized by the young and young-at-heart for its village atmosphere. Old world, offbeat, winding cobblestone streets, many restaurants and uniqueness make it a popular spot for visitors to Rome!
The neighborhood abounds with restaurants, shops and sites, whether it is an ancient monument or seeing how locals, known as Trasteverini, still hang laundry out to dry over the narrow streets. A few minutes walk from the apartment is famous Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, which welcomes all with it lively “all the world’s a stage” setting and beautiful church, believed to be one of the oldest in Rome.
The apartment is conveniently located just a few blocks from John Cabot University, one of Rome's most established study abroad campuses, making it a convenient apartment for friends and family who come to Rome to visit a student or faculty.
Exterior
The apartment building is accessed off a small passageway with 15 steps off the street. Walk up the passageway to reach the apartment building's front door. The Dorotea apartment is located on the building's ground floor.
Interior
The sunny decor and bright terrace of the Dorotea apartment provide a comfortable and central location for visitors to the Eternal City.
As you step through the apartment front door you are greeted by a clean, newly remodeled living room with round dining table that can seat up to four people, just beyond is a convertible sofa that opens up to sleep one person.
The bedroom is on the other side of the living room, separated by a partial wall. French doors in the bedroom open onto the sunny terrace. Touches of warm wood in the living room area with the dining table, buffet, and handsome wood armoire in the bedroom mix pleasantly with the modern sofa , bedroom area and lighting. The bedroom can be made up as two twins or a dual-king bed.
Beyond the living room is a doorway leading to the kitchen. The fully furnished kitchen is completely up-to-date with a convenient counter with two barstools for eating light meals. A delightful spot for a quick meal or breakfast.
Off the bedroom is the bathroom with bathtub with overhead shower attachment, toilet and bidet.
We've saved the best for last: the terrace! Step through the French doors off the bedroom or kitchen and you can enjoy sun-drenched days and balmy nights on the large, nicely planted patio. Furnished with a teak patio table and chairs, this is a delightful place to enjoy Rome's Mediterranean climate and savor "La Dolce Vita". Imagine lazy, languorous afternoons outside on the terrace.
This is city living so neighbors above can see you (and will probably be envious) soaking up the sun and enjoying meals al fresco on the terrace. If quiet is important to you, then this apartment is probably not for you. The coffee bar downstairs plays live music a few nights a week, usually on the weekends. But if you enjoy a live-and-let-live atmosphere, then the apartment is ideal for exploring Rome and enjoying Trastevere's fun filled atmosphere.

Our Review
- Bright and pleasingly furnished
- The terrace is wonderful
- If you are a night owl then you will enjoy the music from the bar downstairs
- The neighborhood is lively with night life so if you don't enjoy city living and late nights, this isn't your apartment
Guest Book Testimonials
| Dorothea Apartment, Rome, Italy | Nov 2008 |
Overall we were very satisfied with accomotation and the greater was very nice and helpful.We loved the loved the patio most and enjoyed eating our meals out there.The only drawback we found was the neighbours being too close and when they were home we could hear them talk and sometimes they stayed up all night.We loved the neighbourhood and the location, we could walk to almost all monuments and landmarks. It was just great.Allmost all cafes and restaurants around the apartment were good and to be recommended. Also there was a green grocer just around the corner wer you could also pick up some bread. |

| We loved your bright little hideaway | May 2008 |
Intrigued by the photo of the terrace, we booked eight nights at the Dorotea apartment in Trastevere. It was exactly where we wanted to be- at the foot of the Gianicolo hill, moments from the Botanical Garden and the Farnesina, 7 minutes walk over the foot bridge to Campo dei Fiori and Piazza Navona. The three of us were delighted with the accomodations- well designed and appointed. The terrace was a big plus for outdoor dining and entertaining. There was a specialty produce store next to the bar downstairs (not bothersome except for one Saturday night), across the river was a small supermarket, and down the street a good bakery- which made cooking in the compact kitchen convenient and fun. We recommend the apartment highly, ideal for two, but worked well for the three of us. We loved your bright little hideaway. |

| The apartment and location were perfect | Apr 2008 |
The apartment and location were perfect for us. We hope to return and stay at the Dorotea apartment again! It looked just like the photos and the neighborhood was wonderful. |

| the terrace space was a great added bonus | Mar 2008 |
We really enjoyed staying in the apartment. It was a great size for two people and the terrace space was a great added bonus. The apartment is really in a perfect location since it is walking distance from most of the major destinations in Rome. Plus the neighborhood was truly adorable. Our greeter was very friendly and nice and the welcome basket, maps and guidebooks were a great additional touch. I've already recommended ItalyPerfect to several friends. |

| Gabriella was a gracious hostess | Feb 2008 |
I'm really glad we heard about ItalyPerfect. I really enjoyed having an apartment rather than a hotel room for our stay in Roma. It was a wonderful trip and a pleasant stay. I thought the location of Dorotea was great. I loved being in the Trastevere and all the little shops, restaurants and more that are over there. It had much less of a touristy feel that being near the Spanish Steps or Pantheon would have been. It gave us a better sense of actually living in a Rome neighborhood. The apartment was also a nice size, bigger than a hotel room would have been and the extra of having the kitchen and terrace to boot. Gabriella was a gracious hostess. She took the time to walk us thru the mechanics of living in the apartment, showed us how to operate everything. She has even left a basket of welcoming goodies for us that helped ease us into the swing of things. Having the [loaner] Italian cell phone was a Godsend for being able to get hold of our son in Rome without exorbitant charges every time we called him. A plus of the apartment was that it was next to the good cafe where we could hang out and have coffee in the AM, a glass of wine in the PM, and check our email on the Internet. We got some noise in the late evening (up to 2am some nights) along with street noise when there were people standing outside and drinking. This was not a big deal as that's what comes along with being in that neighborhood and Gabriella had installed double pane glass. Overall, I'm glad we picked Dorotea. We would certainly use ItalyPerfect again and would recommend it to our friends. |
