Soak up the sights while you enjoy Trastevere's quaint village atmosphere at the cute and affordable Dorotea apartment. It is an ideal home-away-from-home for exploring Rome and enjoying Trastevere's enchanting atmosphere.

The Trastevere neighborhood of Rome's historic center is one of the most sought-after vacation rental apartment locations due to its charm and special character. Visitors delight in the many wonderful outdoor restaurants in the area. The nice terrace of the Dorotea apartment is a wonderful feature that is hard-to-find in this historic, central location.

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.

Trastevere, Rome
Our Review

  • Bright and pleasingly furnished
  • Meticulously clean
  • The terrace is wonderful. You might see & hear the neighbors & they'll see & hear you when you're on the terrace, but this is the center of Rome, what can you expect?
  • Trastevere is lively so if you don't enjoy city living, this isn't your apartment

Guest Book Testimonials
The Dorotea is attractive and convenient Aug 2009

Italy Perfect has the highest standards in their apartment rentals. The Dorotea is attractive and convenient. The courtyard is a big plus in good weather. The owner is delightful! Late night music from the bar downstairs is occasionally heard but was not a big issue for us in our overall love of this apartment. [Repeat guest who comes every year. Lisa, Italy Perfect]

Suzanne McGee, Berkeley, California

Center of the universe..... Jun 2009

If there was a spot in New York where Soho, Tribeca and the Village converged, its Roman equivalent would be the location of the Dorotea. I recently came back from a month staying there, and must ask anyone reading this to consider it a rave. The owner couldn't have been more reliable and accommodating, the apartment was spotless and charming, and I just can't think of a single complaint. Italy Perfect was on top of everything, completely reliable, responsive... what more can I say?

Jean Marcellino, New York City

Great apartment! Apr 2009

We loved our stay in the Dorotea apartment! The apartment was very clean, bright and sunny, spacious, and conveniently located in a great neighborhood. We loved sitting out on the private terrace! Since there are so many restaurants and caffes nearby (a real plus, as there are some very good ones!), we were concerned that the apartment might be noisy at night, but it was not. The only drawback to this apartment is that there is no clothes washer, but for us that was minor and Italy Perfect had included laundromat recommendations in the information that came with the apartment so that solved the problem. I also have to add that Italy Perfect lives up to its name -- perfect! They provide excellent customer service and the apartment more than lived up to our expectations. I have had previous experience with other apartment rental agencies and Italy Perfect is by far the best: professional, friendly, and helpful. I will definitely rent from them again (If we return to Rome, I'd love to rent Dorotea again.) and I have already recommended them to friends.

Exceptionally clean, everything in good working order Apr 2009

Exceptionally clean and everything in working order with a lot of hot water!!! Location was outstanding. No comments on restaurants because they were all gooood!! Enjoyed the most? . . .um . . ITALY!!! Everything. We had a five hour private tour of the Vatican. Can't come up with the adjectives to describe. Everything was perfect!! Thank you for making it seamless.

The apartment was ideal for us Mar 2009

My wife and I had a wonderful time in Rome. The apartment was ideal for us. It was centrally located, making it accessible to all the sites, restaurants and shops. We walked everywhere, had fun and truly enjoyed our experience there. The greeter was nice, showed us the ropes and made us feel welcome. The apartment was clean and comforting after a long day of siteseeing, shopping and enjoying the Italian cuisine and drink. We scheduled a driver to take us to the airport and he was timely, courteous and knew where to go. The welcome basket was a great touch.

Modern little apartment in an ancient city Mar 2009

This tidy, little apartment in an old building was perfect for us. Its location near the pedestrian bridge made it easy to get around this ancient city by foot. Its not quite so convenient if you want to get a taxi or get on a bus. There are lots of restaurants in the neighbourhood, including the cafe downstairs in the same building. There is even a laundry around the corner. The owner was helpful in getting us oriented (although controlling the hot water always remained a mystery) and helped with arranging our trip to the airport.

William Wood, Victoria, Canada

The greeter was nice and helpful Nov 2008

Overall we were very satisfied with accommodation and the greater was very nice and helpful. We 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. We loved the neighbourhood and the location, we could walk to almost all the monuments and landmarks. It was just great. Almost all cafes and restaurants around the apartment were good and are to be recommended. Also there was a green grocer just around the corner where you could also pick up some bread.

Karin and Karl Schon, Port Moody, BC Canada

Trastevere is the perfect neighborhood Jun 2008

We loved it. Trastevere is the perfect neighborhood and the apartment worked very well...wonderfully furnished and very pleasant on the patio.

Lydia Chavez, San Francisco, California

Apartment was great, very clean and welcoming May 2008

The trip was fabulous, and we had a wonderful break. The Dorotea apartment was great, very clean and welcoming and the terrace was a huge bonus. The apartment was spotless.

Kelly & Simon Robinson, Sydney, Australia

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.

Elaine and Suzanne McGee, Berkeley, California

Great place to come back to rest our weary feet May 2008

We loved your cozy little apartment! The location couldn't have been better, and it was a great place to come back to and rest our weary feet! Thanks for everything, all the best.

J. Killam, Aventura, Florida

Perfect starting point for our adventures Apr 2008

This place was adorable. It was the perfect starting point for all our adventures in Rome.

S. Calo, Brazil

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.

Sharon Downes, Madison, Wisconsin

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.

April Jones, Arlington, Virginia

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.
