Loved it. Thanks to our greeter who had made sure that the apartment was very clean and well equipped. Location is fabulous, Trevi fountain, grocery stores, easy access to everything. One surprise for me was that they say double bed but the bed in the bedroom was actually a king size bed. The same for the pull out in the living room, maybe not king but definitely and oversized double [the bed & the sofa bed are Italian queen size which is 3" wider than a N. American queen - Italy Perfect]. There's a book in the apartment with recommendations from previous visitors and we took a tour of the coliseum with Brandi and it was fabulous. That book was quite helpful. One thing that is a small negative is the views aren't very good. The front balcony is quite close to the back of a building, so no view there. The back porch is small, we had breakfast out there every morning and really enjoyed it, but it's cramped. The bathroom is quite nice but it is off the main bedroom so if someone is staying in the front room, they have to go through the bedroom to use the facilities. There's a fair bit of room in the apartment and we enjoyed dinner at home one night a the table with the windows open and a couple bottles of wine and certainly didn't feel cramped. Enjoy!

Archetto is the perfect apartment. Plenty of room, quiet and is in great shape. You can walk most of Rome from the location. Restaurants and shopping is right out the door. We enjoyed the restaurant Abruzzi (out the door turn right one block turn right again) good sea food. Abruzzi is one of Cardinal Doland 's favorites. We used" Walking Tours of Rome" for a couple private tours, they were excellent. This is the second time we have used Italy Perfect and I am sure we will use them again.

The apartment on Archetto was a wonderful place to stay. It is light and spacious. It had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The location is central, making visiting various sites easy.The service from Italy Perfect was just that, perfect! They made arrival and departure very easy. We will definitely return and have already recommended it to friends.

The Archetto apartment is perfect for two people. It is very close to the Trevi Fountain and centrally located so you can walk everywhere in Rome. The restaurant downstairs is very good and we ate there a couple of times. We did have trouble getting an internet connection, and after a few tries, Rosie, our greeter was able to finally connect us a couple of days into the week. She did keep trying until she got it to work. Although we didn't have warm enough weather to use the terrace, it was very nice, as well as the balcony. The apartment was very cozy and efficient at the same time. I would recommend this apartment and Italy Perfect to a friend. [We have replaced the internet provider for better connectivity! Italy Perfect]

The Archetto apartment was everything we had hoped for and more. When the taxi pulled up to the door we were so happy about the location. We walked everywhere. Only caught a taxi once to go to the shopping outlets which were about 30min out of Rome, but worth it. The apartment was beautiful, our greeter was very kind and helpful and marked out our map to show us everything we needed. The restaurant downstairs is very nice and reasonably priced. Being so close to the Trevi Fountain was so much fun for the kids, especially going there early in the morning before anybody else got there. I should also mention Stefano, the driver italy perfect recommended. His car service was very professional, friendly and reliable. We would love to return to the Archetto, and would highly recommend Italy Perfect!

We arrived in Rome August 15th, in he middle of the hottest summer Italy has had in 50 years. The appartments was wonderful. Unfortunately the air conditioning in the bed room had died. Thankfully the a/c in the main room still worked so we were able to stay cool.

We contacted Pat and informed her about the a/c and she called me the next day informing us that as the weekend was coming up it was highly likely that it would not be repaired until the next week.

Pat told us that due to this they would like to move us to another appartment if that was ok. We were reluctant as the location of Archetto was amazing. We were 2 minutes from some of the best sights in Rome. Due to the heat we agreed, and the new appartment was also wonderful.

We cannot recommend Pat and her team enough. She definitely went above and beyond the call of duty. We will definitely be using them again.

The Archetto apartment was perfect in so many ways. It was beautifully furnished and the location was wonderful! Rome is a beautiful city with so much to see. It was nice being so centrally located. We could walk to most of the famous sites. The apartment was spacious and comfortable. We looked forward to returning to Archetto after a long day of sight-seeing! Our biggest disappointment was not staying longer than 7 days in this beautiful apartment! We tossed our coins into the Trevi Fountain so if the legend is true, we will return to the Archetto apartment on our next trip to Rome!

Archetto is very central to key sites, a few blocks from Trevi.

Apartment is lovely. Gorgeous living room, large rooms. Very clean.

Only negative was patio was not as pretty as pictured in pictures, overlooks buildings, not front street (patio in front was pretty full with stuff.)

Ristorante across street average food and great service.

Romantic cute block.

The Italy perfect staff was absolutely perfect, helpful advice makes getting an apartment through them very worth it - utilizing them makes your whole trip easier.

Ciao ! A few words to share with you a wonderful week in Rome. The apartment lived up to our (high) expectations. It was very comfortable, clean and quiet. We enjoyed the terrasse everyday for apero before dinner. The apartment is centrally located in Rome, and everything we visited was within a 30-45 minutes walking distance. Several good restaurants around. We moderately enjoyed the Archetto restaurant downstairs (unfriendly waiter, OK food), but we found several others nearby, much better (Baccano, Il Chianti, Osteria dell'Ingegno). For bread and pizza lovers, a 20 minutes walk to Forno Marco Roscioli in Campo dei Fiore is a must. For gelati, walk 10 min. to Giolitti, a world famous place (but good gelati are easy to find everywhere).

Rosie our greeter was wonderful, on time and was able to make last minute modifications to her schedule for us.

I would definitely recommend this apartment.

This one bedroom apartment was a great home in Rome for two people. The location was ideal for many reasons. First, proximity to the Trevi fountain, Via Frattina shopping district, Spanish steps shopping district, terrific dining and a grocery store. Second, the kitchen was well-appointed and the washer came in very handy every day. Third, everyone with whom we interacted to arrange arrival and departure were helpful. Fourth, the apartment was spacious and included free WiFi. A result of this experience I have recommended Italy Perfect to friends who are planning trips to Italy. Tip for next visitors: bring a couple of really good maps of Rome. We had three maps (one from a tour book, one from a city map vendor, and a GPS map on a tablet) and needed each one because some streets were not shown on one map or another.

We have enjoyed out stay at L’Archetto.  This lovely apartment met our travel needs and we will have fond memories of our stay.

After long tours and walks each day we looked forward to a cool drink and the breezes coming in through the windows.  It has been a treat to watch the light change in the evening and contemplate our next outing in Rome.

If you are looking for a great gelato you MUST go to Gelato dei Gracchi near the Vatican and Lepanto Metro stop=via del Gracchi near via M.A. Colonna.  Best pistachio flavor in town.  For gelato by Claudio Torce- 50 flavors and all of them delicious. Via del Scrofa to via del Arancio near Piazza Monte D’Oro on a little side street with a produce market and café.  For a great lunch buffet with seafood and a Coliseum view go to Hosteria Nerone.  Sweet people great food and they comped us limoncello shots.

Archetto apartment was our second apartment rental in Rome and the location is great. Many great restaurants and attractions are within a 5 minute walk. Don't miss the Colonna Gallery and Isabella apartment tours on Saturday.

Compared to our last rental agency, Italy Perfect was very professional and well organized. The only problem we had was internet access, but that was addressed promptly and we had similar problems in the first rental, but not nearly so well addressed.

We chose Italy Perfect because of our outstanding experiences with Paris Perfect and clearly the approaches are very similar.

We enjoyed our stay at this flat, it was centrally located to all major tourist attractions, well appointed, clean and aesthetically pleasing.

I liked our small balcony and terrace.

The Spaghetteria and pizzeria L'archetto is in the same building owned by a Spanish expat is do convenient when too tired to venture out to eat , is always buzzing with people and the food is ok.

Rosie our greeter was most helpful showing us how everything worked.

In will definitely will use Italy perfect again if we go back to Italy, and will recommend it to friends.

Grazie Mille

From Guestbook: Thanks to Lisa  & Rosie for making our stay a very easy and relaxing stay and making us fell like the locals.  If you go to “Campo fiere” do not miss all the alleyways far from the crowds.  There you will find local artisan .  Like the place we bought a handmade belt, pottery artisans a clock repair shop to say the least seeing all the everyday life of the locals is my favorite part of the trips.

Do not miss St. Peter’s Cathedral it is beautiful.  Lov all the nuns and priests driving on line at gelato shop.  Just love it here.

We are sorry to say goodbye to Rome, the Archetto flat and all the food.  We have truly enjoyed our short stay after our stay in Florence and Orvieto.

We had some wonderful meals at the Enoteca Antica (a few blocks away) the restaurant below was a great place to eat when you are tired or just want order “andare alimentare” plus the owner speaks Spanish so I got to practice my native tongue.

The cheese store neat Trevi fountain was a good place to order cheeses, wine, salami and practice my italiano.

With our many stays in Rome this had to be the most interesting with the changes in weather. The first part of the month came with Rome's first snowfall in 28 years. Now that we are learning the temperatures we're in the mid 70's!

Archetto was a perfect place to return to after a busy day of language school, just far enough away from the crowds of tourists at the Treve Fountain. We enjoyed talking with the proprietor of the restaurant downstairs and eating there as well.

Carnival was the highlight of our stay with the street artists special sweets and culminating with the festivities on Fat Tuesday . Fireworks and an equestrian show.

Great location and furnished nicely. The bathroom was spacious and attractive. The internet would be inconsistent at times but appreciated the DVD player and CD player in Archetto that was lacking in Paaolina apartment.

A fabulous stay in an incredible city in a jewel of a place.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Archetto apartment!  It was perfect in every way.  We greatly appreciated all of the excellent support from you, Pat, Rosie, and Stefano - you all helped make our Roma adventure wonderful.  Happy New Year!

The apartment was wonderful. It made us feel as though we lived here in Rome. The accommodations were excellent, especially the tea. We ate at 3 great restaurants  Collene Emiliane, Maccherone and IL Chiarti. Also the church bell ringing every 15 minutes was neat, even if it woke you up at night. At least we knew what time it was. We also loved San Crespiro Ice Cream, my husband especially loved it.

Thank you for allowing us to share your apartment. It made our time here in Rome even more exciting.

I loved this apartment. So tastefully furnished and comfortable, with a balcony where we could eat outside enjoying the sites and sounds even though it was November. Hard to believe that the apartment which is situated on a quiet side street is just a few short blocks from Trevi Fountain bustling with crowds of people. It was great to return home to the apartment where we felt a world away from the tourists (yet able to join them with just a short walk when we wanted to). We also loved the restaurant just downstairs where we felt like family. I'm already thinking of when I can return here.
