Family-friendly vacation rentals in Monte Sacro Alto, Rome

If you are planning on spending more than a week in Rome but do not want to reside in any tourist area, look no further than Antonia’s absolutely fantastic home in Garbatella!!!! The bedrooms (three!) are all spacious and well-lit. The bathrooms provide everything one needs, including a washing machine! We cooked several of our meals in her well-appointed kitchen as it contained everything one needs, including a huge refrigerator by Italian standards and a dishwasher! The BEST part however is Antonia herself! Fantastic communication throughout our stay and the most generous of persons, even dropping off fresh Italian pastries one morning! 5-minute walk to the metro; fantastic cheese and meat shop around the corner; 12-minute walk to the train 🚂 station and all in a vibrant neighborhood of true Italy!

At the entrance to Piazza de Popolo, this apartment welcomes you to Rome the same way that Keats, Gerte, Hans Christian Andersen and others entered Rome, with all its magnificence and history. In many ways, this apartment echos the grandeur of all who have come before it, while also providing the comfort and simplicity needed by guests who come to visit this incredible city. At the end of the day, you want a peaceful place to think, breathe, and sleep. The beds are perfect, the windows (when closed) keep out the city noise) and the loftiness of the rooms provide space to breathe. I know we will rerun again and again to this very special apartment—unless it is booked because of this review! This is a truly special location.

Perfect for two people and great location!

Very convenient and walkable to the basilica, we love our stay, felt like home. My family was very happy we were few minutes away from the Vatican. Maurizio the host is very responsive and flexible also Christina whom waited for us at the entrance of the building made us feel more confident on our stay. She gave us instructions and recommended a lot of places where to eat, how to take the bus, what number etc. our second day we were experts taking public transportation and walking around the neighborhood. And honestly everything is within walkable distance, from luxury shopping to any Shop, and restaurants! Over all my family had the best time!

Just spent 3 wonderful nights in this beautiful family home. Lots of space for 7 of us and all the facilities we needed. Comfortable beds, excellent WiFi, well equipped kitchen and located in a lovely central area of Rome. Walkable to many good restaurants and bars. As mentioned, it can get noisy in the late evening but we had ear plugs so it wasn’t an issue. Highly recommend this apartment and we would all return in a heartbeat!

We had a great stay at Maria Teresa's place! The location is just fantastic, close to everything and the Metro, very peaceful at night. We were a family of four, with 2 teenagers. It was the perfect amount of space for us all, giving us a great space to start and end our days, and retire to between site seeing. Its a beautiful, fully vintage space on the almost top floor, we made use of all of it, from the small balcony looking onto the courtyard behind the apt to the private patio. It looks just like the pictures -- its cozy and welcoming. The bathrooms and kitchen were perfectly clean, the beds really comfortable, everything we needed was available. Maria Teresa and her colleague Karina got us settled quickly and gave fantastic recommendations for restaurants -- these were terrific and really made our stay 10+. Its situated in a very high end part of Rome, for the price and location, it can't really be beat. We were just sad to leave and are planning our next trip to Italy soon!

This had the best location, accommodations, view, literally everything about this place was awesome!!!!

We had great time in Lorella's house. Lorella and her husband greet us very friendly, gave all instructions, we're very attentive and extremely helpful! House was very clean, comfortable, even better than in the photos. Lorella think about every details for her guests will feel comfortable, coffee, tea and sweets were waiting for us in the kitchen, we were enjoying of our morning coffe in the wonderful balcony! Less than 5 min walk to the metro, shops and restaurants in the neighbourhood, easy to reach airport via shuttle bus - so all you need for great time in Rome! I will highly recommend Lorella's wonderful house, she and her husband just perfect hosts!

Edoardo's apartment is in a great location, close to public transport. It is well-equipped with many useful accessories for tourists.

Emanuela's cozy apartment was a great place to relax after long days of sightseeing. She is a great host and has prepared her apartment nicely for our arrival. We felt very welcome and would definitely recommend the accommodation for any Rome trip. Metro, bus, tram, everything was close by.

It is a beautiful apartment, located in a quiet neighborhood very close to the Vatican. Giuseppe is a very friendly luxury host, he allowed us to leave our bags in the apartment after check-out and gave us local recommendations, a very kind and generous man. The apartment is even nicer and bigger than what you see in photos, they left us coffee and water in the fridge. Walking can reach the rest of the city's attractions, but it is a beautiful neighborhood to rest at night.

close to public transit but still 30 mins from city center that way. clean, safe.

The apartment's location is unparalleled, literally one block from the Colosseum and very close to all the other attractions. Pamino is very friendly and the access is very easy. Highly recommend.

I stayed at Paolo's for 4 days very spacious and comfortable apartment very close to the metro (20 m), Paolo was very nice and friendly. Highly recommended.

This place checked every box on our list—safe (across the street from police headquarters!), walkable to just about everywhere, right down from the train and literally in front of the bus stop, and a stone’s throw from all the thrift shops in Monti. Perfect place and a wonderful hostess, very responsive. We couldn’t have picked a better place!

Livia was very friendly and very responsive. Place was really close to Vatican Museum and close to metro, super easy to get around and very safe. Space was big for a big family and with kitchen and washer.

Stefano’s place was absolutely amazing! We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. The location on the 6th floor offers stunning views that are truly unforgettable. I especially loved the hot tub and terrace, where I spent every evening relaxing. The place was spotless, and they even let us drop off our bags the morning we arrived. I give Stefano’s place 5 stars, and we’ll definitely book again when we visit. It felt just like home!

The views from the house are absolutely gorgeous and true to the pictures. Claudia was a wonderful host and very responsive and even helped to recommend a great place for my family and I to eat when we got into town. We don’t speak Italian so she called ahead to two restaurants to make sure they were open and waiting for us to eat. The house looks just like the pictures.

it was a lovely place, alexander is a really nice person and everythings got well 👍

Cosy apartment with real fire

We had a very good stay at Alessandro, the place was quiet, clean and well connected to the city center. Would recommend to anyone going to Rome.

The house was exactly as described and we had a wonderful time. Communication was always spot on and Flavio was a great host. Everything worked perfectly. The house is in a great location. Perfect for day trips into Rome or to the surrounding hilltop towns. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

We really enjoyed our Christmas and New Year week at this place. We were a company of 4 adults and 4 children and the villa fully matched our expectations. The layout of the house is really comfortable and provides enough space for privacy and at the same time for spending time together, like the room with the fireplace. The territory is green and has everything to relax: swimming-pool, table tennis, places for playing with the ball and BBQ. It is also within a short drive from Rome historical center- Piazza Cavour, which has a convenient underground parking from where it is possible to explore Rome. Flavia and Giuseppe are always in touch if needed and the communication is easy.

Amazing accommodation in an amazing city. Loved the apartment, and the location is perfect for walking to all the big attractions. Would and probably will stay again. Rome was magnificent 😎
