The Gaia Apartment in Rome - FriendlyRentals

Description from the manager

This elegant and exclusive 90 m2 apartment combines the comfort you would expect from a grand hotel together with a terrific location, making your holiday in Rome unforgettable!

This luxurious two bedroom apartment is ideal for large family, a family reunion or a special trip with treasured friends. Best of all you can walk to all the major sites from this unbelievable and priceless location, just in the heart of the historical center. Undoubtedly, this is a great choice for absorbing the pleasure of the very best of Rome.

The area surrounding the apartment:

The Gaia apartment is located right in the heart of Rome historical... centre, just behind Piazza Navona, one of the most famous and arguably the most beautiful squares of the eternal city. The piazza, unspoiled by new building or traffic, is today one of the best places to see Baroque architecture in Rome. Its oval shape results from the ruins of the Stadium of Domitian, lying underneath.

Navona square is also one of the most frequented place in Rome where both locals and tourists like to hang out even till late in the night thanks to the numerous outdoor cafés, restaurants and piano-bars. It is extremely pleasant just to sit on a cool stone bench and watch the world go by. Then join a table in one of the cafès that face onto the square and pep up your senses with an espresso or a cappuccino, while the locals shop and the street musicians capture the tourists. You will suddenly feel the Roman in you. When you are tired of people-watching, wander on your own and let yourself get lost on the beautiful cobblestone streets of the most fascinating area of the city.

The memorable stats of this unbelievable location include a 2-minute walk to the Campo de’ Fiori; 5 minutes to the Pantheon; 10 minutes to the Trevi fountain and the Spanish Steps; The Vatican and St. Peters a mere 20 minutes walk; by crossing the nearby pedestrian bridge Ponte Sisto in a 15 minute walk you reach Trastevere. Do we really need to say more?

The apartment:

Located on the first floor of a beautiful 18-century building with NO elevator , the Gaia apartment is situated on a pedestrian street off a small square, right at the back of Piazza Navona.

From the art adorning its walls to the tasteful high quality furnishings, this sophisticated two-bedroom apartment has a distinctly Roman flair. Wood ceiling beams, terra cotta flooring, frescoed walls and crystal chandeliers give a feel for the past, while up-to-date appliances and amenities provide modern comfort.

This enchanting apartment features a master bedroom with a double bed, an ample wardrobe and a stylish chest of drawers. The second bedroom offers two single beds, which can be made up separately or pushed together as a king-size bed, and a large wardrobe for guests’ belongings.

The spacious and elegant living room is the ideal space to unwind after a busy day spent sightseeing the marvels of Rome. Here guests can relax by listening to some music, watching satellite TV or sending a “wish-you-were-here” email. This welcoming area includes also a lovely dining table with chairs for up to six people and a comfy double sofa bed which provides additional sleeping space for the fifth and the sixth guest.

The kitchen is small but fully equipped with all mod cons should the guests choose to prepare a meal at some point during the stay. The two full bathrooms are elegant and adorned with marble. One bathroom has a bathtub/shower unit while the second one has a shower stall.

The Gaia apartment also includes air conditioning, autonomous heating, and double glazed windows in all rooms to provide the guests with the maximum level of comfort.

The exceptional comfort, the authentic atmosphere of a Roman neighborhood, and the warm furnishings of this beautiful luxury apartment all combine to make your stay a memory of a lifetime.

  great location

  Left on 09/22/2011 for a stay in June 2011
  
  

  located meters away from Piazza Navona...this apartment was ideally located.
  The kitchen was fully equipped. The decor was a bit querky...but clean and comfortable. We had internet access and the check-in/out went very smoothly. We enjoyed our stay here. The only issue was that the apartment overlooked a busy street...so be prepared for a bit of noise when you try to sleep. Otherwise it was perfect!

  Excellent location and charming renaissance architecture

  Left on 09/15/2011 for a stay in June 2011
  
  

  A very charming apartment, with plenty of room for our family of four.
  There are many restaurants and shops within walking distance, and most significant museums and sights were within 1-2 miles of apartment.
  
  Check-in and check-out were painless.
  
  There is a grocery store, as well, about three blocks on the same street.

  The location was outstanding. You can walk to all major attractions in Central Rome from this apartment. Apartment looked exactly like the pictures only a little smaller. Genarro was very responsive to any problems. We would definitely stay here again.
