Very well looked after B&B in a great location only 2 mins walk from St Peter's Square. V close to bus stop to get into the city. Nearby there are a few nice restaurants and handy shops. Delightful hosts as confirmed in all the reviews! Good value. Great breakfasts.

The positive reviews are well deserved, not hype, if a quiet private getaway is the kind of retreat you like. We had a wonderful but too short (2 nights) Roman vacation, and stayed at Al Colonnato di San Pietro. Actually, because we booked so close to our trip, we stayed in the Sun Apartment, in a building about a block away from the B&B, with a mini kitchen (single burner) supplied with some comestibles including biscotti and marmalade, cereal, a heaping bowl of fresh fruit, milk, tea, and coffee, etc. Rosa Maria, the hostess at the B&B, also lets the Sun Apartment and the adjacent Moon Apartment just down the street from the B&B. The room was spacious by European standards, spotless, with a nice bathroom and plenty of privacy. The quiet neighborhood is mostly populated by "locals" as opposed to tourists, so you can get a feel for the real Rome, but it is a very short walk to St. Peter's (San Pietro) Basilica, the Vatican Museum, and also a short trek across the bridge and the Tiber to old Rome. We kept pinching ourselves--can you believe we are sleeping within shouting distance from Michelangelo's Pietà and Sistine Chapel?! In fact, you can hear the bells from San Pietro from the room--what a wonderful alarm clock! From the moment we arrived, exhausted, we were whisked by Mercedes from the airport (we highly recommend the car service Rosa Maria arranged for 40€). We were made to feel comfortable by the warm welcome from Rosa Maria when we arrived at the flat. We tried both of the neighborhood restaurants that she recommended, which were excellent and quite reasonably priced for Rome. One in fact had some of the best pasta we've had in Italy! Rosa Maria and Meldi, her charming assistant, invited us to have a cappuccino to chat and talk politics in the B&B apartment on our last morning there, when we dropped off our luggage, which was a treat. Next time, we will make arrangements earlier and get one of the lovely rooms in the B&B itself (which we took a peek at)!

My husband and I stayed here in June, what a find. The 2 ladies who run the B & B - Rosa and Melda - are superb hosts. The B & B is 'no frills' accommodation in a superb location, reasonably priced and with everything you need for a stay in Rome. This is the second time we have been to Rome and we found this accommodation to be a gem in the beautiful city of Rome - well worth a visit.

We stayed at the Sun Apartment and it was perfect. Rosa Maria arranged a taxi for us from the airport (€45) and she was waiting for us to show us the apartment and to tell us about places we had to visit and where we could have nice meals. The apartment is very close to the Vatican and the railway station is just 10 minutes away so that was easy for us going from Rome to the harbour to start our cruise. Apartment building has an elevator and it's a very quiet place. The room itself is spotless and the bathroom is great. You can make your own coffee or tea and there is plenty of fresh fruit, milk, water, cereals, butter and jam to make your own breakfast. Nobody bothers you and one thing, you have to make your own bed but who cares?
Rome is a fantastic city and there is so much to do and see that one visit isn't enough. The Roma pass (€20) gives you 3 days of transportation and 2 tickets and discounts on additional visits for museums and that's a great deal.
It was our first trip to Rome but for sure we'll be back.
