Stayed in March 2008 in the Girasole Reale apartment which is on the second floor of Barbara and Marco Reales home in Villaggio Azurro. The location is green and and quiet. There is a bus stop near by. The bus takes you in 15 minutes to the Eur metro station. Barbara and Marco took every effort to help me in visiting the historical sites of Rome. I certainly do recommend Girasole Reale.

If you are looking for a wonderful stay in the outside of the city, this is the place to stay. Barbara and Marco are wonderful hosts with a lovely B&B. The flowers and garden are just beautiful to look at and the hot tub is just wonderful to relax in after a busy day touring all there is to see in Rome. While visiting there, Marco made dinner for us that was just delicious!!!
I would definetly reccomend this B&B to anyone and would definetly stay there again. There is a supermarket within walking distance from their location and the bus stop into Rome is about 1300 meters from the front door. Barbara and Marco will also take you right to the train station if they are around or if you make arrangements with them. They are both very friendly and willing to help you in any way they can.

Rome is a city of artists. Just imagine what it would be like to live like one.
I recently stayed at this wonderful loft bed and breakfast that is owned by an artist, and it was like visiting a creative friend who had invited me into her home.
When I walked into Barbara Reale’s home, I felt like I was in a contemporary museum. Her artwork is everywhere, and her colorful style is reflected in her furnishing choices.
Two matching couches—one red, one orange, are covered with carefully selected pillows. A mannequin wears a dress by one of Italy’s most famous designers Roberto Cavalli, and it co-ordinates with the colors in the couches. Barbara told me when she ordered the couches, they kept asking her if she was really sure she wanted two matching couches in different colors. Barbara is very sure of what she does, and her style works wonderfully well. Her handsome husband Marco made a pasta dinner with truffle sauce. We talked so long, I did not even get to “my” loft until very late. You could easily stay here for awhile, as there is even a washing machine. Best part is Barbara’s touch is everywhere—the silverware is in an interesting pot, the mirrors on the bedroom wall, and of course, the art. In the garden we enjoy the new outdoor jacuzzi .....but Girasolereale is in Rome centre a charming Penthouse and in Rome Beach 3 vacation rentals....
