We are home after from our Dec long weekend break in Rome, and stayed in Casa Franci. We found the hosts were very helpful and helped by telling us what to visit during our short trip. Having read other reviews, we also had the Green room, but did not mind the bathroom outside the room: after all the rate was very low considering the location, and it was just for three days. We must say that the room, and even the bathroom are really big just for two persons. The balcony with the great view of the Vatican is incredible. The location helped us quickly visit all we wanted to with no problems. I advise that you walk to the sites instead of catching a bus. Although the stop is right next to the B&B, Rome traffic makes it quicker to walk. The atmosphere is very quiet and private and although there were other guests in the other room, we heard nothing but the cars in the street. We had a nice break and Casa Franci was a good part of it.

Me and my wife had a long weekend in Rome and booked this BED AND BREAKFAST after reading very enthousiastic reviews.

We were very disappointed. Hoping for a beautiful little get-a-way, this place is located in a flat! Since the location itself is great we didn't get disappointed straight away, but the room made our faces turn sad. The green room, which is supposed to have a private bedroom, doesn't. Well, you have a private bedroom, but it's located on the other side of the appartement!

But, I want to add here also, that the people who run/own the appartement were nothing but fair and nice. We explained that we were expecting a more private little getaway and we've asked to get our money back. We decided to stay 1 out of 3 nights and looked in Rome for a place more to our liking. The owners didn't give us trouble at all, and made all the papers in order to get our money back! So no complaints at all about the owners, lovely people and very willing to help.

So in conclusion: As a couple I would not stay here again, and if I would, I would not take the green room. I guess for a group of friends or a family it's a nice place, but still for this price there are better places in Rome!

This is a great little place to stay if you are not looking for fancy or high price. View from our balcony was fantastic, especially at night. Room was basic but very comfortable, and breakfast was nutritious and very European. The bus and train station are right around the corner, making everything very easy to get to. If you are looking for a clean, convenient and reasonable spot to serve as your base to explore all of the city, this is the place.

St.Peters Basilica is much closer from this B&B's balcony, than it looks in their website's picture and
it's stunning. The place is very close to the Vatican and a short walk away from the historical centre;
very convenient. Casa Franci is very simple and plain but lacks nothing of the essential for a visitor. We
did see cheaper places, but in further away places from the centre. The hosts, Francesca and Cesar were very
helpful with their briefing and really organized our three day trip. Would advise this place to budget
but quality wary travellers.
