We enjoyed the quiet location beside the park and the excellent restaurants a short walk away. Raniero was an outstanding host who, upon arrival, gave us the lay of the land and remained available for local knowledge throughout our entire stay. Palm House 1 is beautifully and comfortably furnished and decorated. We hope to stay there again! The best VRBO we’ve ever rented.

It is exceptionally well appointed, perfectly located, easily accessible and has everything one could need or want. Staying this close to the exquisite Borghese park was a dream.

PH1 offers the same location conveniences mentioned in my review of PH2 (yes, we stayed in both due to availability during our stay in Rome). Its king size bed, bottle of wine and water were appreciated. It's a little quieter due to its location in the building but hasn't been modernized to the same level as PH2. Raniero is a thoughtful host so you can't go wrong in either apartment.

Raniero’s apartment was our perfect home from home for our 10 day stay in Rome. The location- very close to Villa Borghese is (in my opinion) the most peaceful and beautiful neighbourhood in Rome. The whole area felt very safe. The apartment was so well equipped with everything you could possible need for your stay. The apartment was beautifully presented and the huge Ralph Lauren bed was very comfortable. The outside space was an added bonus for a city stay. Raniero lives upstairs and was very easy to communicate with and very helpful. Thank you for a very memorable stay in the Eternal City.

The property is situated in a prime location and is within walking distance of most amenities. The Air Conditioning and internet were excellent, with lots of lovely restaurants nearby. The only issue we had was with ants in the apartment, despite not leaving food out and keeping the dishes clean. The host responded to us promptly and tried to resolve the issue. I iimagine that this issue will be resolved for the next guest and it was probaly a 1 off issue.
