Reviews of Appartamento Gabriele

October 2010 - Very comfortable apartment. The apartment is in a great location, on a quiet street. The balcony is spectacular.

Great information and tips available on website.

September 2010 - We loved Appartamento Gabriele. The owner was very helpful and couldn't have been nicer.

The apartment was charming and we loved the design details of the space. Best of all for us was the small patio overlooking the Aurelian wall. We sat there for meals and well into the evening soaking up the beauty of Roma and reminiscing about the days events.

The location was perfect. It was quiet, in a residential neighborhood, not flooded with tourists and noise. It was convenient to public transportation and several small restaurants and stores.

Thank you (Luca and Andrea) for all your help and patience in this process. The information in making the reservations was the best of any site we researched, as I said in the past. Your information was accurate and the photos really helped but did not oversell. We will recommend you to friends and be back for our next holiday to Italy, which will not be soon enough. Please contact us any time if you need further recommendations.

June 2010 - The apartment Gabriele was perfect. Great location, very well equipped and the air conditioning was very important (very hot period).

The manager was also very helpful at the check-in.

Everything was clear and well explained. Thank you.

May 2010 - We loved the apartment and it was so lovely to have a terrace. Each morning we had breakfast on the terrace (ie when it was fine!) and on sunny days the sun would stream down on us.

The apartment was well equipped and we did not have to disturb Gabriele at all. Gabriele did give us some tips which were very handy such as catching the indispensable 64 bus that was 2 minutes down the street. This bus took you to all the major sights and on the way back its depot was only 200 metres from the supermarket and right at the train station.

There were many handy restaurants and the Vatican was only 5 minutes walk.

The street was very quiet and peaceful and you felt you were miles away from a big city.

It is a very easy apartment to keep clean.

November 2009 - 300 metres from St Peter's made it a perfect location from which to explore Rome. The apartment contained everything that the visitor could need. The owner was most helpful.

Great service - as usual!

May 2009 - Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. The location was perfect for ease of getting to bus and metro, very close for walking almost everywhere, but was so very quiet at night.

Grocery store, cafes, shops and bus ticket locations all within a few minutes walk of the apartment.

With no air conditioning, the fans provided were welcome and it was very comfortable for sleeping. The kitchen was well equipped and made it very economical for meals. We ate breakfast in every day, and cooked dinner a few times.

I would stay there again on any future trips to Rome.

Summer in Italy was wonderful! My emails were always answered promptly. I found out about you from a neighbor. I have told everyone I know about you.

May 2009 - Appartamento Gabriele was a great place to stay.

The hot water system was strange, if you made a mistake with the switches in the bathroom, it should be better marked. The guest book was a great resource and guide for staying in the area. Location was excellent. The owner was not in Italy, so I was a little unsure what we would do if we had a problem.

It was hot while we were there, and the owner had provided fans which were great. The balcony was an enjoyable feature.

Very nice place, clean, and location was great.

September 2008 - We did enjoy Appartamento Gabriele.

The proximity to the Vatican and bus stops made it easy to get around Rome.

The city had a horrible heat wave while we were there and the apartment got quite hot during the day, but there were some standing fans that helped a little. Other than the heat, which no one has control over, we had a wonderful visit in a great city.

The Summer in Italy staff was wonderful. Answered all my questions I sent through email within 24 hrs or less. One of the best things that they did for us was to recommend a private driver for the Amalfi Coast: Claudio Lucibello (www.amalficoastcarservice.it). We took the train to Naples and he met us at the train station with a sign that had my name on it. He was wonderful and he showed us the entire coast, including a marvelous place to have lunch in Positano.

Thanks to all the staff at Summer in Italy for being so helpful. I have recommended you to everyone I speak with since I have returned home.

August 2008 - We enjoyed our 5 night stay at Appartamento Gabriele very much.

We had an emergency while at the apartment and Gabriele let us use his phone and phone card to contact our family at home in the USA. We can not say enough about the kindness shown to us.

Many many thanks to all.

March 2008 - The apartment is very conveniently located, close to the Vatican, restaurants, grocery store, and bus station from where the rest of “centro storico” and greater Rome is very reachable in minutes.

Living so close to the Vatican and across the street from a wall built in the third century by the emperor Aurelio brought a special feeling of being immersed in history throughout our visit!

The apartment is spacious (by European standards) and has everything one needs (kitchen, two bedrooms, living room, small terrace). The owner is also a very pleasant person.

Overall, a very satisfying experience.

We had a very good experience with Summer in Italy. We liked your professionalism both in organizing the trip and in communication. Thank you.

January 2008 - We loved Appartamento Gabriele. The location for us was wonderful, within a five minute walk to St. Peters. Wonderful restaurants, pastry and sandwich shops, and a Bancomat were even closer.

We walked all over Rome from the apartment (the Piazza Navona, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Trastevere) and took taxi's when we needed to. It is also very close to convenient bus lines.

The owner was extremely helpful and provides information for the area in the apartment.

The accommodations were roomy and the bathroom is really quite big. The kitchen was very functional.

I highly recommend this apartment for anyone who wants to visit Rome.

Keep up the good work! You guys are fabulous!

January 2007 - We loved Appartamento Gabriele. My one and only complaint - and it isn't even really a complaint - is that the kitchen is a little on the cramped side, but then I love to cook and I'm sure most people would find it perfectly acceptable.

The apartment is on a very quiet street (so hard to come by in Rome) and the buildings on the street are beautiful.

There is a very nice terrace off the living room and had it been just a bit warmer we would have loved to sit out there (but in first week of January it's a bit cool in the morning and evenings).

The apartment is a five minute walk to St. Peter's and so is very well located, with good restaurants nearby and a grocery store about 10 minutes up the street. We were able to walk to almost everywhere from here.

The owner was very gracious and let us store our luggage in his apartment next door because we had arrived very early in the morning and had to return our car to the airport.

The building itself is very well maintained and in a lovely setting. I would stay here again at the drop of a hat.

You guys are great. This is our third rental with you (Sorrento and Tuscany previous to this) and I was thrilled to find that you had added an apartment in Rome to your portfolio of properties. You obviously choose your properties (and proprietors) with care and you are always accessible and a pleasure to deal with.
