Appia Antica Resort

Made reservation this summer for a one month stay at Appia Antica Resort, Rome. Contract signed and full amount (with extra security deposit!) was requested and charged way in advance by the owner. Upon our arrival (after very long drive and spending hundreds of euros on travel) we were shocked by the fact that we are accommodated in an extremely dark semi-basement flat instead of the ground floor apartment we were entitled to according to the written contract. Probably due to its position within the villa the apartment intensively smelled mouldy and musty. When addressed these complains to the owner he „could not do anything about it”. After three restless nights, sadly, we had to return home. As an „apology” for his deliberately misleading and clearly irresponsible behaviour, the owner did not even refund all our money. I wonder who should be covering our travel expenses wasted in vain... Considering all the above mentioned shortcomings the fantastic reviews they have from before are a mystery and unfortunately only history.

Words cannot express the charm and beauty of Maurizio’s vacation home. Our rental was fully equipped for every possible need, but the amazing part is the quality, workmanship and artwork throughout. Maurizio is an amazing host. He is warm and inviting, in addition his knowledge of Roman art and history was utterly incredible. His family’s roots snd his love for Rome gave us a tour guide experience like no other. His care and compassion is beyond anything I have experienced in all my rental travels. I highly recommend this rental home. It is close to cafes, restaurants and historical site. Close to public transportation and feels like living in a luxury hotel but so much better because it is a home. I am definitely going back. Thank you Maurizio for a magical experience and your exceptional kindness!

I came here with my mom to relax and it was absolutely exactly what we needed! Such and Amazing and Peaceful Property with the most generous hospitable Hosts, truly made our experience in Rome soo amazing!! We were in such a calm quiet area but had everything we needed around every corner! There’s a close by market, wonderful restaurants with kind local Romans, great bread and gelato for all your cravings! And was able to see and learn so much about the city, very very easy to travel to the city and back to go see all the sights and experience the magic of Rome! Definitely recommend staying here and going on tours with the Host! You will learn so much!!

I had the pleasure of staying at the resort back in 2014. When we planned our trip to Rome, I knew I had to come back. We are a family of 5. My husband and I travelled with our 3 children (5, 3 and 7 month old) Maurizio is the most dedicated, accommodating and helpful host. We had everything we needed for our stay. The resort is just as great if not better than 8 years ago. Comfortable, clean and practical-which is super helpful when traveling with little ones. The grounds are beautiful and only 15 minutes away from the main sights. I appreciate all of Maurizio’s help with arranging our stay. He’s the best!! We can’t wait to come back to Appia Antica Resort soon.
