Dolce Rome Apartments
Comments from our Guests
The following are comments from guests who have stayed at our apartment in the Campo de' Fiori / Piazza Navona area of Rome.
JUNE 2008
Cari Natalia e Walter,
Pamela, Janet, Gloria and I all wish to thank you both, again, for the wonderful stay we enjoyed in your Campo de' Fiori apartment. You made our first trip to Roma such a comfortable, and memorable experience by providing us with such responsive service (above and beyond the call of duty): answering our many questions prior to arriving in Rome; arranging for taxi service from/to the airport and
train station; greeting us and introducing us to the apartment and
its lovely neighborhood; providing numerous brochures, maps, and guides
for becoming acquainted with Rome; wonderful restaurant recommendations
(please say "Ciao!" to Ada and Alfredo for us!); providing us with a
cell
phone for local use - and so much more!
We heartily recommend Campo de' Fiori to all who are looking for an accommodation in Rome that must provide some roominess (2 bedrooms,
an entry way, a living room, 2 bathrooms + showers, large kitchen,
courtyard light and air). And, note, our eldest in our party - Gloria
(who was 84 years old at the time) was able to handle the stairs to
the apartment, and loved its openness (high ceilings, natural light in
each room) and proximity to local places of interest -- as would any elderly traveler.
We have such fond memories of our stay, and introduction to Roma because of you.
Mille grazie!

Dear Natalia and Walter,
We enjoyed such a lovely holiday in your apartment - so central to everything and with all the comforts of home! We appreciated all your help with regard to transport and places to visit, including Alfredo's restaurant.
The local shopping was great too- our bags are much heavier than when we arrived.
We look forward to staying again. The apartment has exceeded our expectations- everything we needed was here and it was so clean and tidy.
Natalia, we loved the décor
All the best and Grazie!

Dear Natalia and Walter,
Mille grazie for the wonderful apartment and introduction to Rome! We especially appreciate the time you spent with us when we first arrived giving us your tips on the highlights of your incredible city.
What a lovely surprise to find such a well-stocked kitchen....and a basket of tour books and brochures! The apartment's location couldn't be better, we enjoyed the great restaurants and shops in the neighborhood.
Our vacation wouldn't have been half as enjoyable if we hadn't had this apartment as out home base...comfy beds, sound proof windows, great water pressure in the showers, extra towels etc. etc. We could go on and on!! We will be back and recommend your apartment to all of our friends

Walter and Natalia,
We very much enjoyed our stay in your apartment. The location is perfect, close to most everything! Just off a major street but so quiet. We are just hoping that our walking burned off all the gelato we had. We liked having our own grocery nearby as well as the café Banchi vecchi for morning coffee.
Hopefully the coins at Trevi worked and we'll be back!!!

Dear Walter and Natalia,
We were very fortunate to have the use of your fine apartment for the last 5 days. We enjoyed it greatly. We were all very pleased with the trouble took to explain things to us when we arrived and to make us welcome.
Your provision of numerous small convenient things ans also many necessities saved us wasting time buying things in unfamiliar places or making do with awkward improvisations,
The décor, artwork and level of comfort in this spacious and solidly built apartment was most admirable.
The kitchen setup was particularly welcome. It is certainly the best I have encounters in several countries and made our self catering time very pleasant indeed.

Dear natalia and Walter,
Grazie Mille! Now we know that the time to come to Rome is only when we can stay in this great apartment. 1 month was not enough and we are excited to return in March..
We could not have imagined a better stay. You are the perfect hosts.
Thank you so much

Natalia and Walter,
What a city and the apartment was wonderful.
The day trip to Sabina was a trip highlight. Anyone who wants a great day outside the city should ask Natalia for the trip.
We will be back but only when one of the apartments is open.
We will recommend this spot to our friends.

Dear Natalia,
Your apartment is even better that the reviews promise. Furnishings are comfortable, décor is pleasant, and the kitchen is well equipped. We appreciate all the space and peaceful neighbourhood. The location is most convenient. We would love to stay again some days - this is the best accommodation we have had during any of our visit to Rome.
We also appreciated your dedication to helping us locate our lost luggage.
You are a wonderful host

Natalia and Walter,
what a wonderful home we have had here for 2 weeks.
It is very telling that when the kids said “we want to go home” they meant this apartment, not California.
We so appreciate everything you have done for us to make us comfortable
The neighbourhood is fabulous
We can’t wait to return, and so hope that when you come to Los Angeles you will get in touch with us so we can be your “ospiti”!

Walter and Natalia,
Thank you so much for giving us a place to call home for our week in Rome.
The apartment is beautiful, comfortable and in an ideal location. We truly appreciated your help getting oriented and your availability when we called. And all the brochures and booklets were so helpful and interesting.
The day Mom stayed in, she felt she had explored the city just by reading the histories and facts you have collected into books.
We will always treasure this delightful week in the eternal city-
Thank you for helping to make it so wonderful
Arrivederci

We could not have been more comfortable than we were in your lovely apartment.

Dear Natalia and Walter,
We have so enjoyed your beautiful apartment and all of the amenities of home. We especially enjoyed your tour in Sabina with the Abbey for Olive Oil tasting and the history of the Abbey. We so enjoyed meeting Gabriella and testing her wonderful award winning wines.
The cheeses produced by the Marcellini family was so interesting and the wonderful lunch they prepared for us for a once in a life time experience.
We thank you so much for the incredible day you taught us so much about Sabina and the people.
Thank you

Dear Natalia and Walter,
This has been a delightful apartment and neighborhood. We found so many sights to visit we can admit to total exhaustion and then revival later in the evening.
We will recommend this to our friends. Your help when we arrived was very helpful. It obvious you love your city and your country. We love it also.

We have had five wonderful days in your lovely apartment, which made seeming the sights of Rome so much more pleasant! We certainly appreciate all the thoughtful things you have done to make your guests comfortable. We will certainly recommend the apartment to others and please feel free to use my name as a reference.

Dear Natalia,
We finally returned home, unpacked, and settled into our daily routines. I cannot say how much we enjoyed our most recent stay in Rome all because of your hospitality and attentiveness to detail.
Our apartment was more than we hoped and your knowledge of the city was beyond any tour book. We found the apartment clean, spacious and so very close to some beautiful sights in the city. We especially found the history of the building historically enlightening and impressive.
We look forward to staying with you again on our next trip to Rome. Again, many thanks to you.
