IL GIARDINO DI CESARE, Rome

Il Giardino di Cesare sits in a peaceful, traffic-light residential neighbourhood well served by public transport. Multiple bus stops (lines 44, 718, 719) are within a 2-to-8-minute walk and provide direct connections to central attractions such as Campo de' Fiori and Palatine Hill; night buses serve late returns. The location offers excellent parking options: free on-street parking is usually available directly outside, and guarded paid garages are nearby. For guests arriving by car, the area is easier to navigate than central Rome. Fiumicino Airport is 19 km away and Roma Trastevere Train Station is 3 km from the apartment. A minimarket is in the same building, and many cafés, bakeries, pizzerias, and a gelateria are within a 3-to-8-minute walk.

This 70 m2 apartment sleeps up to four guests in one bedroom with a comfortable double bed and a living room with a sofa bed. The unit is freshly renovated and thoughtfully decorated with modern furnishings. The bathroom is exceptionally large and features a walk-in shower, free toiletries, and a hairdryer. The fully equipped kitchen includes a stovetop, oven, refrigerator, electric kettle, tea and coffee facilities, cookware, and complimentary basics like salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil, and bottled water. The enormous private terrace includes outdoor furniture, a swing set, and a shaded dining area overlooking a well-kept garden-ideal for al fresco meals and relaxation.

There is no washing machine. Mosquito repellent is provided.

The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances and cookware, making it easy to prepare full meals. Breakfast can be enjoyed outdoors on the terrace with garden views. For those who prefer to eat out, a wide variety of nearby options are all within a 3-8 minute walk: Il Pacchero a Portuense, La Silviana, Forno Budassi (bakery), Pizzeria Il Cavaliere, and Gelateria Naturale Verde Cacao.
