Daytrip Ideas | View Availability

The Aventine Hill is one of the most desirable residential areas of Rome.  It is one of the original seven hills and is very well connected to all the major historical sites of Rome and in close proximity to some of Rome's top restaurants. From here, it is just a five-minute walk to the grocery store, bakery, cafe, restaurant or bus stop.  Ten minutes' walk brings you to the Pyramide Metro stop or to the Ostiense rail station. The house is located in a lovely quiet (for Rome) area across from a park and comes with parking for one car.

The house is particularly nice for families because of the attractive and usable outdoor space. There is a spacious patio and the property is surrounded by a fence with gate.  It is the best of both worlds, in the sense that it is very close to the center but still has the peace and greenery so nice for families with children.

Aventino Hill House has five bedrooms all on one floor and one of the most interesting and harmonious interiors of any of our Rome accommodations. It is really extraordinary. The owner is a collector and importer of fascinating antique and modern furnishings from all over the world. The apartment walls are lined with five-hundred year old bricks imported from the Far East. Painted pieces from Tibet, original artwork, beautiful tables and chairs are beautifully placed and are comfortable as well as beautiful. Guests will enjoy the furnishings so much, they will likely want to visit the owner’s equally upscale and interesting store in the Jewish Ghetto area of ancient Rome.

The interior house space is 200 sq meters (2000+ sq ft) plus a small guest cottage across the terrace of 17 sq meters (170+ sq ft) and the terrace is 100 sq meters (1000+ sq ft) with an impressive table made from one huge piece of wood and an marvelous bench from a single piece of wood. A mature wisteria vine covers the table, making a natural pergola. Since most rooms open onto the terrace, both the house and guest house are sunny and inviting.   

MAIN HOUSE (sleeps 6+2)

• Spacious open living room with large screen TV
• Dining area with large table and chairs
• Fully equipped kitchen area with microwave and dishwasher
• 1 queen-bedded room with full bathroom across the hall (large shower)
• 1 twin-bedded room with full bathroom across the hall (shower over tub)
• 1 master bedroom with queen bed, sliding glass doors to the terrace; en suite bathroom with shower over tub, double sink and bidet and WC
• 1 small twin-bedded room with beds end-on-end (so they can not be joined); suitable only for children, with small “wet bathroom” just outside that bedroom (shower does not have a real curtain as is often found on a ship's head so the bathroom gets wet and there is a drain in the floor). This bedroom and bathroom is not air-conditioned and is not as nice as the other bedrooms and is not appropriate for a couple so we list it as +2
• Laundry and service area.
  

GUEST COTTAGE (sleeps 2)

• 1 twin-bedded room; en suite bathroom with large shower and sliding glass doors to the terrace
  

Amenities: air-conditioning in all rooms except the children's bedroom as noted, large screen TV with English language channel, Vodaphone Internet key, washing machine, hair dryers, parking space
