Vatican Roof Garden

Vatican Roof Garden: 8/10 Reviews: 22nd – 27th July 2019 We booked the entire 5 bedroom flat for the 5 days. It is a very spacious and clean, 5 double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (shower cubicle, wc and bidet). There is a kitchen/dining area with cooker, fridge-freezer, toaster, coffee machine (no microwave) and basic pots, pans and cutlery. The apartment is on the first floor of a secure residential complex, with key entry and a small lift. There is a roof garden which is a beautiful feature particularly on a hot day. All rooms have working air-conditioners. Free wifi is provided. We were met by Francesco (friend of the owner) who kindly showed us around, took the payment and gave a receipt. The owner allowed us to have additional guests (who booked later) at no extra cost, which was appreciated.

Though we had a good time this is a B&B and not a hotel or serviced apartment. There is no reception and the only way to contact was calling the owner via whatsup call. The bed mattresses and other furnishings could be of better quality and comfort without much cost. The provision of towels, bed-linen, pillows, toiletries,etc is limited. If you expect the benefits of a serviced apartment book a hotel instead. The guests can buy basic provisions from nearby shops (0.2-0.5miles). None of the rooms or bathrooms have locks, which seems quite usual in this part of the world. THERE IS NO WASHING MACHINE IN THE APARTMENT. This error should be rectified on the booking.com site.
