We stayed for 3 nights in Il Colonnato. We were met by Lorenzo who gave us a lovely welcome, taking the time to show us some places of interest, where to eat and even where to catch the hop on hop off buses. The room/en suite bathroom with shower was spotless. The bed was comfortable. There was a table and two dining chairs in the room allowing you to eat your breakfast. Breakfast was continental style with bread, cheese, meats, jams, fruit and some lovely cakes, biscuits, together with a fine selection of teas and coffee. There was a fridge which had milk, bottled water and fruit juices. Everything was replenished each day. There is a communal area which is shared by 4 rooms as you enter the door to the apartments, which is where the aforementioned supplies together with sink, cutlery, crockery and much more are housed. The room had a TV and air con.
The apartment is located very close to the Vatican. You can see the Basilica when you turn left out of the communal front door. There is a metro station within 5 minutes walk. 10 minutes walk and you're in St. Peters square and the Vatican. 20 minutes and you're in the central area of Rome. We did use the hop on/off bus which is a great way to see some of the sites, but the most enjoyable thing for us was just wandering around and stumbling across iconic places like the Trevi fountain, Spanish steps and the Pantheon and so much more, we loved it!
