Fantsstic stay at Casa Lilli

I would highly recommend this property to anyone. We stayed for two weeks and it was a very comfortable home in a great location - a home away from home. Marmi was a terrific host.

Great communication

Wonderful location near the colosseum. We were offered scheduled rides from the airport and to the train station when we left. Everything was clean and they were very easy to work with. Some of the best restaurants were just around the corner and for a good price. We will be back!

Great stay in Rome

We had a wonderful experience at this flat. It had everything we needed plus the washer was perfect. The owner scheduled transfers and tours for us. This was so helpful and I would book these services again. There are lots of restaurants close by. We walked from Vatican City and to all the other sites. I highly recommend this flat.

Another great stay

This was our second time at this apartment. There are plenty of restaurants and a store close by. The gelato shop was wonderful right next to the apartment. We love this location and size of the apartment. Yes, we did hear some construction next store which was out of the hosts control but it didn’t cause us any problems. I recommend this apartment, perfect for our family and the host even had updated furniture since our last stay. Thanks!!

Celio apartment

Typical Rome apartment, not fancy but pretty much everything you need. Fabulous host, arranged airport rides, was there when I arrived, treated me to breakfast at a local cafe, always responsive. Very quiet neighborhood but 3 blocks to Colosseum, 1/2 block to great gelato store, many good restaurants, nearby market. Highly recommended.

Close to Collosseum

This terrific property is a short walk to the Colloseum, the metro and convenient bus links to anywhere in Rome you wish to go. The spacious apartment is very clean and well equipped. It looks exactly like the listing. Our host kindly arranged airport transfers for us when we arrived. Fabiola warmly welcomed us and made sure we were comfortable. I would definitely recommend this property!

Great Rome location

The apartment is in an excellent location for visiting the Colosseum, Forum, Circa Maximus and major churches. The bathrooms were an issue. The larger bathroom only had a bathtub, and the second bathroom was extremely small. That bathroom has a small shower with a pressure less shower head, and paint peeling from the ceiling. The owner is very cordial and helpful.

A Great Find

Marmi was an excellent host, checking in with us before we arrived, arranging an airport transfer on short notice, and making sure our stay went well. The apartment was spotless and comfortable. The two bedrooms were each a good size, airy with high ceilings. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we enjoyed having breakfast with the doors open to the courtyard terrace. The apartment is close to the Colosseum, in a neighborhood with shops, restaurants, and a good grocery store. It’s close to the metro and buses, but we also enjoyed walking to other neighborhoods. Marmi’s apartment was a great place to land in Rome, and we hope to return.

Just Fabulous!

Everything about this lovely apartment was perfect for us. The little touches made a big difference - shampoo and shower gel, plenty of cleaning products and coffee for the machine. The place was absolutely spotless, one of the cleanest rentals I have ever stayed in. Even in 30⁰ heat, if we kept the shutters closed through the day, the apartment stayed lovely and cool. The neighbourhood was very quiet, even though it was so close to the heart of the historic district. There were some lovely cafes and restaurants close by and the highlights of Rome were all within walking distance. Marmi was the perfect host. She was there to greet us and made sure we were ok with everything before leaving us. She was only a message away if we needed her for anything and was very helpful. I can highly recommend Marmi's place to anyone staying in Rome. It really is just perfect.

Treasure Found in the Heart of Rome- Too bad there is not a 10 STAR option :)

Review #10692958 “Treasure Found in the Heart of Rome- Too bad there is not a 10 STAR option :)” This wonderful apartment in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by everything you need! Grocery, restaurants, pharmacy, shopping, Gelato all within walking distance! It is a quick walk to the Coliseum , and a beautiful walk all the way to the Vatican, with all the history and shopping in-between. The owner Marmi Fuentebella was a true diamond for a foreign traveler not familiar with Rome. She set my daughter and I up with a wonderful , personal tour guide Maria Teresa Ferrari, who actually tailored the tour based on what we wanted to see and learn. We were able to skip some of the more difficult lines and processes, it was all sorted for us. It was so worth the few extra $ from both a time, relationship and target perspective. We felt like we were with family. Another special event Marmi set up for us was a dinner at a wonderful Villa outside of Rome. If you have the opportunity for a homemade Italian Country Dinner , at a B&B Villa it is so worth it, and all for about the same cost a as dinner in the city. Leslie Poleri is an amazing chef, with a warm wonderful house, plus a really cool Etruscan cave. We left Rome, blessed, happy and well taken care of. The apartment was wonderful, and we have some new friends for our next visit. If there was room for 10 stars I would post a such.. Now go book it, enjoy this wonderful city, amazing hospitality, with a trusted advisor, and friend.

Excellent Roma Experience

We were planning our first trip to Italy and to Rome, and my son said he was most interested in being near the Coliseum, which led to me find Marmi and Casalilli. It could not have worked out better! We only had two days, and Marmi was a huge help before we ever got there. She set up our transfer from the train station, a driver to tour us around to many of the famous sights on our first day, obtained tickets and an excellent guide for the Vatican our second day, and our transfer to the airport when we left. About the apartment, Casalilli. It is exactly as described but it was a lot more spacious than I imagined. All the rooms were very generously sized. The apartment is very pretty, nicely and comfortably furnished, and really shows how much thought Marmi has given to making it comfortable for her renters. We were two couple traveling together, and it was perfect, particularly having the second bathroom. The apartment is very well situated, on a quiet street and easy walking distance to the Coliseum. Our driver was waiting when we got off the train, and Marmi was waiting at the apartment when we got there to show us around the apartment. A special touch is that she bought us a very delicious Panettone that came in very handy for snack and breakfast. The kitchen was very well outfitted, though we didn’t do more than have coffee and tea because we wanted to try the local restaurants. Our touring days were incredible. Luga was our driver the first day, and he obviously knows his way around very well and took us to many interesting sites that we were able to tour without having the worry about being with a large group or having to navigate Rome. That was very well worth the cost, which was not prohibitive anyway. We told him we hoped to get into the Coliseum that afternoon so he left us at one of the lesser used entrances which allowed us to bypass the long main line at the Coliseum. Our second day Marmi arranged for a driver to take us to the Vatican where we were met by our tour guide. She had the tickets and we were able to enter without waiting in any line, and 30 minutes before the general public. She was extremely knowledgeable about the Vatican, the Sistene Chapel, St. Peter’s Cathedral, and St. Peter’s Square, and we all learned so much and came away with a great appreciation of the history. In summary, while Casalilli was a perfect place to stay, it was all made better because of Marmi’s great sense of how best to spend our time.

We loved our stay in this apartment. We were walkable to restaurants and some attractions and yet the neighbourhood was quiet and felt quite safe. We also enjoyed having the little balcony as a place to have our coffee in the morning. It worked very well for two couples. Marmi was a very helpful host and was quick to answer any questions we had.

Our family of 4 stayed at this quaint apartment and had a lovely stay. Beds were super comfy, outdoor area was great for breakfast and doing laundry. Great wifi as my husband had to work and our streaming sites worked great. 2 bathrooms with 2 showers was a game changer. Worth every penny

Lovely Stay

I took my son to Rome for his 18th bday in March. I didn't want to stay in a hotel for a variety of reasons, but one being price. The second, we wanted to have a kitchen and the experience of living like a local. We found the apt safe, large, and providing all we needed. I stayed in spring and used the heat a couple times. I was able to store my luggage in the AM until the 2pm check in time. I did have to use google translate to communicate with the checkin lady. The apartment is spacious and in a location near restaurants and the Colosseum. If you want piazza life, then stay elsewhere. Coffee nearby: Cafe Antica Roma. Excellent cappuccinos and pastries. Order your coffee and food, then pay. Gelato nearby: We preferred to walk further for gelato at Il di Constanza vs at the end of the street. You will walk a ton to see things other than the Colosseum. We opted to do Uber (selecting the taxi option), to see various areas because the 30-40 min walks were a but much after so many days. We selected the host's option for an airport transfer. Was efficient but a bit pricey compared to Uber's.

Great place for 4

Overall the property was great for our 2 couples. The apartment is on a quiet street, but just a few blocks from the Colosseum, which was great. We had a hickup with the guided tour booked by the host, but she rectified the issue to everyone's satisfaction. Would stay here again for sure. Ciao clean which is

Great Location in Rome

The apartment is only a few blocks from the Colosseum yet it is located on a street that is relatively quiet. It was a great launching point for our days in Rome. Marmi, the host, arranged for a car from the train station and greeted us upon arrival at the apartment. She is very personable and was very responsive to any questions we had (both while we were there and in advance of our stay). The pictures of the apartment in the listing give you a good idea of the apartment. There is also a patio that gives you an outdoor space. It's a great spot in Rome to stay. The only issue we had was that an adjacent apartment was undergoing a rehab so there was construction noise on the weekdays, but we weren't at the apartment much in the daytime anyway. You might want to check with Marmi on the status of that if you're planning to stay sometime soon. We highly recommend this apartment and thank Marmi for being such a good host.
