Emma's Apartment Borgo, Vatican City

What guests think

Across reviews, Emma's Apartment Borgo, Vatican City is praised for its excellent, walkable location near St. Peter's and restaurants, consistent cleanliness, and responsive hosts who communicate well and assist with check-in and transport, making city exploring easy.

Many appreciate the cozy interior and private outdoor space, though the residence feels older and space can be tight for four. Several reviews report Wi-Fi outages, air conditioning that doesn't cool the bedroom well, and door locks that take practice. Best for independent travelers who prefer an apartment setup over full-service amenities.

Close to everything! We had a great time, excellent responsiveness. The apartment was comfortable and clean. Outdoor space is a nice feature. Great restaurants nearby. Doors can be challenging to open. We would stay here again.

Property was clean, walkable to everything around. Bathroom was clean too which is super important to me. It was very hot and the a/c unit that was in the front room didn't cool the bedroom part, so couldn't sleep for most part. They did not communicate their WiFi had problems and it was very difficult to find anything without Wi-Fi connection. These days Wi-Fi is super important, to find places, directions, tours everything almost! This problem should've been told upfront as I would've found another place or got a SIM card.

Perfect location for a visit to St Peter's Basilica and exploring the wonderful food of Rome. Very clean and comfortable. Perfect place to stay if you want to be in the center of things. Things are smaller than modern apartments but that is to be expected. And you will have to pick up some paper products down the block. Positives far outweigh the minor negatives.

Very clean and bright. Our host was very gracious and helpful. We stayed in early September while it was mid 90 degrees and the AC kept us cool at night so we could sleep. More than a good value! a steal!

Very clean, quaint, and cute!! Booked for a week stay visiting a cousin and was perfect! She stayed with me a few days and it fit us comfortably. It was in a great location near restaurants and shops while being only a short walk from the vatican. Easy walk to bus/taxi areas for longer travel distances Check in was easy with Valerio and he was so polite as he welcomed me into the apartment. Highly recommend for those who are traveling solo who want a cozy, clean spot!

My husband and I had a couple of days planned here after a cruise prior to our return home. The location was key in our decision. It was a fifteen minute walk to the Vatican museum, seven minutes to the Basilica. The property was very comfortable and clean. We appreciate that! Kitchen offerings were great and made it easy to bring take out food there to reheat. We were just tired of eating out by that time on our trip!

Rooms

Rooms are comfortable and cozy with appreciated outdoor space; however, several note the residence is older, space can feel tight for groups, and AC may not cool the bedroom as well as the lounge. Door locks can be tricky initially.

The apartment was very comfortable and really well-located (we love Borgo Vittorio!). A bit cramped for two adults and two teens, but we knew that going in and it was fine for a short stay. Pierfrancesco and Valerio were excellent hosts. We miss Rome already!

The location was amazing and just down the road to Vatican City. The main reason for the lower rating was it was so hot in the bedroom as fan did nothing and aircon only impacted the lounge area. Aircon also dripped leaving a puddle in living room. Great as a base if you don’t mind a rustic feel.

What a lovely little surprise so near the Vatican and Sant Angelo! Not far to cross the river to Pantheon, Spanish Steps, and Trestavere! There were 4 of us in this darling little gem. We were welcomed upon arrival, enjoyed his explanation of where to go, and how to get around. We loved the outdoor area and thankful for the air conditioning! Highly recommend. Quiet yet lovely neighborhood with food options nearby!

Emmas apartment was in a great location, I stayed with my teenage daughter. Was a safe and easy area to walk around. Close to everything we needed. Apartment was clean. Water in shower was a bit slow to drain and the front door can be tricky. The highlight of the apartment was the little private terrace

We have just completed our Rome stay. You can’t beat the location of this room. Right near the Vatican, a square with many restaurants and shops, and within 30 minutes of all monuments. Owners were very attentive.The only thing was that the WiFi didn’t work the whole time we were there, but that didn’t hinder our stay. Highly recommend to anyway wanting an authentic Roman stay.

Communication with Valerio was excellent and we were able to get in earlier to the apartment by an hour and a half so we could see more of Rome. Once we got the hang of opening the doors we used the washer and the apartment was clean and close to the grocery store, shopping and eating at restaurants! They even helped us getting a driver to get us to the airport! Kudos to all!

The apartment is really nice, it could use a TV in the bedroom, but that is my personal preference. They are great communicating with their guest. They arranged transportation to and from the airport, with a great driver and reasonable price. The one issue I had, was on the 2nd day there was dog poop right in front the outside entrance door and no one cleaned it even after notifying management. They stated it there was nothing they can do, which really surprised me. Walking and jumping around it put a damper on out would have been an outstanding and excellent stay.
