Renting an apt. in Rome for 7 people

[starwhite2]

This is not specifically a cruise question. My friend's grandson is singing at the Vatican on New Year's Day. She wants to rent an apartment for 7 people from about Dec. 26 to Jan. 2. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'll post this on Fodors and TA also. Thanks.

Lucky boy! Sounds like a wonderful opportunity to sing at the Vatican.

Try this website. I have dealt with them in the past, although I was never able to get a group to actually rent an apt. for. They are great to deal with. Good luck!

The Slowtravel site, and its message board Slowtalk, are specifically geared to rentals. They have a lot of information, including reviews, on apartments in Italy and elsewhere in Europe.

Just a note that larger apartments are more difficult to find, so it may take a little more looking.

You can also try VRBO.com 'vacation rentals by owner', always have had great luck with them.

We have stayed in Rome apts. several times. I always book with the Bed& Breakfast association of Rome http://www.b-b.rm.it They have a very user friendly web-site. You make your selection depending on the area of Rome where you want to stay. You pay a deposit through your credit card and the rest is paid to the owner on arrival. We have been very satisfied with this arrangement and we are doing it again in just a few days.

YES, we've used this website for Rome and in many other parts of Europe. Loved it! You have to search and look at the pictures as each location is different. Our place in Rome was a large apartment that had been part of an 1800's building used by a Cardinal. Interesting building and great location.

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

I'm using these guys for my trip next summer. They have been great to deal with so far.
