Minerva's Treasure

I've read other comments and the satisfaction and comments all apply. A great place. Only note as I review the owner notes under "Plan" on the top ribbon is that the floor plan shown fails to show the second bathroom has been remodeled to now include a shower (tiny) where the sink is shown.

We could not have been more pleased with this beautiful little apartment! From the start, our hosts were eminently helpful and responsive. Rome Value Transfer is reliable and our driver, Omar was friendly and courteous. Minerva's Treasure is beautifully furnished and comfortable. Located next to the Tiber three blocks from Piazza del Popolo, it is 20 minutes, more or less, on foot, to most of the important sites. The Metro is 7 minutes away, just across the Piazza and is very user friendly. We did have one minor issue. Although the hosts supply fresh Lavazza coffee which we adore, we have never been successful trying to use MOKA espresso makers and the electric coffee maker was badly calcified and took forever to brew. When we left I pointed this out to our host and I'm confident that the problem will be rectified. A word about the immediate neighborhood, you are surrounded by excellent restaurants!

We stayed with our friends in Minerva’s Treasure for 6 nights and we all greatly enjoyed the comfortable space and convenient location. Our host was very helpful upon arrival and checked in should we need anything.

We just wanted you to know that we were very happy with our apartment in Rome and delighted with your wonderful suggestions of darling Cristina and Rocco’s driving company! We saw a great deal of amazing Rome and benefited from 2 Airport pickups by Raimondo and a trip to the train station today, along with a few trips in Rome. Also, thank you for your restaurant suggestions- we ate amazingly well!

Minerva’s Treasure is perfectly Rome! This is a terrific apartment furnished beautifully. The paintings and personal touches added to a feeling of home. The location is wonderful with great restaurants and a small market just around the corner. Even though the kitchen is small, we managed just fine cooking up a dinner for 3 several times. After all, this is an incredible older building and it just adds to your stay. We would visit this apartment again and again if possible. Check in was easy and we found very nice treats to welcome us including a bottle of delicious wine. We appreciated everything.

We were so pleased with our choice of the Minerva's Treasure apartment. It looks exactly like the photos and our stay got off to a great start with the sweet greeter welcoming us at the apartment, showing us how to use the appliances, explaining things and best of all with a bottle of wine, cookies, juice and a cold bottle of water in the fridge. Great way to start our stay! It was hot in Rome and the A/C worked wonderfully well. Liked having two full bathrooms, they are not large but done in high quality marble, what more can you want when in the best part of the center of Rome! Kitchen was just perfect for us. Supermarket is a short walk & we enjoyed breakfast each morning in the apartment before heading out to explore Rome. Back bedroom is super quiet. Front bedroom and living room get traffic noise from street that parallels the river but Lisa had explained that so we knew to expect it. Favorite neighborhood restaurants were Buca di Ripetta and and Pizza Re. Both just 2 blocks away. Thank you Italy Perfect for a perfect stay in Rome!

This was our second stay at Minerva's Treasure. Love the location, we love to walk so we were up early each morning and walked 4 miles in the Borghese Gardens which is about a 5 minute walk from the apartment, before the heat of the day, such a wonderful way to experience Rome. Also like that there is a taxi stand in nearby Piazza del Popolo, so convenient. Living room is so elegant, and sofa long enough for good naps! Apartment has a good layout and it is in a quality, well maintained building. Also good water pressure in the showers, something that can be problematic in parts of Rome. Can't wait to return again. Grazie Pat, Lisa and Daniela for taking such good care of us!

Nice apartment with comfortable living areas located near the Piazza del Popolo. The kitchen is small but fine, especially if you are not going to cook. Only a mokka, a traditional Italian coffee maker. The bedrooms were fine but not really enough places for luggage, so i used the living room area to open my bags. Closets were fine with enough hangers, etc. Could use another lamp in the front bedroom. The air conditioning worked very well and were in each room. Great to have! The Bathrooms were very well designed for the small area they had to use. Everything was on the small side especially the shower but really fine. Easy to access the inside courtyard, used for parking their cars, but it was rather dark outside street entrance at night. Best to take a taxi home at late night if you are a single on your own. The apartment had maps for our use and some info on nearby restaurants which is very helpful for first time visitors in this area of Rome. [Thank you so much for your kind review, Jeanne. We are happy you enjoyed the apartment and location. It is a traditional city apartment so compact in size as you mostly find in Rome. There is an American drip coffee maker, sorry you overlooked it.]

Schönes Appartement und nette, sehr hilfreiche Unterstützung von Gastgeberin Daniela. Nice apartment and nice, very helpful support from hostess Daniela.

We stayed at Minerva's Treasure Apartment. The location is ideal. Easy to walk to the Spanish Steps and surrounding area. The CASA restaurant just a few steps away from the apartment is delightful - simple surroundings but delicious food. The apartment was spacious but it lacked some of the features I have seen in Paris Perfect apartments. The linens and towels were very poor quality and there were no extras. The greeter was helpful but all the information was a bit overwhelming given the jet lag. The driver Rocco was reliable and pleasant. I would recommend this apartment and the Italy Perfect team. Great trip. Thank you. [Thank you Martha, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay and will look into replacing the towels. The Italy Perfect Team]

I just returned from spending a month at MINERVA’S TREASURE in Rome, Italy. Every step of the way working with Italy Perfect was indeed PERFECT. The moment I arrived I was met by the most amazing greeter Daniela who walked me through everything I needed to know about the unit and the area. She was patient and took her time answering any questions I had. The apartment was spotless and beautifully decorated. The bed/mattress was extremely comfortable. The restaurants Daniela recommended were all superb. Casa Restaurant was steps away and so so delicious but just a few blocks away were other amazing eateries and shops. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots, pans and utensils that I needed to prepare some delicious meals for myself during my stay. The location was perfect in every way. I walked everywhere. What a plus having a washer/dryer in the apartment. Rare in Italy.The Wifi was excellent so I was able to respond to work daily. I highly recommend using Italy Perfect as your vacation rental experts. I also have used Paris Perfect in the past. Two well run companies. [Thank you Carol, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]

Perfect spot for our family for a week in Rome! We were met at the apartment by Daniela and she was extremely helpful with information about the apartment and the area, Everything was very clean and the apartment was well appointed. Perfect spot to return to after sightseeing in the area. Best part was a great restaurant called Casa just right outside the door. Highly recommend it if you stay at this spot.

We liked this apartment very much. The location is excellent. The furniture and apartment, in general, exceeded photos. [Thank you so much. The Italy Perfect Team]

Had a wonderful trip. Apartment was great. Nice location, thanks for all the restaurant tips. Having an apartment for a week allowed us to spread out and relax really appreciated that ability.

Overall, the accommodations were fantastic. the location was perfectly situated near many shops, grocery stores and was a local neighborhood so it was less touristy so the restaurants were more authentic to what locals enjoy. This apartment was well appointed with comfortable bedding, well lit, very roomy. We were extremely comfortable and felt safe and secure in this location and appreciated this recommendation from ItalyPerfect and the greeter was very kind and helped with any questions we had. We highly recommend this apartment to friends and family!! We highly recommend using MyTaxi to help with transportations. We never waited more than 5 minutes and the app took care of the charges. We do recommend the front windows to be double insulated or something to help block the street noise. [Thank you Burt, we are pleased you enjoyed your stayed. The Italy Perfect Team]

My husband and I had a great stay at this beautiful apartment. Pat at Italy Perfect was super helpful in our choice of unit and area. Our greeter at the apartment was waiting for us on arrival and was very nice and informative.The apartment is lovely and in a great area. The pre-arrival info is very helpful. I would definitely recommend Italy Perfect and Minerva's Treasure. P.s. We enjoyed Il Buca dei Ripetta around the corner and Emma's was great! [Thank you, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]

Minerva's Treasure was truly a pleasure to stay in. The apartment is bright, very nicely furnished and so well located. Our greeter Daniela was a delight, so sweet and helpful. We would stay here again and would recommend the fine services of Italy Perfect.
