Heaven on earth, just outside Rome (but you can literally take the Via Appia directly to the city like an old Roman if you want). This place was so good that I basically skipped half of the city sightseeing attractions to relax at the pool and the garden. Very friendly hosts, very friendly dogs. Definitely recommended when you visit the city for several days and you are not in a hurry.

“Short but perfect”

Beautiful place not far from the city center, good public transportation. Calm, quiet. The owners are very kind and welcoming. The property is guarded by threes cute and friendly dogs.

“Fabulous”

Just the most relaxed happy environment to be in beautiful surroundings the host we’re just so lovely. Thank you

“We adored the friendship of the owners and the other guests”

A superb garden space with the rooms set beautifully

“The most perfect destination, setting, facilitates and hosts!”

Where to start?? Appia Antica Cottage is the perfect honeymoon destination!! From the moment we first made contact with Andrea and Federica , to saying goodbye at the airport (yes , they even collect and drop you back to the airport!) everything was smooth and so welcoming. The absolute perfect hosts-along with their gorgeous family of dogs who add to the homely feel of the destination. We honestly felt like we were staying with friends. The property is in the most beautiful area of Rome, surrounded by history, close to the major attractions, but far enough away to provide complete tranquility. The facilities were exceptional-beautifully decorated cottages with a sense of rustic, Italian charm. WiFi and TV were available but tbh we didn’t really use these as there is so much else to occupy you-not least, relaxing by the pool , listening to the birds in extensive grounds. Thoughtfully placed garden furniture ensure you can enjoy the sun whilst having access to shade if you prefer. The hosts were always available for a chat, help or a history lesson about the area! Andrea, in particular sharing his passion and knowledge of Antica Appia and the whole of Rome! Little touches like the breakfast cottage with a fully stocked kitchen, the availability of a coffee , wine or a local beer, menus of nearby restaurants (Andrea will even book a table or call for take away if your prefer to eat in the gardens) , clear instructions written in English for transport into the city, and even providing initial bus tickets for your first trip! Nothing was too much trouble for these incredible hosts whilst you stay in their beautiful home. We loved every single moment.

“Wonderful”

Owners are exceptionally nice, always available if needed. The villa is a real piece of heaven, beautiful dogs, the perfect spot to relax and chill. Everything was perfect, we are definitely coming back.

Excellent service, nice people. Separate house, small but comfortable. We could use everything that was provided (we used the kitchen, the grill outside). Excellent, clean pool. Also special thanks for the transfer from and to the airport!

“Absolutely fantastic- will recommend to all our friends”

The location is fantastic, only 30 minutes into central Rome but feels like you are in a private oasis miles away. Andrea and Fredericka were absolutely perfect hosts with lots of tips and advice on how to spend our time in the city. Our favourite day was renting the bikes and cycling up to the catacombs.

“Surreal stay!”

Tucked away in the heart of Rome’s timeless charm, this bnb was an unexpected gem. We stayed for a week at Appia Antica Cottage, and every moment felt thoughtfully curated—from the sun-dappled garden corners perfect for a quiet read, to the cozy kitchen stocked all things necessary. When my wife came down with a bit of an unwell stretch, the hosts were nothing short of angels—gracious, attentive, and genuinely kind. Their warmth (and their three delightful dogs) made it feel less like a rental and more like a home away from home. With the whispers of ancient history all around and nature at your doorstep, this stay beautifully blended Roman magic with heartfelt hospitality.

“Highly recommended”

Beautiful tranquil place away from the hustle and bustle of Rome but very close to the centre!! Very good spot!! The hosts were great!! Very warm and welcoming!! They have a beautiful place and their hospitality is a huge added bonus!! Had some great conversations with the host! We would stay again!!!

Super nice folks, cute dogs, super nice apartments, really looking forward to come back again!!

“perfect”

“A little piece of paradise”

Kitchen was well supplied with breakfast, facilities exceptional, pool area lovely and relaxing after a long day. Beautiful property, room was fine just what we needed. Clean, tidy, comfy. Hosts friendly and happy to help with anything you might need. We loved the dogs!

Loved the charming property! It is a quiet and serene place to stay. The pool area is perfect to hang out and stay cool. There's a cute little kitchen to have your breakfast and nice places to sit and eat around the pool area. The couple are very lovely and helpful, and their 3 dogs are adorable! It takes a bit of transit to get there, but the buses came on time, and overall, it was pretty easy getting around! We would definitely go back!

“Excellent place to unwind and visit the historical Appia antica. Countryside near the city.”

Very warm hosts who told us great stories of the historical area and offered us many tips and practical help. They also checked in regularly to see if there was anything we needed. Room was very cosy, crisp and comfortable.

“Weekend break”

The hosts are lovely and very helpful. For a B&B it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It made for a very relaxing trip.

“A wonderful stay was with the most brilliant kind hosts and beautiful dogs! Will be back! X”

Beautiful and well maintained.

“The most beautiful accommodation we’ve ever stayed in. 100% would recommend to anyone!”

The property was absolutely stunning - for such a busy city visit it was exceptional to be able to come back to such a quiet, peaceful home for the duration of our stay. Federica and Andréa are the loveliest couple you will ever meet, they made us feel very welcome and at home. They went above and beyond with helping us navigate the local buses and metro lines, even going as far as giving us free bus/metro tickets for our first few journeys to and from Rome. The rooms were perfect and the venue was beautiful. We stayed for 7 nights and have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. We would 100% come and stay again. The dogs were also lovely, one of them would come and greet us every morning when we opened our little cottage window. It really was our home for the week, rather than just a place to sleep.

Beautiful property and location and lovely hosts

“Good accommodation with great hosts. Short drive into the centre of Rome!”

Hosts were incredibly friendly and really useful- gave us loads of tips and advice for travelling into Rome. He suggested driving into Rome due to the Roman population being on holiday in August, so we were able to park in central Rome for 8 euros for the whole day- without the hosts advice we wouldn't have known this! There is secure parking onsite with a fob operated gate, with CCTV and very friendly, security dogs :) room was clean, hosts provided us with water as it was over 38 degrees when we got there. Kitchen facilities were good, which meant we could make our own dinner :)
