My boyfriend and I, both in our mid-20s, had a wonderful two-night stay at Pettinary Village B&B. We found the room to be impeccable - very clean and well appointed, with tasteful and attractive furnishings. You can tell a lot of attention is given to details. The bathroom was small but sufficient and certainly decorated to feel elegant. Though the shower was small, water pressure was good and there was always enough hot water.

There is no elevator in the building, but the unit is on the 3rd floor and the stairs were no problem for us.

Breakfast was well provided for - fresh fruit, jams and bread, yogurt, milk and cereal, a cappuccino machine and a thoughtful selection of teas were always available and replenished.

We enjoyed the terrace in the evenings. It was a quiet and relatively private spot to relax.

We dealt primarily with Fabiana, and found her to be a pleasant and attentive host, without being overly intrusive. She was available when we needed to ask her something and always tried her best to help us out. At the same time, we were able to come and go as we pleased without always feeling obligated to stop and make conversation.

One point that should be noted is that this B&B is part of their apartment unit, though it is located down the hall from their entrance. Therefore you can hear the hosts and their young son as they go about their everyday lives. Also, every time you come and go you do pass by the entrance to their living quarters. We did not find this to be a problem.

The B&B is excellently located close to the Campo de' Fiori (5 min) and Piazza Navona (10 min), making all the main sites of Rome within walking distance. Being directly at the river Tiber all the delicious restaurants of Trastevere are a short walk away.

We very much enjoyed our stay here and will be recommending this place to our friends and family. We hope to return soon!!

As others have mentioned, this B&B is actually an apartment next door to Alex and Fabiana. They are wonderful hosts that make you feel like you're staying with friends.
You walk in to a hallway with a table, chairs, mini fridge, microwave & espresso maker. The bathroom is fairly typical for Europe. The bedroom area isn't really large, but I think the tall ceilings and nice furnishings make it feel just the right size. The little terrace with table and chairs are icing on the cake. It's a great place to eat breakfast or enjoy a glass of wine at night.
While the apartment is on a busy street, you don't really know that once you're in the apartment since it's on the back side. The only noise we heard was during the day while children were playing on their porches.
The location is really nice since you're in the middle of most of the sights. While I wish Rome had a better metro system that would extend it out to this area, the tram worked well for us.
Overall, I would recommend this apartment b/c of the charm of the owners and the room. We would most definitely stay here again.

We spent two full weeks on this, our second stay, at Pettinary Village B&B. There is only one guest room at this B&B.

Pettinary Village B&B is located just steps from the Campo di Fiori, in the very heart of the historic center of Rome. The room is very nice, a bit small, but nicely furnished. The bed is very comfortable. The bath is immaculately clean and functional. There is a small kitchen with a table & chairs, a fridge, microwave oven, espresso maker, etc. And there is a nice balcony, with another table & chairs overlooking an interior courtyard. It is located on a busy, tiny, noisy street, but the apartment itself is very quiet.

This small apartment lets you feel like you are really living in Rome, not just camping at a hotel. It is really very nice.

Alessandro, Fabiana, Little Pietro, and Hamletto (the dog) are wonderful hosts and very helpful. They are now our friends.

Given the extremely high price of most hotels in Rome, Pettinary Village B&B is a great value.

We will certainly stay there again.

I loved it here..... it's small, quiet, affordable, and couldn't be in a better location!

My daughter and I stayed for a week, Alessandor and Fabiana were as helpful as they could be! Fabiana kept us well stocked with espresso and everything we needed....

You get a nice bathroom, bed, TV, and kitchenette that has a micorwave and a small frigde..and you get A/C which you don't need too much b/c you can open your doors b/c you are overlooking a quiet piazza.. so no sound of the city bothers you at night..

I can't wait to come back to Rome just so I can stay here again..... you are a 20 minute walk from everything! and the room is worth every euro!

Thank you Fabiana and Alex for the great stay in Rome!
