After some great advice from this Forum, we have decided to stay put in Rome for 5 nights before traveling to Poggio (Chianti region) for a week at a villa. We have heard that it would make more sense to stay in an apartment in Rome rather than a hotel. I have looked at all the sites but would welcome ideas/recommendations for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children ages 12 and 14) as to location or even specific properties. Reasonably priced if possible. Can anyone help??

Stayed here last May in the "penthouse" Pink apartment. Beautiful terrace and very nice rooms.

We loved this apartment. Very safe, very convenient, great location, and Natalia and Walter are willing to help with anything you need.
