Villas in Primavalle
Our Primavalle homes are in fact in Aurelio, next door, a residential quarter bordering Vatican City that suits families wanting space. Homes sleep four to six on the whole. You give up old-centre atmosphere: the piazzas across the Tiber mean a bus or metro ride.

About Primavalle
Aurelio takes its name from the Via Aurelia and is one of Rome's first fifteen quarters, marked out in 1911. It borders Vatican City to the north, with the Leonine walls separating it from Borgo, and many streets are named after popes and cardinals. This is a lived-in district of about 40,000 people, with neighbourhood churches such as San Gregorio VII and San Pio V rather than headline sights. Metro line A runs out this way towards Battistini, the terminus serving Primavalle, with Cornelia and Baldo degli Ubaldi among the stations on that stretch. Primavalle proper, a borgata built in the late 1930s, is the neighbouring quarter to the west. The homes mostly have two bedrooms, and none has a pool or garden.

- Best for
