Rent An Apartment & Save Money On Your Rome Holiday

By Leonardi Di-Capris

Before you head off on your next holiday trip to Rome, you need to think about a few things, including accommodations. The majority of people default to a stay in a major hotel chain, often because they don't know they have alternatives. A self catered holiday apartment could make your trip to this great city much more interesting.

Apartments in Rome have a lot of things to offer that you can't find in your average hotel. You'll pay less for more space by renting an apartment, and you'll get the same kind of control over your space that you'd have at home. Hotel living simply can't offer the amount of comfort and freedom you'll get by choosing apartments instead.

Have you ever been irritated by the cramped conditions you find in most hotel rooms, the cost of getting a suite for more space, and the need to eat out wherever you go while on holiday? You're not alone - many other people find that they'd rather stay somewhere that feels more like home, even if it requires just a little more work on their part. That's why the private kitchen, opportunity to shop at local markets, and laundry facilities of a self-catered apartment are so appealing.

Don't like dealing with housekeepers coming into your space on a daily basis when you're in a hotel? You're not alone - many people choose apartments because there's less intrusion into their lives. Additional services are available in Rome apartments if you ask, but you don't have to deal with them if you don't want to, making them a good choice both for those who like some hotel amenities and those who'd rather not bother with them.

Choose an apartment with a balcony or terrace and dine outside, with a magnificent ancient skyline as a backdrop. Live like a local, enjoying your own space and your own home. You'll get more privacy, laundry facilities, and you'll get the chance to experience Rome the way that citizens do, not as a tourist!

There are a few things you'll need to do differently, of course. Make sure that you know when to expect linen changes and cleaning, be aware that there's no 24 hour front desk (though you can still call to get assistance during the day) and book extra services ahead of time to ensure the best experience. Take the time to learn about your options for groceries in the area, so you can enjoy the benefits of doing your own local shopping, too.

Remember to plan your departures and arrivals with care, so that bag storage doesn't become a problem. Most travelers in apartments choose an arrival time in the mid-afternoon, and fly back out in the morning to keep there from being a problem with availability. Remember to plan in advance and notify everyone if you need to check in late or early.

If you know what you can expect, and you're prepared for it when you arrive, you could find that a holiday apartment is the perfect answer to all your travel problems. No matter what kind of traveler you are or who's with you, you can benefit from trying out a holiday apartment. Just take the time to find out about it before you leave - a holiday apartment could be the perfect choice on your next trip to Rome. - 30213
