Roman Reference has operated since 1997 and is the leader website for Rome vacation rentals.
Our website has no hidden fees and applies a commission, included in the price you see, of 14 to 30% + VAT depending on the owner's will to collaborate. An owner who actively collaborates, ie: activates and implement the 'instant booking', apdates the calendar independently and takes care of his own check ins, gets the minimum commission and the other way 'round. Our rates are strictly without any hidden charges. VAT is included and we make sure to clarify that we offer no breakfast or services other than accommodation. Contracts can be signed electronically online. Over 95% of the apartments in Rome are visited by our representative before being admitted into the listing.
The search engine gives you a choice of 13 different criteria to sort out the best suited accommodation in Rome center. Website content is very informative, with client's feedbacks and rating on each Rome apartment and detailed information on its amenities and the whereabouts on the area. Most of our listings, those indicated as Instant Booking, will give you the possibility of an immediate booking confirmation. Prices are chosen on the base of our software which is studied to keep a few points below our competitors to give you the best deal in an automated way.
Here is how Sylvie Hogg in Pauline Frommer's Italy guide 'Spend less see more' defines us:
Roman Reference is the best all-around apartment rental agency in Rome. Their no-surpirses property descriptions even include the 'eco-footprint' for each apartment (how much energy it consumes). You can expect transparency and responsiveness from the plain-dealing staff. I recently stayed in apartment 366 and it transported me back to my full-time Roman resident days like no hotel could ever do!"
