Rome Vacation Rentals are a great way to visit the beautiful, historic city without having to pay expensive hotel rates. Of course, that's only if you're willing to stay in a tiny studio apartment with hardly any amenities. If you want to stay in a fancy villa like the Appia Antica, you're going to have to pay through the nose. It will make luxury hotel rates seem like chump change. What if you want more than that though? What if you want to be able to experience the majestic Villa di Fiorano for just a short while and see what it's like to live like a king?
Fortunately, there are ways to stay in the fanciest Rome Vacation Rentals for less than you would pay to stay in a 3 star hotel, but it requires a little flexibility on your part. One option is to try to snatch up the last minute deals that become available and leave that night, though that's hardly the right way to start a vacation. Instead, you need to find the rental owners directly and make a deal through them. This is not nearly as hard as it seems, and could land you a week in a Roman Castle like the Monteporzio Villa, for the same rates you would pay for a studio apartment rental.
The key is to avoid rental agencies, because they have maximum profits in mind. Their goal is to make a ton of money at your expense, and they'll share a portion with the owner. However, by using sites like Facebook, you can very easily locate the owner and cut out the middle man. Since they do not lose any money in the deal, they have no problem allowing you to stay in their large home for the same amount they would be paid by the agency. The result is that you get to choose from the most amazing Rome Vacation Rentals like the 6 bedroom Campo de' Fiori, which comes with a mesmerizing balcony view of Piazza Cinque Scole.
