This apartment may be in the heart of Rome, but there’s something distinctly country-chic about the decor. Period pieces – dressers, doors and the kitchen table – are all rough white-washed and feel rustic. The sound system is vintage, and the armchairs in the living room are upholstered in gloriously kitsch floral patterns. The jewel in the crown of the apartment is the sprawling outdoor terrace, which has sofas in sunny spots for a dose of vitamin D, and shaded nooks under parasols for when the heat gets too much. The bamboo pergola covered a couple of outdoor gas hobs, so you can cook and dine alfresco. Flowers and pot plants bloom for every corner and climb trellises for a bit of privacy. If you want to know just how central you are, just head out to the downstairs balcony and spot the Colosseum at the end of your street.

You couldn’t ask for a better location in Rome than this apartment, which looks directly onto the iconic Colosseum. The apartment is modern and stylish, with designer furniture and a luxurious vibe. We love the high ceilings, which reach over 5 metres, and how bright and welcoming this home feels. There’s a convenient kitchen, though you’ll have your pick of Roman restaurants right on your doorstep if you don’t feel like cooking. Convenient, chic, and comfortable – what more could you ask for?

You know what they say – location is everything. Well, if that's true, you can't do much better than Monti. Some of Rome's most famous sights are only ten minutes away on foot – The Colosseum and The Forums – yet this neighbourhood is anything but a tourist trap. There's an authentic atmosphere in this part of town, with plenty of traditional eateries, vintage stores and chic wine bars loved by locals. It's also pretty quiet, all things considered. You'll find this apartment on a pretty street, only a few steps from Parco del Colle Oppio. With a bright living area, stylish bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms, this home is a calm place to escape the hustle and bustle. Pour yourself a glass of Italy's finest wine and relax on the sofa or around the glass dining table. If you're in the mood to rustle up a meal, the compact kitchen has plenty of dishes and culinary gear, though it's on the smaller side. There's even a desk in the second bedroom if you need to check work emails, but if it were up to us, we'd spend every day sipping espresso in one of the cafes, basking in the magic of Rome.

Odes & Symphonies

No monument captures the spirit of Rome quite as like the Colosseum, and being as close to the amphitheatre as this home is a real privilege. Just six minutes (on foot) to the emblematic attraction, and a traditional local area full of authentic eateries and beautiful tangerine buildings – you're perfectly placed here. Back home, you'll find a sociable open-plan living room, kitchen and dining area benefitting from sleek grey floors, tasteful artwork of the city by night and plenty of natural light pouring in. Wandering through the home, you'll notice a collection of art and literature books, quirky adornments and funky printed wallpapers in the bedrooms. There, those who are working from home during their stay will be able to power through emails at the dedicated desk spaces. The other thing that really makes the flat stick out is Simona and her hosting. She’s an absolute delight and will do everything possible to make your stay as good as it can be.

Oh, the view from this Roman home – we go weak at the knees every time we see it. It makes a good case for the best in the city. Who wouldn't want to wake up to the vistas of the magnificent Colosseum? We can imagine on warm summers evening opening up the windows and drinking a glass of prosecco while admiring this ancient amphitheatre set against a red sky. Let's not forget the interiors here, though – they are lovely and fit in perfectly with the old-world grandeur that emanates from Rome. We especially adore the marble-clad bathrooms and plush velvet fabrics, all chosen by a Count. If you can tear yourself away from the windows, history lovers can walk to the Basilica di San Clemente in under five minutes, while St. Peter's Square can be reached in a quarter of an hour.

What a great location this lovely home has – it's just a six-minute stroll from Emperor Nero's Golden House (Domus Aurea), while the Colosseum is eight minutes on foot and the Roman Forum is ten.

Back at this apartment, housed in a 19th-century building, there's a wonderful terrace with a comfy sofa, which is just what you need after a day exploring the Eternal City. There's a dining table here too, perfect for alfresco suppers of cacio e pepe (a Roman staple of pasta, pepper and cheese). Inside, we love that there's a lot of natural light, which helps the trendy Sansevieria plants to thrive. Mix up a Campari in the modern kitchen and relax on the plush purple sofa – bliss.

Decked out in intense colours and on the fourth floor with no lift, Gladiator Stripes isn’t one for the faint-hearted. We’re big fans of the look though, and it’s clear that the place is very well-kept. The host, Mary, also pushes the boat out when it comes to service - there’s a daily cleaning service and someone at reception until 11pm, as well as free laundry, great breakfast options, and recommendations of all the places tourists don’t know about.


Gladiator Stripes

When it comes to location, you could hardly ask for a more convenient spot to be than this bright and modern apartment, situated just moments away from the Forum and the Colosseum. At the same time, you’ll benefit from being slightly removed from the main tourist tracks, able to immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of one of Rome’s trendiest areas. 

Arrive to be welcomed by the light-filled open-plan living room and kitchen area, inviting you to kick off your shoes and relax after a long day of exploring the Eternal City. Lounge about on the plush sofa or gather everyone around the dining table for a light supper you’ll be able to rustle up with ease in the well-equipped kitchen. 

For a night of restful sleep head over to the cosy bedrooms, one offering a double bed and the second featuring two singles, with additional sleeping spaces in the living room. Wake up restored and ready for another day of la dolce vita. 

Outside your door, you’ll find yourself just steps away from the vintage stores and charming cafes of Monti and a ten-minute walk from all the splendour of Ancient Rome. 

Fellini's Dreams 

The seven-minute walk to the Colosseum from this bijou apartment is lined with centuries-old churches and family-run pizzerias. Surrounded by ancient buildings and architecture, there’s no doubt you’re in the old centre here. Just beyond the Colosseum, you’ll find the sprawling ruins of the Roman Forum a ten-minute walk away. 

Within the apartment, you’ve got a calming haven of traditional furnishings and gold trim. The front door opens straight into the living room, where there’s a little collection of books for a holiday read. The cute, provincial-tiled kitchen is tucked away in one corner and there’s room to dine in here too. It’s the bedrooms that really grabbed us here though, with their hand-painted pastel murals of the Italian countryside above both beds. The little sit-outery with its bistro set that catches the sun in the morning isn’t a bad spot either. 

Walk Like a Tiger

Wheelchair Access

This enviably located apartment looks out directly over the ancient Colosseum. Better still, the Roman Forum is a short walk away, and restaurants, cafes and bars are on the doorstep. At capacity, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area, though it may not be the most comfortable option for an extended stay. And while the kitchen and bathroom are a little dated, we think the view more than makes up for it.

With prints from Piranesi, Cambellotti and even Karl Lagerfeld, Jigsaw Frame is an art-lovers dream. Staying here, you get the sense of someone's home, rather than an anonymous holiday let. Brimming with character, the home offers a true taste of Italy through its authentic style and design. Think vintage mirrors, antique wooden furnishings and an eclectic array of artwork. Not to mention the retro kitchen that paints the perfect picture of what we imagine a quintessential Italian cooking corner to look like. In terms of location, you cannot get better than this. Just a three minute walk away from the world-renowned Colosseum and ancient Roman ruins, you'll be faced with stunning architectural views from the moment you step foot out of the door. Situated in the heart of Rome's Lazio district, enjoy lapping up the local cuisine at the many bars, restaurants and markets nearby. At the end of a long day on your feet, feel assured in knowing that with such a central address, you won't have far to go when you're ready to return to your home base.  

Jigsaw Frame

You can expect excellent service, an immaculate home, and a helping hand (should you need it) during your stay at this bolthole in Rome. The location is outstanding – in the central district, renowned for its bohemian vibe, excellent street food, and alternative shopping. The cobbled streets are lined with bars and alfresco cafes that invite you to spend the day taking in the Roman atmosphere. You can also easily get to all the big sites, like the Colosseum, in less than five minutes. The apartment itself is a haven of neutral tones, and hardwood floors add a touch of class. Art depicting Roman scenes hangs on the wall, so there’s no forgetting you’re in the Italian capital. There’s also a little shared courtyard within the building, where you can take a seat at the benches and admire the medieval facade of the building – all sand-coloured walls and bright green shutters.

Single-Level Home

You couldn't be better placed for a sightseeing trip around Rome. This modern apartment – recently renovated in April 2021 – resides just 300 metres away from the Colosseum. You can simply stroll out of your apartment building and immediately see the striking building. It's an inspiring sight that adds instant excitement to your Roman adventure.

Alongside the Colosseum, you're also just 600 metres away from the archaic Roman Forum. Insightful and fascinating, the ancient ruins stand proud against contemporary infrastructure in an impressive feat of traditional architecture. 

Intertwined between the iconic landmarks, you'll find a plethora of cute cafes and fine restaurants. Authentically Italian menus combine with international dishes to suit every palette. 

After a day of sampling the food and admiring the buildings, you can take a well-earned break in the modern comfort of your home. The interior is a stark contrast from Rome's landmarks – it's fitted with high-speed Wi-Fi, self check-in technology and the latest smart home system.

A large TV features all your favourite streaming services, including Netflix and Amazon Prime, so you can catch your favourite shows. Adjacent to the cosy living room, a kitchen stands next to a cute dining table. The whole group can gather here to share pizza and Barolo wine, taking turns to discuss the highlights of their trip.

 Road to the Lion's Den

Baby Bath

Situated on the famous street Via Merulana in the San Giovanni district, this is an excellently located home in a lively bourgeois area with good transport links to the rest of the city. The rooms are large and bright, all recently renovated with minimal modern design. The style of the home is more industrial than cosy thanks to the steel kitchen, prevalence of clean lines and minimal contemporary lighting, but that doesn’t compromise the comfort of the home. We did notice that the WiFi was notably slow, however, which might pose a problem for some guests. 

The Silver Dove

Sound System

This bold little place isn’t aimed at fans of neutral tones and understated design. Deep colours are everywhere, and they really help the apartment stand out from the crowd. It's not a huge space but it's extremely well laid-out and the lack of a seating area indoors is more than made up for by having a balcony with seats outside. The kitchenette is pretty well-equipped for its size and there's a little dining spot just for two. The host, Maria, really pushes the boat out when it comes to service – there’s a daily cleaning service, as well as free laundry, great breakfast options, and recommendations of all the places tourists don’t know about. If that wasn’t enough, it’s also only a couple of minutes walk from the Colosseum.

Gladiator Rose

This modern and well-presented home is situated in the superb neighbourhood of Monti. Not only is this recently gentrified area a hub for outstanding street food, alternative fashion, and traditional alfresco café culture, it’s also within easy walking distance of top attractions, like the Colosseum or the Forum. Reach the world's most beloved amphitheatre in just eight minutes and explore the ancient Roman ruins, only a quick ten-minute stroll from your swanky pad. On top of all of that, truly, the best part about this trendy district is that, even with its proximity to the big sites, it’s not overrun with clamouring tourists and intense crowds, meaning you can raise the curtain on the locale and get a real sneak peek of life in Rome. Back home, there's a real sense of elegance, with the minimalist and sociable open-plan layout, sparkling with glass-topped surfaces, sleek wooden floors and tasteful artwork of the surrounding area. We love the statement pieces too, especially the animal print chair. The serene coffee tones and ample space to chill out makes this the perfect spot to unwind after a long day spent sightseeing or wandering the lively streets outside.

Odes & Anthems

Step out of your building’s front door to be immediately greeted by the Colosseum at the end of the road. It’s an unrivalled location and despite neighbouring a global landmark, the quieter street retains a local charm. Inside, the apartment is wonderfully maintained with thoughtful design. The original character of the property shines – timber beams have been lovingly restored and counterpoint some of the more modern touches. We particularly liked the textured wallpaper above the bed and the matching set of Smeg kitchen appliances. After sipping an espresso and watching the daybreak over the Colosseum from your window, hit the pavements and get a closer look at Rome’s headline acts. The Roman Forum, Arch of Titus and the Via Sacra are all within a ten-minute walk. Plus, museums, piazzas and the iconic Pantheon are a seventeen-minute bus trip or ten-minute taxi ride away. 


Eventail

Brilliantly located in the heart of Monti, one of Rome’s oldest residential neighbourhoods and famed for its bohemian edge and cool bars, this home offers the ideal starting point for a Roman adventure. With fresh, cool, open spaces, comfortable furniture and a wealth of local amenities, all guests need to do is drop their bags off and head on out sightseeing with the help of the public Metro station, which can be found ten minutes away from home. Moreover, guests can easily walk to the Colosseum or the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore from here, and in a scenic twenty-five-minute stroll, a full day of exploring the Trevi Fountain, Roman Forum, Pantheon, etc. can all be achieved, all the while opportunities for the finest dining, wine tasting, and shopping are around every corner, and not to be missed.

Odes & Arias

This bright and elegant apartment situated in the heart of Rome is a perfect place for a family or a small group of friends to base themselves while they explore all that the Eternal City has to offer – and there is a lot. From here, you’ll easily access both the iconic landmarks and the more local scene – not to mention great public transport links on your doorstep meaning that you can reach all parts of the city in moments. 

Your home will greet you with a large open-plan living room and kitchen area, with a comfy sofa inviting you to kick off your shoes and relax with a glass of Italian wine. Although there are some fantastic restaurants around, particularly in the Monti area, you’ll also have the option to rustle up quick and delicious snacks at home, courtesy of the modern kitchen. Share your meals with your loved ones at the dining table, which also doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace. 

For a night of restful sleep, you’ll have the choice between two plush bedrooms, one featuring a double bed and the second two singles, with additional sleeping spaces available on the sofa bed in the living room. Wake up restored and enjoy a leisurely breakfast while you plan your day’s excursions – start by walking down to the Forum, a ten-minute stroll, or browse through the vintage stores of Monti.

Gladiator Reef is not one that will appeal to people who are after neutral tones and understated design. There’s a mix of bright colours all over the place, and this gives the space a bit of individuality. The host, Mary, also pushes the boat out when it comes to service - there’s a daily cleaning service, as well as free laundry, great breakfast options, and recommendations of all the places tourists don’t know about. If that wasn’t enough, it’s also only a few hundred metres from the Colosseum.


Gladiator Reef

Situated right in the heart of Rome, moments away from the Colosseum and the Forum, and yet also tucked away from the main tourist tracks, this bright and modern apartment is an ideal place for a family or an intimate group of friends to base themselves while they enjoy all the wonders of the Eternal City. 

This home will greet you with a generous open-plan living room and kitchen area, filled with light and offering plenty of room to relax after a long day of exploring the city. While there is no shortage of incredible restaurants in the area, you’ll also have the option to put together delicious meals at home and you can share them with your loved ones at the dining table – this is also a great spot to catch up on any laptop duties, should a need arise. Enjoy an evening of wine and movies on the comfy sofa, before heading off to the land of sweet dreams which awaits you in the plush bedrooms. 

Choose between two equally lovely rooms, one featuring a double bed and one with two singles, with additional sleeping spaces in the living room. Welcome a new day with breakfast and fresh coffee and plan your Roman adventures. 

Outside, you’ll find yourself a short stroll away from the vintage charm of Monti and the historic glory of Ancient Rome, and the proximity of the Vittorio Emanuele metro station means that you can easily access all parts of the city. 

Anita & Marcello 

Run by a team of professionals, you can expect to be well looked after during your stay at Odes & Psalms. While it's not the most characterful home in our books, it’s super comfortable, with a large living and dining area, and two immaculate bedrooms. The main reason to stay here, however, is the location. This residential neighbourhood has a real local feel with a side of bohemian spirit. You're also close to plenty of big attractions, without having to deal with masses of tourists. If it were just up to us, that’s exactly the kind of holiday we’d be after. 

Odes & Psalms

With neutral colours and bright living space, this home is a relaxed place to rest your head on a visit to the Italian capital. After a long day of sightseeing, the roomy communal area is the perfect place to rest tired feet – plop down on the cosy white sofa (which doubles as a sofa bed) with a glass of local wine and take a load off. Both bedrooms are super comfortable and the bathrooms are stylish, with rainfall showers and built-in hair dryers. You'll also feel right at home in the compact kitchen, but with so many authentic eateries and restaurants in this neighbourhood, we're sure you'd rather dine out. Speaking of location, you're in a great spot for exploring. Whether it's your first trip to Rome or you're a seasoned visitor, Monti has plenty for everyone – vintage stores, trendy cafes and chic wine bars. Best of all, this apartment is practically next door to the Parco del Colle Oppio, only a ten-minute stroll from the Domus Aurea and The Colosseum.

Odes & Chants

If you're here to visit all of Rome's most recognisable spots, locations don't much more convenient than this. Just steps away from the beautiful Colosseo Gardens and less than ten minutes walk from the incredible Colosseum itself, you'll be a short walk from the nearest Metro stop, with easy access to the rest of the city's treasures. Set in a typical period building, it's a smart, modern home designed for simplicity and comfort.

It's not the most spacious home in our collection but it's ideal for a couple or a solo traveller, and can easily stretch to sleeping four thanks to a sofa bed in the open-layout living space. And while the kitchen area is on the small side, it's perfectly practical for cooking light meals at home. For everything else, you're just a stroll away from some of the neighbourhood's numerous restaurants. 

Wine & Travertine

While the bold colours in Gladiator Sun won’t appeal to everyone, we really like it, and it has lots going for it beyond the design. It’s right by the Colosseum, and the host, Mary, also pushes the boat out when it comes to service. It’ll be really good for people who are after a slightly more hotel-like experience. There’s a daily cleaning service and someone at reception until 11pm, as well as free laundry, great breakfast options, and recommendations of all the places tourists don’t know about.


Gladiator Sun

With its quaint cobblestone streets, bearing a delightful tangle of ochre-hued architecture, artisan cafes and vintage boutiques, the residential district of Monti offers a community feel and proximity to the main sights. You'll find this home tucked away in this creative part of town, just behind Oppian Hill. Here, you're within a ten-minute walk from the Colosseum, the Basilica of Saint Mary Major and the Roman Forum. 

Inside, it's a timeless combination of white walls, wooden floors and high ceilings. Newly renovated interiors promise a want-for-nothing stay, especially in the bathrooms – beautifully decorated and equipped with contemporary fixtures. We especially love the open-plan living area, with its cosy lounge and fully-equipped kitchen. Here, floods of sunlight stream through the large windows, creating a peaceful atmosphere primed for relaxation. Spend mornings roosted around the dining table for espressos and pastries before slipping out for a day of exploring.

Aperture

Located in only a short walk away from Nero's Golden House and Opium Hill, Odes & Chorals is situated in a sweet spot that's central enough to walk to the sights but tucked away on a quiet street. You'll certainly appreciate how calming this home is after a long day of urban exploration, and the natural light in the communal area will create a lovely breakfast atmosphere as well. The design of this home might not be to everyone's taste, but it's cosy, big, and well kept by a dedicated team of professionals. 

Odes & Chorals

Bicycles

Where do you start with this graceful yet modern apartment? Maybe the view of the Colosseum? Perhaps the unusual but brilliant combination of classic, vintage, and glam? Or we could talk about how well-equipped the place is, from the smart electrics system to the luxurious rainfall showers? Serve breakfast around the charming dining table and pour yourself a coffee from the complimentary pod machine. Stroll around the palazzo, taking in the rustic beauty of the place. Sink into the sofa in the master bedroom, admiring the floral design and beauty of the boiserie with a quiet cuppa. We’ll just say that it’s a fantastic home, in a beautiful building, in one of the best areas in the city. Just a fifteen-minute walk to the Colosseum, under thirty minutes (on foot) to Trevi Fountain, as well as being surrounded by authentic bistros, fine-dining restaurants and classy cafés – the limoncello is never far from hand here.

Take Me Away

If you’ve ever been torn between staying in a hotel or in a private home, look no further. At Odes & Cantatas, guests will be able to enjoy the best of both worlds. This building is run by a management company, so you can expect an immaculate home and excellent service, while still enjoying the privacy and freedom of a real home. More importantly, however, this home is brilliantly located in the neighbourhood of Monti. Famed for its bohemian edge, the streets are lined with cafes and you can do some of the best vintage and alternative fashion shopping in the entire city. 

Odes & Cantatas

For a spacious one-bedroom apartment close to the action, look no further than this convenient address. A stone's throw from Parco del Colle Oppio – which overlooks Rome's iconic Colosseum – and a short journey from the baroque beauty of Piazza Navona and Trastevere's trendy trattorias, nearby bus stops and metro stations ensure this home offers easy access to the city sights from a peaceful residential base.

The apartment itself offers ample space for up to four people, with large windows illuminating the main open-plan living space, while the bedroom is slightly set back from the road for an undisturbed night of beauty sleep. A well-equipped kitchen includes everything you could need for a quiet night in. Still, with Testaccio's traditional culinary scene a twenty-minute metro journey away, we don't imagine it'll get all that much use. One of Rome's last remaining residential neighbourhoods in the historic city centre, authentic Roman experiences don't come much more real than Testaccio.



Murmillo

Inside, Bellflower is large and comfortable, and while the design isn’t particularly avant-garde, the neutral colour scheme makes for a calming overall effect. The two balconies are also a nice touch, without being overwhelming. What does stand out, however, is the location. The Colosseum is at the end of the street (maybe 200m, at a stretch), yet because it’s on the less-frequented side, the streets are surprising free of tourists. 


Bellflower

Paid Parking

The ideal Roman retreat, this apartment is mere moments from the Colosseum. You couldn't ask for a better vantage point if sightseeing is on your to-do list. Outside, you'll find the famous landmark at the end of the street, plus nearby public transportation makes it easy to explore further afield. The apartment itself is on the first floor of a 17th-century building. There's a compact kitchenette suitable for snacks, a bright living area with a glimpse of the Colosseum, and a sofa bed for flexible sleeping arrangements. The local area can be a little noisy, and there isn't a lift, but we think it's a solid option for short stays.

The Roman Sun

Situated just 200 metres from the Colosseum, this first-floor apartment puts you in a prime position for sightseeing. You'll find plenty of restaurants and shops in the local area, not to mention tram stops and a metro station for adventures further afield. Back home, we love the views of the nearby Basilica of San Clemente. The living space is bright and comfortable, and though the kitchen lacks an oven, it has everything you need to rustle up lighter fare. There isn't a lift here, and two guests will sleep on the sofa bed – but, to be moments from Rome's most famous landmark, it more than fits the bill.

Colosseo Charm

Luxury Toiletries

Underfloor Heating

Those visiting Rome for the ancient marvels and historic sights won't find a location much better than this. It’s 100 metres from the Colosseum and the ruin-filled park of Colle Opio is your next-door neighbour. Wandering the surrounding streets it seems like every corner is home to an ancient church between family-run trattoria and gelaterias. The apartment is housed in a beautiful 18th-century building, and stepping inside you feel the opulence of an old-world parlour. Velvet seats at the bistro table, a velvet sofa piled high with cushions and suspended candelabra create the opulence, while the exposed stone and timber beams keep one foot firmly in the building’s history. Chess can provide the evening’s entertainment, which feels fitting amidst the gilded mirrors and oil paintings. Heading up the striking mesh-metal staircase, the master bedroom has a pretty arched window with a window seat providing the perfect spot for a bit of holiday reading. 

I Am Spartacus

Despite its position in an old, atmospheric square near Campo de’ Fiori, Falconry has been renovated recently, and most of the furniture has been made to measure, making the whole place feel very well crafted. Everything fits together, from the parquet floor to the various lamps, and even the terrace is taken care of, and not an afterthought. High up among the rooftops, it feels like a little refuge from the hectic city below.

Falconry

With heaps of Italian soul and rustic charm, this quiet, well-kept and beautifully appointed apartment offers everything needed for that dolce vita. For the location, you're surrounded by local authenticity and just a seven-minute walk to the emblematic Colosseum. Find an assortment of eateries, wine bars and classy cafés to enjoy an alfresco lunch in the sun, before working off any over-indulgences with a gentle fourteen-minute stroll to Trevi Fountain – pennies at the ready. We also have to mention the apartment being on the cusp of Monti and Campitelli – both are full of beautiful piazzas, windy backstreets and family-run trattorias. Back home, we think there's somewhat of a contemporary Scandi feel, with plain bedspreads, pared-back furnishings and white shelved walls. Modern and minimalist, you'll also notice the elegant marble floors, quirky wallpaper prints and low-hanging light bulbs that we really loved. 

Elder Statesman

This elegant apartment is in a restored 16th-century palazzo – and it looks the part. You’ll step over the marble tiles of the entrance into a magnificent home filled with art and furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries. Ceiling frescos and glittering chandeliers can be found throughout the home, which also boasts a private terrace overlooking the cupola of Santa Agnese in Piazza Navona. The piazza is just a stone’s throw away, and you’ll be a short walk from the likes of the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain. Just perfect.

Soul of Rome

Outdoor Shower

This beautiful penthouse apartment is just the ticket for those looking for a relaxing stay away from the tourist crowds. Located in Rome’s Sallustiano neighbourhood, you’re far enough away from the city’s heavily crowded areas while still being able to reach all the main sights on foot or by public transport. Inside, a neutral palette sets a calming scene with wood floors and pops of blue in the pared-back decor. You’ll immediately be struck by the dazzling amount of natural light in the living area, thanks to the large glass doors that open up onto the first of two terraces. This first one – off of the living room – is a whopping 538 square feet and boasts several tables and chairs, a covered seating area as well as an outdoor shower to enjoy. This is the ideal spot to congregate at sundown over aperitifs and alfresco meals, while the second terrace – up the flight of stairs in the living room – is a rooftop haven with its sun chairs and equally majestic rooftop vistas, ideal for catching those Italian afternoon rays. Back inside, the two bedrooms are simple yet elegant, offering dreamy canvases for a blissful night’s sleep. When you’re ready to head out and explore, make a beeline for Villa Borghese (a ten-minute walk) or stroll just twenty minutes to throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain. With plenty of pizzerias and traditional, family-friendly trattorias along Via Flavia (a one-minute walk), as well as a plethora of shops and historic buildings on your doorstep, you’ve got everything you need for a glorious Roman holiday. 


Frieze Frame

Perched along a quiet, ancient street in the atmospheric Navona district, and with all of the city’s must-see sights reachable on foot, the location of this immaculately presented apartment is hard to beat. Get off to a flying start just around the corner at Piazza Navona (three minutes on foot) –⁠ one of the city’s most famous squares and 'the spot' for an evening aperitivo. And when thoughts turn to food, you’re spoilt for choice here –⁠ with bustling coffee bars, authentic trattorias, and high-end restaurants all just a short jaunt from your door. Back at home, this apartment makes quite a first impression with its grand, period exterior and a spiraling internal staircase leading to your door. The décor pairs contemporary furnishings alongside period features, including exposed original brickwork and timber-clad ceilings of high and mighty proportions. And despite its prime central location, our guests love how quiet this home feels –⁠ particularly in the bedrooms, which overlook a peaceful internal courtyard. So you’ll be sure to bank a peaceful night’s sleep here, ready for another adventure in the Eternal City.

Finding a street close to it all but not inundated with tourists is the holy grail in Rome – and that's precisely where you'll find this apartment. We call it the Goldilocks zone. But, ever the professional, your host Michele hasn’t used that as an excuse to rest on his laurels. The flat itself is in perfect condition, and while it doesn’t have the feeling of a family home, that’s often a good thing when it's not a sprawling home with space for all the host's personal items. The two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the flat, which is perfect for groups of friends travelling together, though families might want little ones closer by, or not. We understand. Sandwiched between the river and lively Campo de' Fiori, you're in a prime location to explore the city. The square is home to the city's most vibrant (and occasionally overpriced) street market (Monday-Saturday mornings). Still, this famous foodie haven is a good place to stock up on fresh produce, just a five-minute walk from your apartment. Cross over the stone footbridge, Ponte Sisto, and within a couple of minutes, you'll be immersed in trendy Trastevere. With its cobbled streets lined with charmingly faded facades, innovative trattorias, and craft cocktail bars, there's plenty to keep you occupied well into the night.
