Despite only being a twenty-three-minute walk from the Vatican, this is a cute and surprisingly calming flat. It's housed in an early 20th-century building with heaps of Roman character, and yet modern and cosy inside with its playful pink colour scheme, light wood flooring and tasteful artwork. After an afternoon taking in the delights of St. Peter's Basilica, devouring all sorts of pizza and limoncello-based drinks, return to the light and airy living space with a chic pink dining table at its core – perfect for coming together for a well-needed cuppa and a slice of a cake. Sitting down to relive the best parts of the day, you'll notice the low-hanging lighting, antique mirrors and retro drinks trolley in the corner. This home cuts no corners when it comes to the little touches. Wandering into the bedrooms you'll find original patterns and vibrant wallpaper prints that remind us of a bygone era. Those lucky enough to be residing in the master bedroom will have the luxury of a private dining table for those romantic morning coffees in bed. Well-rested and full of caffeine, discover the tranquillity and local vibe of the surrounding area. Bordering the River Tiber's west bank,... Prati is an art nouveau neighbourhood with alfresco wine bars, stylish cocktail lounges and fine-dining restaurants dotted around its relatively tourist-free boulevards.

About Prati
Prati sits cheek by jowl with Vatican City - not that you would necessarily know from within. The newest of Rome's districts, built between 1873-1921, its road plan was designed so that none of the streets would have St. Peter’s Dome in the background, a reflection of the tension between the new Italian state and the Vatican during its construction. Once a verdant area of meadows, vegetable gardens and vineyards,...

Host
This home is managed by Serena
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Serena and her sister started renting out their flat for fun, with no plans to turn it into a full-time job. They did so well, though, and enjoyed it so much that that’s what they do now. They’re both into design, and have a noticeable aesthetic style in all their places.
