Exuding plenty of Roman character and rustic charm, there are several lovely original features in this home – the most striking of which are the painted frescoed ceilings dating back hundreds of years. The chequered floors are another nice touch that point back to the history of the palazzo. Elsewhere, it's a stylish and modern apartment with coffee coloured walls, a black leather sofa and a chic dining area with quirky chairs. Right by the window, it's a great spot to feast on fettuccini on those cosy evenings in. Come morning, enjoy your double espresso perched on an elegant ghost stool around the breakfast bar, before mapping out the day's tourist itinerary. And where better place to start than the Colosseum – a thirteen-minute wander from your door. A stroll around the immediate neighbourhood of Monti provides that authentic, local feel too.

Local guide
About Monti
It's a truth universally acknowledged that in every city, there is a district just waiting to be described as expressing the spirit of the old Soho. In Rome, Monti is that place, and the connection is a fair one - although what Monti lacks in advertising agencies and mustachioed tech bros, it makes up for in creative enclaves, smoky bars and delicious places to eat. Nestled right in the heart...
