The bright, vibrant hues are the first things that strike you about this funky apartment. There’s a cohesion between the colourful design of the different rooms, yet at the same time, each maintains its own character. Through to the living room, where abstract artwork adorns the striking red wall and eclectic objects fill whitewashed bookshelves. While the statement art pieces and bright decor add interest, they're not the only things we love about this home. In fact, the light-filled kitchen with elegant ghost chairs is the perfect spot for starting the day with a continental breakfast. We also really like the marble floors throughout the apartment, and the granite kitchen backsplash – in fact, in most parts of the flat – the attention to detail is praiseworthy. Step outside of the building, to find yourself in the cultural heart of the world's most ancient city. Positioned between the Villa Medici and Trevi Fountain, whichever way you turn, you'll be within a short stroll from a beloved Roman attraction. Descend the Spanish Steps to the Piazza di Spagna, filled with traditional eateries, shops and gelato stalls, only a two-minute walk from this punchy home.

Local guide
About Spagna
Spagna is, perhaps unsurprisingly, focussed around the eponymous Piazza di Spagna. Along with the Trevi fountain, it’s one of the most visited sights in the entire city. Things weren’t always so auspicious – in the 16th century, the area was Rome’s red light district, but today it’s better known for the vine-covered romance of Via Margutta, home to Gregory Peck's impoverished journalist in Roman Holiday. This is not the place...

Host
This home is managed by Emanuela
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Emanuela was born and raised in Rome and has a very special relationship with this building and this part of the city – it’s where she grew up. Now that her children live abroad, she rents out the flat, and it’s become her passion (almost, but not quite, matching her passion for the Dolomites).
