It’s hard to look past The Roman Toro location. One of the old period buildings on the same street hosted Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday, while these days, getting to the most famous tourist attractions in the city is very easy – you're an eight-minute walk from Flaminio metro station. Or else head over on foot to Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps, just a quick fifteen-minute stroll away. Upon your return, take a wander through the Piazza del Popolo around the corner from the home. Back inside, it's a minimalist dream, with a sociable open-plan living space, sleek wood floors and elegant Kartell dining chairs. While the chic decor makes for a stylish Roman pad, it's a homely place too, with cosy bedrooms made up of tasteful artwork and warming lighting – and for those keeping one eye on work during their stay, you'll find a swanky study area to power through. There are several flats within the same palazzo here, all managed by Martina and her lovely team, so while that means they lack the feel of a truly lived-in home, the level of service is near that of a hotel, and larger groups might be able... to book more than one place at once. It's a great option for those looking to be in the thick of things and still experience an authentic stay – this spot will have you feeling like a local in no time.

About Flaminio
Lying just north of the city center, on the left side of the river Tiber, Flaminio stretches from Piazza del Popolo all the way up to Ponte Milvio —the Roman "Bridge of the Arts". Named after Via Flaminia — one of the most ancient Roman roads, connecting the capital to the Adriatic Sea — this neighbourhood is more about modern art & architecture than history. It was, indeed only after...
