Charming and cosy, you'll find this apartment in the centre of Rome, just around the corner from Campo de' Fiori and its morning market. Whether you're in the mood for museums and art galleries or bars and boutiques, this spot promises many Roman adventures – your host can even arrange guided tours and culinary experiences for you. If sightseeing is on your to-do list, you're in luck – Piazza Navona (a seven-minute walk), the Pantheon (eleven minutes on foot), the Trevi Fountain (walkable in eighteen) and the Colosseum (a twenty-three-minute stroll) are all within easy reach. After exploring, come home to this characterful flat, where beamed wooden ceilings, traditional tile floors and vintage furniture create an authentic ambience. Rest weary legs on the sofa, a glass of wine in hand, then rustle up dinner in the glossy kitchen. The bedroom is comfortable and features a quaint Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard, but our favourite room has to be the study – we adore the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves stuffed with well-thumbed tomes. The antique desk facing the square is the perfect place to get down to business – there's nothing quite like checking your inbox while admiring the hustle and bustle in Largo... dei Librari outside.

About Campo de' Fiori
The pleasures to be found in the Campo de' Fiori - the name translates as Field of Flowers - are multiple in their simplicity. The square is watched over by the brooding figure of Giordano Bruno, who was executed for heresy on this spot in 1600.
