This historic home in the centre of the Italian capital offers an authentic Roman experience, with original terracotta floors, wood-beamed ceilings and views over the ancient Arco dei Banchi. All this charm, and it's less than a fifteen-minute walk to the Pantheon. What's not to like? You'll find all your home comforts at this top-floor apartment, with a few luxuries to remind you you're on holiday. Sink into plush double beds when you arrive and slip into a deep slumber, despite the central location. Come morning, whip up a fresh breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen and crank open the windows to listen to the hum of the city below. When you're ready to explore, take the lift downstairs, glide through the building's quiet courtyard and the best of Rome is before you. Castel Sant 'Angelo should be your first top – the mausoleum is just a three-minute stroll across the River Tiber. You'll pass plenty of pastry shops on the way where you can pick up a strong coffee and cannoli to enjoy en route.
