You couldn't be better placed for a sightseeing trip around Rome. This modern apartment – recently renovated in April 2021 – resides just 300 metres away from the Colosseum. You can simply stroll out of your apartment building and immediately see the striking building. It's an inspiring sight that adds instant excitement to your Roman adventure. Alongside the Colosseum, you're also just 600 metres away from the archaic Roman Forum. Insightful and fascinating, the ancient ruins stand proud against contemporary infrastructure in an impressive feat of traditional architecture. Intertwined between the iconic landmarks, you'll find a plethora of cute cafes and fine restaurants. Authentically Italian menus combine with international dishes to suit every palette. After a day of sampling the food and admiring the buildings, you can take a well-earned break in the modern comfort of your home. The interior is a stark contrast from Rome's landmarks – it's fitted with high-speed Wi-Fi, self check-in technology and the latest smart home system. A large TV features all your favourite streaming services, including Netflix and Amazon Prime, so you can catch your favourite shows. Adjacent to the cosy living room, a kitchen stands next to a cute dining table. The whole group can... gather here to share pizza and Barolo wine, taking turns to discuss the highlights of their trip.
