Just a stone’s throw from the Tiber River in Rome’s Trastevere neighbourhood, this bright apartment was made for socialising and relaxing. While the interior is full of quirky ornaments, comfortable furnishings and textured throws, it’s the home’s outside that really sets it apart. With three different rooftop terrace areas, you can chill out in the hanging chairs while taking in views across the city, catch some rays on the loungers and gather together for sunset alfresco meals while the Eternal City stretches out behind you. When you’re not soaking up the serenity of your rooftop pad, go out and explore your historic neighbourhood. Trastevere is known for its innovative trattorias, craft beer bars and artisan shops, while the river is a three-minute walk away, inviting you to walk along its banks. Elsewhere, the Pantheon is a fifteen-minute walk away and the Vatican is walkable in just under forty. After a day of sightseeing, retreat to your rooftop hangout as the city glitters in all directions, or treat yourself to a soak in the tub before enjoying a comfortable night’s sleep.

Local guide
About Aventino
As one of the city's legendary seven hills, the Aventine plays a central role in the founding mythology of Rome. In ancient times it was a hive of activity – the home of foreign religious cults and dens of iniquity that caused consternation among the powers that be. Today it is a quiet residential neighbourhood full of sprawling mansions, historic churches and lovely gardens. There are no restaurants up here,...
