With prints from Piranesi, Cambellotti and even Karl Lagerfeld, Jigsaw Frame is an art-lovers dream. Staying here, you get the sense of someone's home, rather than an anonymous holiday let. Brimming with character, the home offers a true taste of Italy through its authentic style and design. Think vintage mirrors, antique wooden furnishings and an eclectic array of artwork. Not to mention the retro kitchen that paints the perfect picture of what we imagine a quintessential Italian cooking corner to look like. In terms of location, you cannot get better than this. Just a three minute walk away from the world-renowned Colosseum and ancient Roman ruins, you'll be faced with stunning architectural views from the moment you step foot out of the door. Situated in the heart of Rome's Lazio district, enjoy lapping up the local cuisine at the many bars, restaurants and markets nearby. At the end of a long day on your feet, feel assured in knowing that with such a central address, you won't have far to go when you're ready to return to your home base.

Host
This home is managed by Carlo
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Carlo, who also works as a personal trainer, looks after this apartment with the help of his mother. He takes care of the business side, will help you check in, and will be on hand if you have any questions, while his mum, who's an architect, is in charge of the interiors. Naturally they are both very proud of their family apartment, and rightly so.
