A standout highlight of this charming studio, formerly the penthouse of the 1920's villa, has to be the large and sunny terrace (with a view to boot). It's a rare find in the busy metropolis that is Rome. There are sun loungers for taking in a few early morning rays, and a dining table that’s perfect for coming together with some nibbles and aperitifs as the sun drops over the rooftops of Monteverde Vecchio’s leafy residential streets. Stepping inside, you’ll find a bright and airy space thanks to the high ceilings reaching up into the eaves. And whilst this is studio living, it’s wonderfully well-kept, with everything you need in the compact, cleverly designed separate kitchen. Not that you’ll be doing much cooking with so many authentic Italian coffee shops and restaurants on your doorstep. And when the ancient ruins and vibrant street life of downtown Rome finally lure you, do like the locals and hop on the tram located just a five minutes walk away - you’ll be in the thick of things in just fifteen minutes.

Local guide


About Monteverde Vecchio

To the southwest of bohemian Trastevere lies Monteverde Vecchio, a largely residential quarter that swaps the crowds for wide, peaceful streets and hills. Whilst it is a bit too far to walk to the city’s main attractions, there are trams that run to Piazza Venezia so it’s fairly easy to get to the centre, at least during the day. Life is definitely slower here than elsewhere in Rome, but that’s...
