The seven-minute walk to the Colosseum from this bijou apartment is lined with centuries-old churches and family-run pizzerias. Surrounded by ancient buildings and architecture, there’s no doubt you’re in the old centre here. Just beyond the Colosseum, you’ll find the sprawling ruins of the Roman Forum a ten-minute walk away. 

Within the apartment, you’ve got a calming haven of traditional furnishings and gold trim. The front door opens straight into the living room, where there’s a little collection of books for a holiday read. The cute, provincial-tiled kitchen is tucked away in one corner and there’s room to dine in here too. It’s the bedrooms that really grabbed us here though, with their hand-painted pastel murals of the Italian countryside above both beds. The little sit-outery with its bistro set that catches the sun in the morning isn’t a bad spot either. 

Walk Like a Tiger

This enviably located apartment looks out directly over the ancient Colosseum. Better still, the Roman Forum is a short walk away, and restaurants, cafes and bars are on the doorstep. At capacity, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area, though it may not be the most comfortable option for an extended stay. And while the kitchen and bathroom are a little dated, we think the view more than makes up for it.


Roman Reflection

You can expect excellent service, an immaculate home, and a helping hand (should you need it) during your stay at this bolthole in Rome. The location is outstanding – in the central district, renowned for its bohemian vibe, excellent street food, and alternative shopping. The cobbled streets are lined with bars and alfresco cafes that invite you to spend the day taking in the Roman atmosphere. You can also easily get to all the big sites, like the Colosseum, in less than five minutes. The apartment itself is a haven of neutral tones, and hardwood floors add a touch of class. Art depicting Roman scenes hangs on the wall, so there’s no forgetting you’re in the Italian capital. There’s also a little shared courtyard within the building, where you can take a seat at the benches and admire the medieval facade of the building – all sand-coloured walls and bright green shutters.

Odes & Oratorios

Home to Rome's main train station and the Basilica Papale di Santa Maria Maggiore, Esquilino is a multi-cultural hub with plenty of authentic Roman charm. Here, you can enjoy casual dinners at the local trattorias, sip espresso and people-watch in Piazza Vittorio and shop for international ingredients at the local markets. It's more laid-back than other neighbourhoods, but you can't beat the location – the Colosseum is only a twenty-minute stroll away, and there are plenty of subway stations, so getting around the city is no problem. Inside, the apartment is a warm and welcoming respite from the bustling streets outside. The traditional stone ceiling is an absolute showstopper, and the soft furnishings and natural colour scheme only add to the wow factor. While the living area is decidedly rustic, the sleek kitchen is completely modern, and it has everything home cooks will need. Whether you're munching on breakfast around the dining table, resting weary legs on the cosy sofa or nodding off in the comfortable bedrooms, you'll love calling this place home during your stay in Rome. 

Stones On The Ceiling

Where do you start with this graceful yet modern apartment? Maybe the view of the Colosseum? Perhaps the unusual but brilliant combination of classic, vintage, and glam? Or we could talk about how well-equipped the place is, from the smart electrics system to the luxurious rainfall showers? Serve breakfast around the charming dining table and pour yourself a coffee from the complimentary pod machine. Stroll around the palazzo, taking in the rustic beauty of the place. Sink into the sofa in the master bedroom, admiring the floral design and beauty of the boiserie with a quiet cuppa. We’ll just say that it’s a fantastic home, in a beautiful building, in one of the best areas in the city. Just a fifteen-minute walk to the Colosseum, under thirty minutes (on foot) to Trevi Fountain, as well as being surrounded by authentic bistros, fine-dining restaurants and classy cafés – the limoncello is never far from hand here.

Take Me Away

Brilliantly situated in Monti, one of Rome's most ancient neighbourhoods, this top-floor apartment is truly something special. There's no question that the private terrace is the crown jewel of the place. With a charming bistro table and an abundance of sunshine, it's the perfect spot to start the morning with an espresso and a pastry – and of course, end the evening with a bottle of Italian wine as the world passes by below you. 

Elsewhere, you'll find two quaint Juliet balconies – not ideal for sitting, but the view of the bustling street below is as Roman as it gets. The rest of the apartment is filled with light, packed with character and super stylish. Curl up on the cream-coloured sofa and watch a flick on Netflix, rustle up homecooked pasta in the kitchen and work from home at the desk in the second bedroom. There's more than enough space here to spread out and make yourself at home.

And the options for exploring are endless. The forum and the Colosseum are less than a ten-minute walk away – and there's plenty more sightseeing where that came from. Basilica Papale di Santa Maria Maggiore is also within walking distance and two metro lines are nearby for when you fancy visiting landmarks further into the city. Or just stay local and wine and dine the night away at the restaurants, cafes and bars on your doorstep, including a delicious gelateria right downstairs for some quintessentially Italian gelato. 

It Will Be So

With a bright living area and a cool industrial design, this apartment is perfect for groups. Three comfortable bedrooms and a double sofa bed ensure there's enough space for everyone – we can easily imagine family breakfasts in the kitchen before setting off on a Roman adventure. All the essentials are covered, too, from air conditioning to kitchen appliances. Plus, the location right by Termini train station makes zipping around the city centre a breeze. You can also walk to the Colosseum, less than thirty minutes away.

Ivory & Brick

This bold little place isn’t aimed at fans of neutral tones and understated design. Deep colours are everywhere, and they really help the apartment stand out from the crowd. It's not a huge space but it's extremely well laid-out and the lack of a seating area indoors is more than made up for by having a balcony with seats outside. The kitchenette is pretty well-equipped for its size and there's a little dining spot just for two. The host, Maria, really pushes the boat out when it comes to service – there’s a daily cleaning service, as well as free laundry, great breakfast options, and recommendations of all the places tourists don’t know about. If that wasn’t enough, it’s also only a couple of minutes walk from the Colosseum.

Gladiator Rose

Oh, the view from this Roman home – we go weak at the knees every time we see it. It makes a good case for the best in the city. Who wouldn't want to wake up to the vistas of the magnificent Colosseum? We can imagine on warm summers evening opening up the windows and drinking a glass of prosecco while admiring this ancient amphitheatre set against a red sky. Let's not forget the interiors here, though – they are lovely and fit in perfectly with the old-world grandeur that emanates from Rome. We especially adore the marble-clad bathrooms and plush velvet fabrics, all chosen by a Count. If you can tear yourself away from the windows, history lovers can walk to the Basilica di San Clemente in under five minutes, while St. Peter's Square can be reached in a quarter of an hour.

Impero

This cosy apartment in San Lorenzo is perfect for couples looking to explore Rome. That said, it can sleep up to four guests – but two will draw the short straw and be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room. It’s also worth noting that the bedroom is on a mezzanine level, so at full occupancy, privacy is limited. With a stripped-back, fuss-free style, it may not be to everyone’s taste, but with easy access to public transport, it’s ideal for exploring the city. 

The Roman Nights

Nestled in the heart of Rome, this contemporary apartment offers a haven of comfort and convenience for your Italian getaway. With single sofa beds in both bedrooms, and a double sofa bed in the living room, there’s real flexibility in terms of the sleeping arrangements here, making it an ideal base whatever the group makeup. Location-wise, you’re in for a treat. Visit the Colosseum, explore the city’s history at the Roman Forum, or make a wish at the Trevi Fountain – there’s something to suit all tastes here.
