Those visiting Rome for the ancient marvels and historic sights won't find a location much better than this. It’s 100 metres from the Colosseum and the ruin-filled park of Colle Opio is your next-door neighbour. Wandering the surrounding streets it seems like every corner is home to an ancient church between family-run trattoria and gelaterias. The apartment is housed in a beautiful 18th-century building, and stepping inside you feel the opulence of an old-world parlour. Velvet seats at the bistro table, a velvet sofa piled high with cushions and suspended candelabra create the opulence, while the exposed stone and timber beams keep one foot firmly in the building’s history. Chess can provide the evening’s entertainment, which feels fitting amidst the gilded mirrors and oil paintings. Heading up the striking mesh-metal staircase, the master bedroom has a pretty arched window with a window seat providing the perfect spot for a bit of holiday reading.

With heaps of Italian soul and rustic charm, this quiet, well-kept and beautifully appointed apartment offers everything needed for that dolce vita. For the location, you're surrounded by local authenticity and just a seven-minute walk to the emblematic Colosseum. Find an assortment of eateries, wine bars and classy cafés to enjoy an alfresco lunch in the sun, before working off any over-indulgences with a gentle fourteen-minute stroll to Trevi Fountain – pennies at the ready. We also have to mention the apartment being on the cusp of Monti and Campitelli – both are full of beautiful piazzas, windy backstreets and family-run trattorias. Back home, we think there's somewhat of a contemporary Scandi feel, with plain bedspreads, pared-back furnishings and white shelved walls. Modern and minimalist, you'll also notice the elegant marble floors, quirky wallpaper prints and low-hanging light bulbs that we really loved.

Among streets peppered with restaurants and book shops on one corner, and ancient ruins on the next, Rome’s Castro Pretorio district is a melting pot of history and culture. You can find basilicas, palazzos, and even the Teatro dell'Opera all less than 600 metres from your front door on the famed Via Cavour. Just like its locale, your apartment is full of original character and style.

Set on the first floor of a traditional block, the views from the French windows and private balcony offer a fantastic display of the local lifestyle. You can spot the honey and pink tones of nearby Italian architecture, as mopeds whizz by on the streets and people chat at kerbside cafés (all while you sip prosecco on the outdoor seating).

If you can tear yourself away from these eye-catching city scenes, take a stroll through the home to explore. The original tiled floors are reminiscent of a Roman bath house, with ornate mosaic patterns throughout the lounge, hall, and bedroom. We love the melange of classic features alongside modern, psychedelic art on the walls and Starck-style ghost chairs for dining and working. Just like the ancient city, this home has entered the 21st century in the most elegant fashion.

This apartment may be in the heart of Rome, but there’s something distinctly country-chic about the decor. Period pieces – dressers, doors and the kitchen table – are all rough white-washed and feel rustic. The sound system is vintage, and the armchairs in the living room are upholstered in gloriously kitsch floral patterns. The jewel in the crown of the apartment is the sprawling outdoor terrace, which has sofas in sunny spots for a dose of vitamin D, and shaded nooks under parasols for when the heat gets too much. The bamboo pergola covered a couple of outdoor gas hobs, so you can cook and dine alfresco. Flowers and pot plants bloom for every corner and climb trellises for a bit of privacy. If you want to know just how central you are, just head out to the downstairs balcony and spot the Colosseum at the end of your street.

Paquino is perfectly comfortable, and while it lacks a bit of flair in the design department, it’s pleasant to look at. None of this really matters though, because the big thing going for it is the position, right in the heart of Monti. There are loads of excellent restaurants around (although the kitchen is actually pretty good, easily enough for a decent meal) and you really are in the cobbled streets among the ancient ruins that define the city.

You couldn’t ask for a better location in Rome than this apartment, which looks directly onto the iconic Colosseum. The apartment is modern and stylish, with designer furniture and a luxurious vibe. We love the high ceilings, which reach over 5 metres, and how bright and welcoming this home feels. There’s a convenient kitchen, though you’ll have your pick of Roman restaurants right on your doorstep if you don’t feel like cooking. Convenient, chic, and comfortable – what more could you ask for?

As soon as you step through the door of this penthouse apartment, you’ll want to pause and savour its atmospheric beauty. It’s the kind of home that takes you on a journey – one that is rich in authentic craft and cultural heritage.

We think this industrial-style loft makes for a memorable stay in the Eternal City. The decor mixes contemporary and character features – you'll find everything from exposed brick walls and beamed ceilings to a unique glass floor that overlooks the lounge. It's got plenty of space for everyone, and the extra touches like board games and snacks are much appreciated. Plus, the location is fantastic for exploring near and far. Both the Colosseum and the metro station are within walking distance. Shops and restaurants are easily reached on foot, too.

Roman Loft

Base yourself in Monti, one of Rome's coolest neighbourhoods. You'll be within walking distance of the Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum, and many independent eateries, putting you within easy reach of all Rome has to offer. The apartment is bright and cosy. Design-wise, it's a bit eclectic, but it's welcoming. There's also a sofa bed for two. That said, the highlight is the balcony and its sweeping views. Just sit back with a coffee or a glass of wine and take in the panoramas of the historic city centre.

This stylish apartment is right around the corner from Termini, Rome's biggest train station, so there's no doubt that the transport links are excellent. But many of the must-see sights can also be reached on foot, including the magnificent Basilica Papale di Santa Maria Maggiore five minutes away and The Colosseum just a little further, about a twenty-minute stroll. After fueling up on pasta and gelato at Mercato Centrale Roma across the street, set off for the Trevi Fountain, The Pantheon and The Spanish Steps, all reachable in under half an hour. When you're not off exploring, shopping or sipping Italian wine at one of the bars in this area, rest your tired feet back at home. We love the bold green colours and funky design – picture cowhide rugs, vibrant pop art and leafy wallpaper in the bedroom. The bathroom is also one of our favourites – it has a huge walk-in rain shower that's the perfect way to relax after a busy day. And this pad has more than enough room for two, so there's plenty of space to make yourself at home. In the evenings, pour yourself an aperitif and rustle up a feast in the contemporary kitchen, then end the night with Netflix in bed, nodding off while to the sound of your favourite shows.

Footsteps from the Foro Romano complex and a five-minute stroll to the monumental Colosseum, this 17th-century apartment pairs original features with modern detail to create a captivating home in the heart of the eclectic Monti neighbourhood. Expect rustic timber beams, exposed brick walls and herringbone parquet floors. Splashes of cherry red bridge the gap between old and new worlds, and the sleek up-to-date kitchen showcases contemporary design. Slip into your locale’s romantic honeyed streets. You’re metres from family-run trattorias, trendy wine bars and tempting gelaterias. In the evenings, hang out at Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, a three-minute walk away. People-watch by the 16th-century fountain before ducking into a bohemian bar for cocktails and aperitivo. When it’s time to call it a night, head home to rest easy in your comfy-cosy bed.

Red Candy

Looking for a room with a view in Rome's historic Old Town? How's waking up to uninterrupted vistas of the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums float your barca?

Housed in a Roman palazzo of high and mighty proportions, from the outside, this place is everything you'd imagine your Italian bolthole to be. Step inside, and the home has been beautifully reimagined for modern living with sleek, polished lines and a monochrome palette providing the perfect juxtaposition to the ornate grandeur outside.

Roll out of the king-sized bed and pad over to the glamourous kitchen area to fire up the coffee machine as you hatch plans for the day ahead. There are all the gadgets going to rustle up a bite to eat, but with coffee bars bursting at the seams in the streets below, you might rather grab breakfast on the go.

Get off to a flying start exploring the city at the Colosseum –⁠ the entrance is just a four-minute walk from your door (best seen early in the mornings to beat the crowds). And when it's time to cast your net further into the city, the metro is just steps from your door (one minute to be exact) –⁠  though we doubt you'll need it. Take your pick from the other must-see sights reachable on foot - the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, and the Trevi Fountain are less than a half-an-hour stroll away. 

Hungry Lions

There’s no doubting the USP of this bolthole apartment set in the heart of Rome’s Old Town. Just fling the windows wide to reveal the most monumental views of the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums, and it all becomes crystal clear.

Housed in a handsome period property befitting Rome’s historical centre, the majestic entrance makes quite the first impression. While inside, everywhere has been expertly reimagined for seamless, modern living with those polished finishes that Italians do so well. 

Pad out of the boutique-style bedroom and into the sleek, modern kitchen area to fire up the coffee machine. Then get together around the dining table to hatch plans for the day ahead – you’ll have views of the world’s most iconic amphitheatre right there. And if you’re impressed now, just wait until dusk when the decorative columns and arches are lit up – now that’s a memory right there.

When it’s time to explore, you won’t have far to go. The entrance to the mighty Colosseum is just a four-minute walk from your door – best seen early in the mornings to beat the crowds. Then take your pick from the other must-see sights reachable on foot. The Pantheon, Spanish Steps, and the Trevi Fountain are less than a half-an-hour stroll away – or a smidge longer with pitstops for pizza al taglio and gelato along the way.

Gladiators Ready!

Hot Tub

With elegant views overlooking the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, this central apartment is within convenient walking distance of some of Rome's most sought-after restaurants and landmarks. Modern home comforts feature through the home's contemporary designs, including a jacuzzi bathtub and a work-from-home station – allowing you to strike a balance between business with relaxation. Meanwhile, the small balcony offers an extra finishing touch and a scenic spot to enjoy your morning coffee. While the hotspots of Rome are within walking distance, if you're arriving from other cities by car, reach out to the host, as you may be able to reserve a private parking spot here too. 



A Roman Reign

Can you think of anything more Roman than the Colosseum? We love this home because you don't have to step a foot outside to see this ancient amphitheatre. Just look out of the windows – no more battling like a gladiator with fellow tourists to get that perfect shot – how fabulous is that? Modern and bright, this home is an elegant journey into Italian 70's chic meets classical design, with its parquet flooring, marble columns, and plush velvet sofas. Gather around the dining table for cocktails at one of the best vantage points in Rome to see the sunset, and marvel at this magnificent monument set against a fiery sky. Your Instagram likes will surely go through the roof. You'll be infinitely happy that you found this special place in the Eternal City.

Giallo Colosseo

Step off a leafy Esquilino street and through the huge old doors to find this fourth-floor apartment in all of its whitewashed glory. Pristine and modern, the home is touched with earthy tones—olive and celery greens, taupe and leafy houseplants. All of your mod-cons are neatly concealed by a veneer of light oak, so you can keep your attention firmly on devouring the welcome wine and snacks provided by your host. Turn right out of your building and take the ten-minute waltz over to Parco del Colle Oppio for its ancient ruins and prime views of the mighty Colosseum. When it’s time for dinner, you couldn’t be better placed to sample authentic Italian grub. Your home is surrounded by family-run bakeries, ristorantes and those all-important gelaterias.

Breakfast Included

Upon arriving at this home, it immediately becomes clear that it's a little bit special. Not only is it in the perfect position for getting around the sights, but the approach itself is wonderfully Roman. Cobbled streets, cloisters, and courtyards all make an appearance.

The iconic Colosseum and Roman Forum are both just under a ten-minute walk away. It's around the same distance to Piazza Venezia, while the beautiful Trevi Fountain is fifteen minutes on foot. Or immerse yourself in the local culture at Mercato Rionale Monti (a one minute stroll), and pick up some fresh produce to take home.

Back in this apartment, whip up a carbonara with some ingredients from the market in the kitchen if you don't fancy eating out. This home has an elegant neutral colour scheme enlivened by pretty artwork – we especially love the cute vintage Fiat 500 painting. This place is perfect for a couple, solo traveller or business professional looking for a stylish and charming address close to many of Rome’s most popular attractions.



Cinquecento

You know what they say – location is everything. Well, if that's true, you can't do much better than Monti. Some of Rome's most famous sights are only ten minutes away on foot – The Colosseum and The Forums – yet this neighbourhood is anything but a tourist trap. There's an authentic atmosphere in this part of town, with plenty of traditional eateries, vintage stores and chic wine bars loved by locals. It's also pretty quiet, all things considered. You'll find this apartment on a pretty street, only a few steps from Parco del Colle Oppio. With a bright living area, stylish bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms, this home is a calm place to escape the hustle and bustle. Pour yourself a glass of Italy's finest wine and relax on the sofa or around the glass dining table. If you're in the mood to rustle up a meal, the compact kitchen has plenty of dishes and culinary gear, though it's on the smaller side. There's even a desk in the second bedroom if you need to check work emails, but if it were up to us, we'd spend every day sipping espresso in one of the cafes, basking in the magic of Rome.

Odes & Symphonies

Cosy and compact, this apartment is an ideal base in Rome. Its location couldn’t be better, just a stone’s throw from the Trevi Fountain, and within walking distance of most of the city’s sights. There are countless restaurants and bars right on your doorstep, which is handy as the kitchenette is more suitable for preparing light bites – you can get your pasta fill nearby instead. The apartment is spread over two floors, with a quiet seating area on the second floor. If you’re hoping for more space and privacy, we’d recommend sticking to a guest count of two, so the sofa bed in the living room isn’t in use. 

Colourful Cello

Sometimes when looking for a place to stay in a foreign city, you have to make a decision about what to prioritise, but this Roman apartment has all the bases covered. It’s in a great location in Monti — one of our favourite parts of the city, famous for vintage shops and undiscovered restaurants — but the interiors are just as much of a draw. The frescoed ceilings are perhaps the most striking element, a welcome nod to the history of both the building and the area, but the brightly coloured walls and touches of modernity — such as the transparent dining chairs and strikingly blue master bathroom — are also appreciated additions. The winning touch is the small balcony just off the kitchen, which has a charming view of the internal courtyard.


Centurion Sea

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

Want to be a short walk away from one of Rome's most famous landmarks? Then this apartment in Monti is spot-on. It's a stone's throw from the Colosseum and right around the corner from Basilica Papale di Santa Maria Maggiore. Shops, restaurants, and metro stations are also nearby. Back home, the blue and yellow colour scheme is instantly cheery. Your host has taken care of all the essentials, including a desk ideal for remote working. Two guests will sleep on the sofa bed (which may be a squeeze for everyone), but otherwise, it's a fantastic space to call home.

Colosseo Cerulean

Exuding plenty of Roman character and rustic charm, there are several lovely original features in this home – the most striking of which are the painted frescoed ceilings dating back hundreds of years. The chequered floors are another nice touch that point back to the history of the palazzo. Elsewhere, it's a stylish and modern apartment with coffee coloured walls, a black leather sofa and a chic dining area with quirky chairs. Right by the window, it's a great spot to feast on fettuccini on those cosy evenings in. Come morning, enjoy your double espresso perched on an elegant ghost stool around the breakfast bar, before mapping out the day's tourist itinerary. And where better place to start than the Colosseum – a thirteen-minute wander from your door. A stroll around the immediate neighbourhood of Monti provides that authentic, local feel too. 

Centurion Violet

Waking up to views of Rome’s monumental Colosseum through your window is a moment you’ll never tire of at this immaculate apartment, perched right in the heart of the Old Town.

Housed in a handsome palazzo befitting of any gladiator, from the outside, this place is straight out of ancient Roman times. But inside, this apartment is as cool and contemporary as it gets – with slick monochrome finishes and luxurious detailing that Italians do so well.

Linger over freshly brewed coffees in the boutique-style bedroom or get together for a lazy breakfast in the dining area – wherever you choose, those views of the world’s most iconic amphitheatre will be right there. And if you’re impressed now, just imagine this place at night when the ornate columns and arches are aglow. That’s a memory right there.

When it’s time to delve into Rome’s wander-worthy streets, get off to a flying start at the mighty Colosseum (a four-minute walk) – best seen early in the mornings to beat the crowds. Then make a beeline for the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, or the Trevi Fountain – less than a half-hour stroll away. 


A Hundred Days & Nights

No monument captures the spirit of Rome quite as like the Colosseum, and being as close to the amphitheatre as this home is a real privilege. Just six minutes (on foot) to the emblematic attraction, and a traditional local area full of authentic eateries and beautiful tangerine buildings – you're perfectly placed here. Back home, you'll find a sociable open-plan living room, kitchen and dining area benefitting from sleek grey floors, tasteful artwork of the city by night and plenty of natural light pouring in. Wandering through the home, you'll notice a collection of art and literature books, quirky adornments and funky printed wallpapers in the bedrooms. There, those who are working from home during their stay will be able to power through emails at the dedicated desk spaces. The other thing that really makes the flat stick out is Simona and her hosting. She’s an absolute delight and will do everything possible to make your stay as good as it can be.

Hot Off The Press

Fast Cars is a great base for exploring Rome. Nestled in Monti (one of the city’s most charming neighbourhoods), with picturesque views of Foro di Augusto, we think this home has a lot to offer. Although it’s on the minimalist side, the features of the nineteenth-century building blend well with the more contemporary furniture. It’s right beside Mercato Rionale Monti, a food market popular with locals and tourists alike, where you can pick up fresh ingredients to cook up a storm at home.

Fast Cars

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

The three things that stand out about Urban Meadow are the location, the building, and the balcony. Beyond these, it’s a very comfortable, but not outstanding, place, but once you factor them in, everything changes. It’s on one of the nicest streets in Monti, and is not only impressive from the street, but also from the building’s courtyard. The steel and glass that dominate contrast well with the exterior façade, and the abundance of plants lifts the spirits of the whole area.

A few minutes’ strolling takes you to the ancient walls of Rome’s most famous sight, and the streets around the apartment are filled with local trattoria, cafes, bars and supermarkets to stock up on supplies.

The balcony is furnished with a bistro set for two – perfect for a morning coffee or evening tipple as the sun sets over the rooftops of historic Rome. If you’re not exploring the gelato shops and pizzerias of your neighbourhood, perhaps cook something in the sunlight-filled kitchen. Its wood accents, pristine white walls and array of pot plants give a relaxed, boho feel. The bright blue and sunshine-yellow feature walls in the living room and bedroom add a touch of fun and traditional, tall windows in both rooms let the natural light pour in.  

An Emperor's View

What a great location this lovely home has – it's just a six-minute stroll from Emperor Nero's Golden House (Domus Aurea), while the Colosseum is eight minutes on foot and the Roman Forum is ten.

Back at this apartment, housed in a 19th-century building, there's a wonderful terrace with a comfy sofa, which is just what you need after a day exploring the Eternal City. There's a dining table here too, perfect for alfresco suppers of cacio e pepe (a Roman staple of pasta, pepper and cheese). Inside, we love that there's a lot of natural light, which helps the trendy Sansevieria plants to thrive. Mix up a Campari in the modern kitchen and relax on the plush purple sofa – bliss.



Odes & Hymns

It’s easy to work out where the owner found inspiration for this gallery-like apartment – all you need to do is wander around the local neighbourhood of Monti. Bustling cafés, ornate architecture, and ancient grandeur is all around. A nine-minute stroll in either direction will take you to two of the city’s most majestic sights – the Colosseum and the Foro Romano. With antiquity and arts all around you, the theme continues as you return home.

Many of us are content with painting walls in a calming, neutral tone, but the owner of this apartment had bigger plans. In a nod to the frescoes of the city, the walls are painted in trompe-l'œil effect – with clever positioning of the mirrors, the artwork appears in 3D. While the kitchen tiles and dining table have also enjoyed some brushwork, and this art project was just one effort in the restoration of this nineteenth-century home.

We love the terracotta-coloured tilework, adorned by vintage pieces of furniture dotted throughout the living space and bedroom. Pad across tiles and decorative rugs towards the double doors – this scene isn’t an optical illusion. You’ve got a private balconette with colourful flowers and scenes of Roman streets below. Is there any better spot for a chilled glass of prosecco?

Three Dimensional

Tranquillity awaits at this whimsical Italian apartment, which you’ll find tucked away down a quiet backstreet in Monti, one of Rome’s most eclectic neighbourhoods. 

Featuring high ceilings and immaculate wooden floors, this is the perfect place to unwind after a day of work or play in Italy's Eternal City.  We particularly love the open-plan living area here and could see ourselves spending hours around the dining table, enjoying a bowl of fresh pasta alfredo and sharing a bottle of dry Frascati wine with our fellow guests. And when night falls, what better place to drift off than the secluded master bedroom, which comes with its very own ensuite bathroom, ideal if you’re after a bit of extra privacy. 

The interior’s not the only thing worth writing home about here though. With the Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum and the Basilica of Saint Mary Major all within easy walking distance, this place is perfectly situated for exploring the city. Tick off the major tourist attractions or stick to the streets of Monti, whiling away the hours in one of its trendy wine bars or vintage boutiques. However you decide to spend your time, we think you'll agree there's no place quite like Rome. 

The Starling's Nest

When it comes to location, you could hardly ask for a more convenient spot to be than this bright and modern apartment, situated just moments away from the Forum and the Colosseum. At the same time, you’ll benefit from being slightly removed from the main tourist tracks, able to immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of one of Rome’s trendiest areas. 

Arrive to be welcomed by the light-filled open-plan living room and kitchen area, inviting you to kick off your shoes and relax after a long day of exploring the Eternal City. Lounge about on the plush sofa or gather everyone around the dining table for a light supper you’ll be able to rustle up with ease in the well-equipped kitchen. 

For a night of restful sleep head over to the cosy bedrooms, one offering a double bed and the second featuring two singles, with additional sleeping spaces in the living room. Wake up restored and ready for another day of la dolce vita. 

Outside your door, you’ll find yourself just steps away from the vintage stores and charming cafes of Monti and a ten-minute walk from all the splendour of Ancient Rome. 

Fellini's Dreams 

Few places in Rome capture the imagination like Monti’s warrens of independent shops and neighbourhood trattorias. Centurion Brick is on one of the main district's thoroughfares, and while the streets below can get busy, that’s a small price to pay for such a great spot. You're also just a thirteen-minute walk from the Colosseum. From the lively locale to the traditional buildings, there's a real authentic vibe around Monti that we really love – it's the perfect stay for those looking to peel back the curtain on the world's most ancient city. Another thing worth knowing is that there are actually several flats in the building, so Centurion Brick can actually work for much larger groups, assuming that some of the other places are free at the same time. Inside, the home is fresh and functional with sleek mid-century furnishings, Roman-red wallpaper and elegant Kartell chairs. It's a great option if location is your number one priority and you'd like the luxury of having individual bedrooms accompanied by swanky en-suite bathrooms.
