Along with the top sights, renowned pastry shops, cosy eateries, and alfresco bars will please traditionalists and creatives alike. 

Inside, kick back with a good glass of Rioja on the plush sofa, stick on a movie from the home's impressive collection and recover from a busy day of sightseeing. Whether you're waking up in the comfortable bedroom or preparing breakfast in the open kitchen and dining area, you'll feel perfectly at home in this elegant yet cosy space. 

But the real standout here is the desirable postcode. Beat the crowds with an early morning visit to the Trevi Fountain or explore the Pantheon and the surrounding piazzas, teeming with family-run restaurants – pizza, pasta, and limoncello awaits.

Full of colour, this penthouse is a stylish base for a Roman holiday. It’s in the lively district of Trastevere, a bohemian part of Rome known for its wealth of trattorias, bars, and artisan shops. Sights including the Roman Forum and the Colosseum are just across the river, a cab ride away. The modern apartment has all the amenities you’ll need for a city break, including a convenient kitchen and a workspace. Best of all, you’ll have a terrace to unwind on. It’s worth noting that the bed in bedroom two is raised and only accessible via a ladder – it won’t be suitable for everyone.

Welcome Hamper

You’ll find this apartment in a characterful period building in authentic Testaccio. It’s a vibrant, historic district of Rome known for its culinary culture, full of trattorias, restaurants, and markets. The apartment building has an internal courtyard that makes it a peaceful base, perfect for a city break. The neutral hues of this home add to the restful vibe – you can relax here. There’s a kitchen to cook in, and a bright, welcoming living and dining space where you can spend time together.

Mosquito Net

You’ll find this modern apartment through an archway of a historic building which shelters a shared courtyard garden. The living room has a homely feel and there are views across the River Tiber. A well-equipped kitchen makes preparing some Italian cuisine easy or have a walk to one of the local restaurants nearby. You can also take a stroll along the river here on your doorstep or visit many of the city’s cultural attractions within walking distance. These include the Roman Forum and the Coliseum to mention just a few.

Rome is a great city for spotting frescoes, but these mainly date back hundreds — if not thousands — of years. This apartment in the San Saba neighbourhood of the city shows that the tradition is far from long-dead. In the living room and many of the bedrooms, a modern variation on the wall paintings can be seen, adding colour and a sense of grandiosity to the interior.

Elsewhere, the design is wonderfully contemporary, particularly the curvy white dining chairs, sleek burgundy kitchen and equally pristine bathrooms. Another standout feature has to be the large private terrace, which has plenty of seating on which to enjoy the peace and quiet of this residential neighbourhood.

When you're in the mood for sightseeing, possibly the most famous fresco in the world — Michaelangelo's ceiling in the Sistine Chapel — takes just under twenty minutes to reach by taxi, but there are other notable attractions a bit closer, too. The Baths of Caracalla are ten minutes away on foot and the Colosseum takes about double that time.

DVD Library

Nestled in the peaceful district of San Saba, this apartment places you in a wonderful part of Rome. You’ll find easy access to local amenities and there are great public transport links providing connections with iconic sights across the city. From here, it’s just 2-kilometres to the Colosseum, while the Pantheon and Trastevere are also within easy reach. Your host can help organise a range of extra services including airport transfers, massages and breakfast. Plus, you’ll have two terraces for your morning coffee and evening drinks.

First Aid Kit

This apartment in the Testaccio neighbourhood of Rome is a shining example of a somewhere we'd be more than happy to stay in the Italian capital. Quite literally in the case of the gleaming chequerboard tiling, parquet-style flooring and black marble in the master bathroom, which reflect the light beautifully and make this home feel gloriously light. The open-concept kitchen-dining area feels geared towards shared mealtimes, which is only appropriate given the locale's reputation as a gastronomic hotspot. Stroll over to Testaccio's glass-roofed market in under ten minutes and pick up some fresh ingredients for a home-prepared feast. Alternatively, if you're feeling lazy — or intrepid, however you want to frame it — there are a wide choice of restaurants nearby from which to take your pick.

Mondo Nuovo

Step into the heart of the Eternal City with a stay in this cosy pad, nestled in the vibrant Trastevere neighbourhood. Tailor-made for two, it’s the perfect place to relax after a busy day – that said, you can add a couple more guests in with the sofa bed in the living room, though it’s a bit of a squeeze. The kitchen here is basic, so you won’t be able to test your culinary skills too much – but with restaurants lining the streets below, meals out are a must. And with Trastevere station nearby, you'll have easy access to public transport when you’re ready to explore Rome. 

Liberty in Rome

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

This apartment in Trastevere is ideal for those keen to drop off their bags and head out into the city to explore. Sure, at full occupancy two people will have to take the sofa bed in the living room, but it won’t be at any real expense of lounge space. The terrace is an added bonus here, just the spot for an evening glass of limoncello – it is slightly overlooked by neighbouring homes, but that’s unlikely to worry you as the Italian sun warms your skin. 

Latin Love

Paid Parking

Situated in the vibrant Ostiense district, you'll be a short stroll from the iconic Pyramid of Cestius and the Porta San Paolo. You’ll also find a wide range of cafes, restaurants and shops in this neighbourhood, while other attractions can be easily reached via public transport. Inside this studio apartment, there’s an industrial-style kitchen for cooking some Italian cuisine and from here there are French doors to a verdant winter garden. Whether you're seeking relaxation or a Roman adventure, this apartment offers an ideal base.

For those who want to see Rome through a local's eyes, this charming one-bed, which blends traditional features with modern comfort, may be just what you're after. It's located in Monteverde, a quaint neighbourhood not far from the centre. Well-connected by public transport, it's an excellent choice for anyone planning to see the popular sights while also wanting to make the most of local bars and restaurants. Bright and airy, with multiple balconies and splashes of colour, it offers enough space to suit a family or group of friends.

Monteverde Melody

Underfloor Heating

If you enjoy browsing markets, then this apartment could be for you. The famous Porta Portese market, with its wide range of antiques and vintage clothes stalls, is within walking distance. Many of Trastevere’s cafes and restaurants are a short stroll away, too. For many of Rome’s key attractions, you can use the nearby public transport links or get a cab. Housed in a modern building, this apartment has a private balcony with views over the city. Off this, there’s an open-plan living space that also sleeps two guests on a sofa bed at full occupancy. This place is the ideal base for your Eternal City trip.

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.

Shutterbug

Staying in this apartment allows you to experience the authentic charms of Rome. It’s right in the heart of Porta Portese, home to the most famous vintage market in Italy, and is located between Trastevere and Testaccio. The apartment is housed in a quiet residential complex, perfect for unwinding in between seeing the sights of Rome – we especially love the balcony. At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living space. Your host can provide concierge services to ensure your stay goes without a hitch.

Despite a small footprint, Saguaro makes great use of the space it has. The mezzanine creates a feeling of openness while the colours brighten the place. We also really liked Iacopo, who we found really patient and helpful (even for a Plum host). The area is an interesting one, and depending on your point of view, could be considered a downside, as it’s a bit out of many of the main tourist hotspots. It is, however, an opportunity to experience Rome as a Roman would, free from the crowds and vendors.

Rome is often thought of in terms of narrow, winding alleyways and hidden passages. However, the grand scale of this home flies in the face of that perceived wisdom. It occupies two whole floors of an imposing villa (there's also a separate flat that you can add into the mix) in the residential district of Monteverde, an affluent area a little detached from the tourist crowds. While the house is undoubtedly impressive, it feels like a well-loved family home rather than a museum showpiece, which lends it a relaxed atmosphere that we loved. If you want to go in search of the action, you're around a twenty-minute walk from trendy Trastevere. This pretty pocket of Medieval Rome is packed with neighbourhood trattorias serving impeccable food, stylish speakeasies with intriguing cocktail menus, and all manner of vintage and antique boutiques where you can lose a couple of hours.


Two Days of Peace

A balcony with views over the neighbourhood awaits at this home. Or, unwind inside and relax in the large and colourful living room. We should mention that guests three and four will be sleeping in the lounge on a sofa bed. The kitchen is quite compact, but it has been well-designed and has everything you need to cook some Italian cuisine. Location-wise, the neighbourhood allows you to live like a local, while a lot of Rome’s key landmarks are a metro ride away – the transport links here are excellent.

Arancione Vivido

Nestled in the heart of Trastevere, this modern apartment is an ideal base for a family or a group of friends keen to be in the heart of the action. With a homely vibe and pops of colour providing character, you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay in this home. And location-wise, it ticks a lot of boxes. You don’t need a car to explore here – wander through the narrow alleys on foot, stopping off at authentic eateries and bars along the way. And a visit to Janiculum Hill, known locally as Gianicolo, is a must – the views across Rome are not to be missed. 

Rome Blush

This retro-chic apartment of offers a slightly different experience from many of our other homes in Rome. Rather than the bustle of the tourist centre, you’ll be in the leafy, twentieth-century streets of Monteverde Vecchio where traditional pasta restaurants and pubs serving artisan beer sit alongside weekly markets and antique shops. 
 
It’s a fitting locale for this historic apartment, as the host’s family have lived here since 1927, and some of the elegant furnishings, portraits, and other artworks decking the apartment’s walls go back further still. We love the antique camera that creates a memorable welcome, as well as the blue kitchen that provides the main sociable hub here. Gather together for breakfasts of fresh coffee and locally bought pastries at the table, or better yet, step put onto the private terrace for a sunny start to the day. This is also the ideal spot to treat yourself to a glass of Italian red before sampling the local trattorias, while the bedrooms wait to drift you off into a peaceful night’s sleep after a busy day of fun and sightseeing. 
 
Speaking of exploring, head to the  Porta Portese market in Trastevere on Sundays to experience Rome’s oldest flea market (a twenty-five-minute walk) and enjoy a stroll along the Tiber River, eighteen minutes away on foot. You’re also a thirteen-minute walk from Villa Sciarra, while the famous Mouth of Truth is forty minutes on foot from your door.

Situated in the Trastevere district, this modern apartment has access to some fantastic communal amenities. There’s a gym, rooftop terraces to enjoy with views over the city and a co-working space, making this place ideal for both leisure and business travellers. The apartment itself also has a private balcony reached from the open-plan living room (this space sleeps two guests on a sofa bed at full capacity). There's also another small balcony off the bedroom. The public transport links here are great, too, so reaching Rome’s key attractions is easy and you’ll find a variety of trattorias, bars and independent shops in the area. 

L'Eleganza di Rome

Baby Bath

Unpretentious and reassuring, Shoreline is comfortable, and the kind of place where things work without any fuss. It’s on the lower ground floor, so views are out of the question, but while it’s not overly bright, it’s not really any different to any number of the old flats in narrow streets closer to the centre of the city. However, as it’s in Monteverde, the streets are wide and lined with trees, the traffic much calmer, and the tourists far away.


Shoreline

Live like a Roman at this traditional apartment in the centuries-old Testaccio neighbourhood, sitting right on the pretty piazza. Surround yourself with history and culture, and be just a short stroll from the Circus Maximus, the Jewish Ghetto and the district of Trastevere. You'll find plenty of friendly bars and authentic restaurants nearby, as well as a village-like atmosphere running through the cobbled streets. And, after a day of sightseeing, return to your standing balcony for a refreshing drink as you perch and watch the locals go about their evening below. Although the apartment lacks a proper living area, we reckon you'll be too busy exploring the area to mind that much.

The feeling of a family home is hard to replicate on holiday, almost by definition. Even a place that has the right sleeping arrangements usually seems to be lacking something unquantifiable. As soon as we arrived at Fuchsia, we felt its inner warmth (and not just from the crackling stove). It’s quirky and individual – a far cry from more hotel-like apartments – but this sense of fun is never forced. 


Fuchsia

There are 'holiday homes' and holiday 'homes' – while the first functions as little more than a bed for the night, the second offers you a chance to experience a more authentic, everyday experience in your destination of choice. This cosy, city-centre apartment definitely falls into the latter category, and it's all the better for it. Of course, there are places you could stay closer to the most famous tourist sights, but here you have the chance to get stuck into real Roman life. Testaccio is the historic home of Rome's slaughterhouses. Once upon a time, its distinctive offal-based cuisine was served out of necessity. Nowadays, it has been elevated to a gourmet delicacy. For lunch, walk ten minutes to Trentatre, a chic cafeteria-style restaurant that serves up wholesome, seasonal dishes at incredibly competitive prices. For food on the go, pick up a trapizzino – a pizza pocket stuffed with sweetmeats. Alternatively, grab a seat at Checchino Dal 1887. Nowhere better represents the area than this six-generation family-owned and operated eatery. If the local cuisine inspires you, it’s easy to imagine yourself swanning through the local food markets and chatting to the vendors before whipping up dinner in the flat. With its innovative trattorias and cool craft breweries, a short five-minute walk to trendy Trastevere offers an entirely different atmosphere. And if you do need to get to the centre, it’s just a few stops on the metro.


Take Flight

This apartment is situated within walking distance of the Vatican, as well as Trastevere with its trattorias, craft beer pubs and artisan shops. For many of Rome’s other attractions, you’ll need to get a cab or make use of this location’s excellent public transport links. The apartment itself has a modern kitchen with a dining table and while there’s no proper lounge to speak of, there’s a seating area with two armchairs. This place is ideal for business professionals, friends, and families looking to experience life in central Rome.

Roman Floral

You can relax on this apartment’s sunny terrace or chill out in the well-designed open-plan living room. There’s a well-equipped kitchen too for when you want to cook some Italian cuisine or there are a variety of great eateries in the vicinity. This area allows you to live like a local and offers a slower pace of life. While a lot of Rome’s key attractions are a ride away – the transport links here are good so exploring the city is easy.

Terraces & Vines

With its contemporary style full of sleek furnishings and decor, this is slice of modern living in an especially ancient part of Rome. Find yourselves right in the thick of the action as soon as you leave your door, with the Piazza Navona and Campo de Fiori close by, and the iconic Pantheon just down the street. When you’ve had your fill of sightseeing, kick off your shoes and climb into the cosy bed, or have a coffee outside in the courtyard.

Pantheon Charm

An ode to 1960s Italian cool, this studio apartment blends elegant vintage decor with modern stylings to create a space that feels like you’ve stepped straight into a Fellini film. 

We love the old-school design elements here, from the beamed ceilings in the dining area to the vintage sound system and retro colour palette. The feature wall in the bedroom adds warmth and character to the bright and comfortable space, combining groovy 60s patterns in a bold 21st-century way. After waking up to views of the neighbourhood’s rooftops, hop under the bathroom’s rainfall shower for a luxurious soak before catching up on any work you may have at the chic dedicated desk space. Then, slip on your walking shoes for an exciting day of sightseeing. 

Within your bohemian Trastevere neighbourhood, you’ll find plenty of traditional trattorias, craft beer pubs and artisan shops, while the city’s most iconic sights – including the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, Campo de Fiori, Circus Maximus, the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums – are all easily reachable on foot.

Trastevere Twist

Private Parking

Vista Antica immediately grasps you with its view - a spectacular, west-facing panorama of the Colosseum and the Roman Forums. You couldn't be better placed to feel the energy of the eternal city.

Wake up to the sight of one of the world's most breathtaking buildings and feel inspired for a day in the Italian capital. The Roman Forums are just a short walk away, providing an insight into Rome's historical significance. 

Head towards the centre to discover the wealth of iconic landmarks that define the skyline. The Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and Hadrian's Villa top the list of your sightseeing itinerary, fuelled by fresh cups of coffee and Italian pastries. 

At the end of a busy afternoon, treat yourself to some authentic pizza at one of the many charming restaurants. Whilst you're there, you may as well try some of the delicious bottles of wine too.

Return back home in the evening to your cosy apartment that has plenty to offer beyond its wonderful location. The interior is overflowing with character, infused with antiques and high-vaulted ceilings. Come nightfall, the balcony is a dreamy place to chat about the adventures of tomorrow.


Vista Antica

The Duchess is a comfortable place with lots going for it, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t start with that view. A city like Rome is full of views, but even so, this one is special, and the terrace itself is beautiful, with the furniture, the awning and the flowers all around (in summer, at least). This, along with the various antiques inside, makes you feel as if you’re in a Rome that existed 200 years ago, one that’s since been lost. 


The Duchess

You’ll find this apartment just a short stroll from Campo de' Fiori. Iconic landmarks like the Pantheon, the Roman Forum and the Trevi Fountain are also within walking distance, so the location is great. Using high-end materials and furnishings, the apartment has an elegant living room and a large Arclinea kitchen. And if you need to work while away, there’s a desk in one of the bedrooms. Your hosts here have ensured you'll have everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Carrara Marble & Velvet

A short stroll from Campo de’ Fiori and Piazza Navona, this apartment is perfectly located for exploring Rome. It’s ideal for a family that won’t mind the sleeping arrangements, with one guest sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room and one sleeping on an additional sofa bed in the main bedroom. Given its third-floor position, you’ll all need to be able to climb stairs – and you might want to travel light. The exposed wooden beams and traditional decor make this a charming base for seeing the sights of the Eternal City. 

The Eternal Palace

Tucked down a quiet vicolo in Trastevere, this home positions you away from the crowds and yet just a short walk from Rome's top historical attractions, including the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain. Note that you'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance of this home. However, there's plenty of space to relax, and a sofa bed to accommodate groups of up to four guests. You'll also find a table if you need to work from home. The kitchen lacks an oven, but that said, the area is renowned for its culinary delights, so we reckon you'll be out sampling the local eateries most evenings. 

Roman Serenity

You’d be hard-pressed to find a better location than this. Set just moments from the Tiber and a short stroll to Rome’s most iconic sights, this apartment makes sightseeing feel effortless. Inside, space is a little tight – as is often the case in this part of town – but large windows in the living area bring in plenty of light. With herringbone floors, stylish furnishings and a smart layout that maximises every inch, it’s perfectly suited for two.

Roman Herringbone

Jacuzzi

Though this roomy apartment is based in a seventeenth-century palazzo, rustic charm is not the only thing on offer. While there are plenty of characterful touches here (think vaulted ceilings, arched doorways, even an original spiral staircase made of Roman brick), what makes this home stand out are the twenty-first-century updates. We're talking a lofted glass mezzanine, a two-seater sauna in the downstairs bedroom (the perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring Rome), a separate fitness room with a treadmill for squeezing in workouts and a contemporary kitchen that makes cooking a breeze. There's even a shady patio – whether you're sipping espresso in the mornings or enjoying an alfresco dinner in the Italian sunshine, it's an excellent spot to unwind. And you couldn't ask for a better location to take it all in. Piazza Navona is just a three-minute stroll away, and other world-famous landmarks like the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon are also within walking distance. Plus, you're surrounded by cafes, restaurants and a lively atmosphere, making this apartment a top-notch place to call home.

Il Balcone Romano

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

Obsidian & Cream is a quietly stylish home located in the South West of Rome in the heart of Trastevere, renowned for its narrow streets and authentic Italian feel. Here, the city's busiest sights are left behind for charming backstreets, lined by cosy cafes and shops. You'll be able to stroll along the River Tiber, take a trip to the Basilica Di Santa Maria (a two-minute walk away), and come back to relax in this welcoming apartment all in an afternoon's escapades. With sleek bathrooms and two truly comfortable bedrooms as well as extra space on the sofa bed, this humble abode would suit a group of friends in Rome for a few days perfectly. While there may be lots of sights to tick off around the city, the home invites guests to unwind in pure comfort as the warm, earthy tones and rustic charm throughout, makes for a laid-back ambience worth writing home about. We particularly love dark wooden doors and beams that run across the ceilings – as well as the beautiful stone sink in the master bathroom. Trust us when we say, you won't want to leave the relaxed way of living here, let alone the feeling of zen that flows freely around this apartment.
