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.

Botanical Dreams

Enjoy the heart of Rome from your own Testaccio apartment. Recently renovated, the space features rustic tiled floors and stone and beam ceilings that feel charming, plus all the essentials for a relaxed, comfortable stay, including Wi-Fi and a TV. It’s just across the road from the famous Testaccio Market and a short stroll to the Piramide metro station, which means you’re ideally placed to explore Rome’s iconic sights, enjoy local trattorias, or take a scenic bike ride along the Tiber.

Cinder & Amber

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

This apartment in Monti is just a short stroll from the iconic Colosseum. Other attractions within walking distance include the Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain and the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major, to name just a few. A lot of care and attention has gone into this home, and we love the blend of character features and modern furnishings. The good-sized open-plan living space is a great place to relax (this room also sleeps guests five and six on a sofa bed). Whether you’re a family or friends, your host is always on hand to ensure you have a fantastic stay.

The Monti Muse

Beautiful Rome – a city of romance, history, and style. It makes sense, then, to stay in an apartment brimming with elegant style and historic touches. 

This apartment can be found in the Jewish Quarter, a beautiful neighbourhood with a rich history. Walking just a few steps from the front door, you’ll find yourself exploring 2000-year-old ruins. Amid the fascinating historical sights, you’ll also have your pick of excellent eateries here – you’re never far from your next great meal in Rome. This lovely home also makes for a great base for exploring the rest of the city – you’re right in the thick of things, so you can easily visit all of Rome’s hotspots on foot. Trastevere and its fabulous nightlife are just a few minutes' walk, as are Piazza Venezia and Piazza Navona.

The apartment itself is a stunningly good find. It’s spacious and bright, decorated in classic Italian style using only the finest furniture. There’s something to admire in every corner, whether it’s the pull-down cocktail bar in the living room, or the antique wooden beams. When you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is a haven. Relax with a good book and a glass of wine before dinner – but will you dine in or head out?  


Buona Serata

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.

Tiber View

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.

Antique Markets

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

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

This apartment boasts an unbeatable location in Rome, just above Piazza Barberini. Staying in such a central spot means you’ll be within walking distance of many of Rome’s most iconic attractions – the Trevi Fountain is only a few minutes away. You’ll also be perfectly placed to hit the shops. This is an excellent base for a family, with interconnected rooms and an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space. Heavy packers, be warned – there are quite a few stairs to tackle here. 

Barberini Bliss

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.

Verdant Verde

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.
