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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sitting on the banks of the Tiber River in the authentic Rione XX Testaccio neighbourhood, this apartment puts you in an ideal position to experience the best of the city's history and culture. You're a short walk from the start of the Roman Forum which leads to the beloved Colosseum in just a matter of minutes. 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. 

The Modern Historian

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

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.

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

Step-Free Access

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

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

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.

For those wanting to see Rome through a local's eyes, this charming apartment, which blends traditional features with modern comforts, may be 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, such as the Colosseum or the Vatican, while having the option to hang out in a less touristy part of town. And, with authentic bars and restaurants just outside your door, the latter may be too good to turn down. 

Monteverde Melody

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

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

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. 

The Violet Rose

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. 


Shutter Speed

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.

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.

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.

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

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. 

Osteria

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

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.

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

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. 

Obsidian & Cream

Simply put, Paparazzi is stylish, well-kept and right in the middle of Rome. Domenico is incredibly attentive as a host, and always ready to help, and while there are a few issues that we found, the majority were unavoidable given the age and positioning of the building (fairly slow wi-fi, for example), and the positives far outweigh the negatives. The apartment has been redone recently and you can really tell, particularly in the bathrooms, which feel very modern and sleek.

Centrally located in the eternal city of Rome, this home is a mere stone's throw from several iconic landmarks, including the Ponte Sisto, where you can overlook the Tiber. And some of those sights you might even spot from the balcony, though when it comes to the outdoor seating, we prefer the patio table in the shade of the pergola. As for the home, the rustic charm of the rafters and furnishings is sweet and well-kept. It's worth noting that despite being spacious, this home's sleeping arrangements feature a double sofa bed and another room with two single sofa beds that might be more suitable for children. With two other double beds available, however, it's the ideal pad for a family getaway.

The Roman Centaur

Situated a short stroll from both the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain, this apartment has a fantastic location for exploring Rome. The Pantheon, the Roman Forum and much more are also within walking distance. There are a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants in the neighbourhood to enjoy too. From this home’s open-plan living space, there are wonderful views of the Basilica of Saint Mary in Cosmedin. You can take in the vistas from the dining table. The kitchen area is quite compact, we would say – there’s no oven, but there’s a hob and a microwave. But, with an address as great as this, will you be spending much time at the apartment?

Vista Basilica

Looking for a central stay in the Eternal City? This apartment sure fits the bill. You'll find it just a short walk from Piazza Navona, putting landmarks, shops, and restaurants at your fingertips. At full capacity, five guests will be on a collection of sofa beds in both the living area and bedroom. If you'd prefer privacy, we think a guest count of four is best. Still, the rustic design is packed with character, and the super convenient location more than makes up for its compact layout.

Nirvana in Navona

Situated in Rome’s Campo de' Fiori, this apartment is ideal for those who want a base with all the necessary comforts but aren't too concerned about frills. That said, the private terrace is pretty wow, with a lounge area, dining area and sweeping city views. We like the traditional features, but you might find the kitchen and bathrooms a little dated. What sold us on this pad was the terrace, the enclosed patio, and the central location – from here, you’re a short walk from the Pantheon and the Roman Forum, while you’ll find plenty of trattorias, neighbourhood bars and little cafes just off your doorstep.

A Touch of Rome

Situated right around the corner from the iconic Colosseum, this three-bedroom apartment is the ideal spot for families and groups seeking the best that Rome has to offer. In the morning, enjoy your coffee out on the balcony, where you can feel the bustly atmosphere of the Eternal City emanate from the streets. While the decor and furniture can feel a bit dated in parts, the true highlight of this home is its stellar location – with the Colosseum and the Roman Forum just down the road, you can’t go far wrong in this home.

Splendour in Rome

Libraries might be out of fashion, but they’ll always hold a special place in our heart. And a home library like La Politica Dell'Autore’s doesn’t come around every day. It’s kind of spectacular, with bookcases lining the entire living room, making the space feel a little bit magical. The small terrace, practically overflowing with plants complements that feeling. The kitchen, unfortunately, is a bit basic, but luckily there are plenty of restaurants in Prati, so you’ll just have to go and sample the local cuisine.


La Politica Dell'Autore

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 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.
