Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment makes a practical base in the Eternal City. It has everything you need to relax and unwind, from a desk for business travellers to a small balcony for sundowners – there's even wallpaper inspired by Italian gardens. There's also a small kitchen, though we think you'll prefer to dine out since Italy is known for its cuisine. Sleeping options are flexible here, as two bedrooms have a single bed and double bed, while the living room has a sofa bed. Location-wise, you're a bit far from the city centre – about twenty minutes by car – but the Vatican is about a fifteen-minute walk away.

Space may be a little tight for all nine guests – we think it'd be more comfortable for seven.
There's a workspace in the lounge if you plan to work from home.
You may want to hire a car in this location, as it's not right in the heart of the city. Free street parking is available in the local area.

Local guide
About Aurelio
Despite its proximity to the Vatican, Aurelio is still often overlooked by Romans and tourists alike, only mentioned as the butt of the joke. However, it has more to offer than most would believe. A bustling residential district, it has plenty of local haunts with the clientele spilling out onto the street, as well as several green squares and a Russian Orthodox church, Santa Caterina Martire. It’s worth noting that some parts can be hard to reach, even with public transport, and it becomes less prepossessing as you head further north or west.
