This Prati pad is perfectly located for a trip to Rome. It's just a stone's throw from the River Tiber, only fifteen minutes or so from Piazza Navona and the Spanish Steps. Closer to home, there's Castel Sant'Angelo and the neighbourhood's lively wine bars, boutiques, and gourmet restaurants. Part of an Umbertine palace, the apartment is equal parts modern and cosy. The living space isn't quite big enough for everyone, especially with the sofa bed in use. That said, with an eat-in kitchen and an array of comfortable bedrooms to retreat to, we think it does the job for groups wanting to be based in one of Rome's best locales.
