Soak up the best of Rome from this relaxed Prati apartment, just a short stroll from the Vatican Museums and buzzing local food spots. The interiors are simple and fuss-free, but there's everything you need for a comfortable stay. The second bedroom has two single beds top and tailing, so you'll need to be happy sharing. But the real magic? The private terrace. Bursting with character, it’s the heart of the home. Think sunny breakfasts, long lunches, and evening aperitivos surrounded by potted plants. With a prime location and plenty of charm where it counts, this is your laid-back Roman base with a secret garden twist.

Home truths
The living area only has one small armchair. However, there's a table and chairs, with ample room for dining.
The third bedroom has two single bunk beds that top and tail, with one higher than the other.

The patio is overlooked by neighbouring apartments, but the pergola area offers more privacy.
Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones.
