Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated a stone’s throw from the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, this home puts the city’s ancient past right on your doorstep. Landmarks like the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain are also within walking distance, so seeing the sights couldn’t be easier. As for the apartment, it’s packed with character (see the timber beams and tiled floors), with the bonus of a balcony for coffee and cocktails. The kitchen comes in handy too, but you’ll probably spend most mealtimes sampling the local cuisine – from pizza and pasta to perfect gelato.

Home truths
While there's a lift here, after exiting the lift you'll still need to climb a few stairs to reach the entrance of the home. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
Parking in Rome can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. The city's main train station, Roma Termini, is a fourteen-minute walk away.

Local guide
About Monti
It's a truth universally acknowledged that in every city, there is a district just waiting to be described as expressing the spirit of the old Soho. In Rome, Monti is that place, and the connection is a fair one - although what Monti lacks in advertising agencies and mustachioed tech bros, it makes up for in creative enclaves, smoky bars and delicious places to eat. Nestled right in the heart...
