Adorned with hand-painted frescoes, gilded finishes and vibrant furnishings, this large apartment near Piazza Navona is full of character. While there are only two recognised bedrooms, the home can fit up to eight guests thanks to two sofa beds in the living area, which itself flows into a narrow kitchen area which doesn't afford much space for the dining table. The bedrooms themselves are adorned with mirrors, makeup chairs, fireplaces and other expressive design touches, with both offering en-suite bathrooms (though the primary bedroom's stands apart with its decadent corner bathtub). Stepping out of the building, you'll be right in the historic heart of Rome, with Campo de' Fiori less than five minutes away and the Forum reachable in twenty.

About Campo de' Fiori
The pleasures to be found in the Campo de' Fiori - the name translates as Field of Flowers - are multiple in their simplicity.

Host
This home is managed by Riccardo
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Riccardo and his team go a good job when it comes to bridging the gap between the professional and the personal. Their operation is super smooth, and they’re on call 24/7, but at the same time, they made us feel like part of the family, chatting, offering tips on where to go and what to see, and even keeping contact after we’d left.
