This city apartment may lack character, but if you can look beyond the minimal furnishings, you'll find an ideal bolthole for exploring Rome – you're just steps away from the Vatican City. The open-plan living space catches the sunshine, and there's plenty of space to enjoy dinners together with friends or family – though, with traditional neighbourhood restaurants in Trastevere on your doorstep, you might not cook at home much. From here, you can reach Castel Sant'Angelo in twenty minutes, but the nearby bus stop makes it easy to explore the rest of Rome.

However, with the Vatican City, we know the exact date – 67AD when the apostle St Peter was martyred at the foot of the Vatican Hill and buried nearby. Over the next 2000 years, his modest tomb would evolve into St Peter's Basilica, the centre of the Catholic Church and one of the most visited spots in Rome. The Vatican...
