We were sold on the private terrace at this bang-on central Rome apartment alone – and that was before we’d even seen the interiors. Set within a 17th-century building, the home’s 13-foot vaulted ceilings make a grand first impression. It’s worth noting, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the second bedroom here. But the thoughtful extras more than make up for that. There’s a dedicated desk in the main bedroom for remote working and a mini bar primed for evening aperitifs. Tucked along a peaceful street, it’s hard to believe the best of Rome is right on your doorstep. Take your pick from Piazza Barberini or the Trevi Fountain – it’s all just a short stroll away.

Local guide
About Spagna
Spagna is, perhaps unsurprisingly, focussed around the eponymous Piazza di Spagna. Along with the Trevi fountain, it’s one of the most visited sights in the entire city. Things weren’t always so auspicious – in the 16th century, the area was Rome’s red light district, but today it’s better known for the vine-covered romance of Via Margutta, home to Gregory Peck's impoverished journalist in Roman Holiday. This is not the place...
