Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this apartment set back from the bustle of the inner city in the authentic Testaccio district. Take a stroll over to the famous Testaccio Market or the Tiber River (it's just across the road), or dive into one of the nearby trattorias and cafes to mingle with the locals. The Piramide Metro station is just a short stroll away, too, for when it’s time to explore Rome’s other must-sees. Back home, don’t be fooled by the historic building's exterior. Inside, this home has been converted to make a great practical base. Bedrooms are light-filled thanks to those period windows, and there’s a living room for quiet evenings in.

Home truths
If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
The living room will feel compact if four guests are staying, as there are only two armchairs. But there's space to spill out around the dining table instead.
The communal areas of this building might appear a little worn and dated in parts.

About Testaccio
Testaccio is built on food, or rather, food containers. Founded in first century BC as a river port, it was where Rome's supplies of olive oil, grain and wine arrived into the city. Everything was transported in terracotta amphorae, which were smashed on arrival and discarded. Centuries of this practice created a vast mound of terracotta fragments – the Monte dei Cocci – which has become the district's defining feature....
