Gladiator Reef is not one that will appeal to people who are after neutral tones and understated design. There’s a mix of bright colours all over the place, and this gives the space a bit of individuality. The host, Mary, also pushes the boat out when it comes to service - there’s a daily cleaning service, as well as free laundry, great breakfast options, and recommendations of all the places tourists don’t know about. If that wasn’t enough, it’s also only a few hundred metres from the Colosseum.

About Colosseum & Roman Forums

As home to the most famous landmark in Rome, today Celio is better known as Colosseum. It's not surprising – the amphitheatre casts a wide shadow across almost all of the district, not least for the heaving masses of tourists that collect at its heels all year round. Take a few steps east of the Colosseum itself, and you enter a laid-back, unpretentious area of Rome, home to the city's...

Host


This home is managed by Maria Alberta

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Maria has several flats in the same building, and runs them almost as a hotel. The level of service she offers is brilliant, but you still get the freedom of a holiday rental, and all in the shade of the Colosseum.

This home is a Plum Guide Award winner.
