This stylish apartment makes a great base for your next Roman escape. Inside, it’s modern and fuss-free, with a well-equipped kitchen and everything you need to help you feel at home. Step out onto the private balcony for a leafy view below, or sink into the sofa after a day exploring the capital. There’s plenty on your doorstep here, from cafes and shops to easy transport links so you can sightsee across the whole city. At full capacity, two guests sleep on a sofa bed, but the room can be closed off for privacy – a fair trade for such a prime location.

The newest of Rome's districts, built between 1873-1921, its road plan was designed so that none of the streets would have St. Peter’s Dome in the background, a reflection of the tension between the new Italian state and the Vatican during its construction.
