Set within a handsome 19th-century building in the neighbourhood of Testaccio, this apartment offers an authentic slice of Roman life. Step outside and you'll find traditional trattorias and markets on your doorstep, while the city centre is a scenic thirty-minute stroll away. Back home, the apartment has a warm, homely feel, with book-lined shelves and windows that look out over the Tiber River on one side and a leafy internal courtyard on the other – a peaceful contrast to the buzz of the city beyond.
