Tucked into the historic Palazzo Costaguti on Piazza Mattei, this apartment puts you in the heart of Rome's Jewish Ghetto, with Capitoline Hill a seven-minute walk and the Roman Forum just fourteen-minutes on foot.

Climb to the fifth floor and you'll find a private terrace with outdoor seating and open views over the Roman roofscape, a rewarding spot as the city winds down for the evening.
