Sitting in the Monti district with the Colosseum a seven-minute walk away and the Roman Forum just five minutes on foot, this apartment puts ancient Rome closer than almost anywhere else in the city. The street below offers cobblestone cafes, antique shops, and artisan boutiques. Inside, art fills the living room, one bedroom looks out onto garden greenery, and a library of books gives quieter evenings a welcome shape. The three en-suite bathrooms are a bonus too, especially when you're getting ready for a busy day of sightseeing.

Home truths
You'll need to climb two flights of stairs to reach the apartment – there is no lift, so it's worth factoring this in if anyone in your group has limited mobility or you're arriving with heavy luggage.
You're in the heart of one of Rome's busiest historic districts, so some street noise comes with the territory – closing the shutters keeps the outside world at bay.

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.

Host
This home is managed by Burghesius
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Burghesius is led by sister Lavinia and brother Gregorio Borghese. Starting a business with a sibling might seem bold — but for us, it felt natural. Together, we set out to create something genuinely different: a new standard of luxury. From Rome, to Tuscany, and beyond. With years of experience in hospitality and property management, we understood that the modern traveller seeks more than a place to stay. They seek a feeling, a rhythm, a home that blends comfort, character, and discretion.
