With its exposed beam ceilings, wood floors and large windows, this colourful home just outside the Vatican seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern comforts. The living room is a laid-back affair with large plump sofas to lounge on while reading a book from the open shelves or admiring the eye-catching art that pops in rainbow hues against the white walls. We love the bright dining area where a glass table sits beneath the chandelier, and the open kitchen that makes socialising a breeze. The bedroom here is simple yet elegant, with an en suite boasting a rainfall shower with views of the courtyard and a bathtub with chromotherapy lights to ramp up your soak's serenity. With St. Peter’s Square just a five-minute walk away, you’ve got culture and history right on your doorstep. That said, with your host able to arrange at-home massages, private chefs, restaurant reservations and tickets to the city’s top events, your home gives you a slice of heaven without ever needing to step out the front door.
