Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Clean and minimalist are often used as euphemisms for uninspirational and bland – a safe choice that won’t offend but won’t excite either. However, your host Luca has managed the not insignificant task of creating a simple, calm interior that still manages to evoke emotion. It’s also practical – with two bathrooms, it feels like the sofa bed is a feasible option rather than thrown in to inflate the guest count. The location is a twenty-minute walk from the Vatican and convenient for exploring further afield on the metro, with the likes of the Colosseum within a twenty-five-minute journey. With elegant buildings, neatly designed streets, and residential charisma, Prati mixes the charm of classic Rome with the pace of a bustling business district.

Local guide
About Prati
Prati sits cheek by jowl with Vatican City - not that you would necessarily know from within. 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. Once a verdant area of meadows, vegetable gardens and vineyards,...

Host
This home is managed by Luca
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Luca and his team have been looking after apartments in Rome for years now, so you'll be in a safe set of hands. They focus most of their work in the old Jewish Quarter – they think it's one of the best examples of medieval Rome, and it's slightly detached from the main tourist thoroughfares.
This home is a Plum Guide Award winner.
