Just a ten-minute walk from the Vatican Museums, this viable apartment works particularly well for larger groups of friends or family who value a bit more privacy than a standard flat might offer. The bedrooms are set up to be largely self-contained, with plenty of storage, and en-suite bathrooms all round. Each has its own look, although all three follow an industrial-style theme with artistic lighting and vibrant wallpaper prints – and for those keeping one eye on work during their stay, you'll find a well-designed desk space in each bedroom. There's a charming, mint-green kitchenette to whip up simple meals in and a quirky breakfast bar to map out the day's adventure. Speaking of, visit St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican City, less than a half-hour walk from your front door. Surrounded by cheery cafés, alfresco bars and authentic restaurants, this is a glorious spot from which to experience Rome.

Local guide
About Valle Aurelia
Valle Aurelia is directly behind the Vatican, but you’d never guess from the number of tourists. Perhaps the nickname, Valle dell’Inferno (Valley of Hell) is enough to put them off. Rest assured though, it’s not a comment on the place, rather a reference to the presence of enormous furnaces in the area, which were in use up until the 1920s. It was the heart of metalworking, clay firing and brickmaking in Rome for centuries, and this instilled a vibrant working-class character to the neighbourhood, which endures today.
