If it wasn’t for the old, exposed-stone walls, you’d think you’d stepped into a wendy house for grown-ups at this unique apartment. There are the outright eccentric touches like the aeroplane seats (complete with seatbelts and the interior of a fuselage) in front of the projector screen, and the small, quirky details like rainbow-bright dinnerware, fire-engine-red cabinets and huge paperclips on the walls. The bedroom is slightly more subdued, in terms of colour, but no less flamboyant. A vaulted, cathedral-style ceiling and archway optical illusion on the wardrobes gives the feeling of being in an ancient chapel. While the bathroom features a wall of art reminiscent of the Rennaisance greats. Set in an ancient park said to be where the she-wolf found Romulus and Remus, you’re a short walk from the Colosseum and Roman Forum. The streets around are surrounded by trattoria and gelato shops and there’s a historic monument nearly everywhere you turn, including in the grounds of this apartment.

About The Jewish Quarter
The Ghetto of Rome was witness to some of the worst excesses of anti-semitism of the last 500 years. It was established by Papal decree in 1555, when all Roman Jews were consigned to a three hectare patch of the city, best known for its propensity to flood, and limited to jobs as fishmongers, ragmen and pawnbrokers. More than 300 years of segregation were only ended in 1870, when many...
