Waking up to views of Rome’s monumental Colosseum through your window is a moment you’ll never tire of at this immaculate apartment, perched right in the heart of the Old Town. Housed in a handsome palazzo befitting of any gladiator, from the outside, this place is straight out of ancient Roman times. But inside, this apartment is as cool and contemporary as it gets – with slick monochrome finishes and luxurious detailing that Italians do so well. Linger over freshly brewed coffees in the boutique-style bedroom or get together for a lazy breakfast in the dining area – wherever you choose, those views of the world’s most iconic amphitheatre will be right there. And if you’re impressed now, just imagine this place at night when the ornate columns and arches are aglow. That’s a memory right there. When it’s time to delve into Rome’s wander-worthy streets, get off to a flying start at the mighty Colosseum (a four-minute walk) – best seen early in the mornings to beat the crowds. Then make a beeline for the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, or the Trevi Fountain – less than a half-hour stroll away.
