For a spacious one-bedroom apartment close to the action, look no further than this convenient address. A stone's throw from Parco del Colle Oppio – which overlooks Rome's iconic Colosseum – and a short journey from the baroque beauty of Piazza Navona and Trastevere's trendy trattorias, nearby bus stops and metro stations ensure this home offers easy access to the city sights from a peaceful residential base. The apartment itself offers ample space for up to four people, with large windows illuminating the main open-plan living space, while the bedroom is slightly set back from the road for an undisturbed night of beauty sleep. A well-equipped kitchen includes everything you could need for a quiet night in. Still, with Testaccio's traditional culinary scene a twenty-minute metro journey away, we don't imagine it'll get all that much use. One of Rome's last remaining residential neighbourhoods in the historic city centre, authentic Roman experiences don't come much more real than Testaccio.

About Colosseum & Roman Forums
As home to the most famous landmark in Rome, today Celio is better known as Colosseum. It's not surprising – the amphitheatre casts a wide shadow across almost all of the district, not least for the heaving masses of tourists that collect at its heels all year round.
