Hidden away in the winding alleyways of Trastevere lies this stylish whitewashed apartment offering a change of pace from the throngs of Rome’s more touristy areas. Outside, there’s a huge sun-dappled terrace, surrounded by fern trees and soft shades of apricot. The dining set has enough room for you and a couple of friends so add a home-cooked al fresco meal to the top of your to-do list. After penning smug postcards in the study, head out to explore your locale. The quiet sloping streets give way to stylish ristorantes, authentic bars and trattorias—perfect for a spritz in the late afternoon. A fifteen-minute walk will take you over the Ponte Sisto and into the centre of town, where the iconic Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and Colosseum are all well within a twenty-minute walk.
