Only five minutes on foot from the Colosseum, this apartment is right around the corner from one of the most famous landmarks in the city. It's a quiet area, but walk for another ten minutes and you'll find yourself surrounded by the cafes, vintage shops and traditional eateries in Monti. The standout feature here is the exposed brickwork, which adds some rustic Roman charm to compliment the otherwise contemporary decor. Another highlight is the terrace – bright, vibrant and brimming with greenery, it's the perfect spot to unwind with a bottle of Italian wine each evening. We loved the sleek touches in the kitchen and bathroom – both styled in dark blacks and bright whites – and the cosy bedroom is just the ticket after a long day exploring the city on foot. When you don't feel up for walking – or when your feet need a break – there are three metro stations and plenty of tram and bus stops nearby to whisk you around the city.

About Colosseum & Roman Forums
As home to the most famous landmark in Rome, today Celio is better known as Colosseum.

Host
This home is managed by Carmela
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. They say that you should find something you love to do, and get someone to pay you to do it. Carmela used to live abroad, and when she came back she realised that she missed living in an environment where you could meet people from all over the world. In order to scratch that itch, she began to look after flats so that such interactions could become part of her daily life. That was in 2015 and she’s still going strong.
This home is a Plum Guide Award winner.
