Canna Lily is one of the smallest places we have in Rome, but that shouldn’t put you off. The atmosphere is almost overwhelmingly pleasant - it’s hard to find fault. Practically, beyond the issue of space, it also does very well. The kitchen is decently sized given the confines, and its position between the St. Peter’s and the Tiber makes it a great base to see both the Vatican and the historic centre of the city, on the opposite bank of the river.

Host
This home is managed by Ana
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Ana looks after two apartments and now has managed to convert this into her full-time job. We found her to be really responsive (even for a Plum host) and clued up on the local area, with lots of tips on things to do that go beyond the standard tourist experience.
This home is a Plum Guide Award winner.
