Housed in a prestigious building, set just footsteps from the Vatican City, this central apartment offers a relaxing stay in the heart of Rome's ancient history. Surrounded by excellent restaurants, friendly café-bars, bookshops and bakeries, this desirable location means you can do most of your sightseeing on foot. Whether you're walking over to the Vatican museums, St Peter's Basilica, or the Colosseum, it's all well within reach.

Back home, we particularly like the funky wallpaper print in the bedroom, while the contemporary furnishings make for seamless modern living. But the real standout here is, of course, your private terrace, complete with sun loungers, a swing and dome views of St. Peter's. All that's left to do is unpack your bags and spill out onto the terrace for an early-evening aperitivo, before hitting the lively streets below.
