Flavius is a beautiful flat in its own right, but it’s upstaged by the view. Separated from the Colosseum by just a few ruins, the vast windows surround the amphitheatre like a picture frame. And there’s the balcony, if you want to enjoy the fresh air at the same time as the view. The apartment is very new, and it feels impeccably kept. The kitchen, in particular, is very modern, and the rainfall shower was one of our favourite parts.

*While there is a double sofa bed and a pull-out bed in the living room, we think the space would feel a bit small with more than four guests
