Placed right in the beating heart of the upmarket Prati district, and just steps away from the Vatican, it’s hard to imagine a better location for this stylish apartment with a terrace. Regular visitors to Rome will know that Prati, perched above the Vatican and across the Tiber, is the place to be. Within its wide, sweeping avenues and elegant buildings, there's high-end shopping and cool restaurants aplenty, but less of the crowds. Back at home, you’ll be surprised how spacious and light this home feels, thanks to those lofty, exposed beam ceilings and doors opening out onto a terrace (a rare treat for a property this central). Start your day by firing up the coffee machine as you wait for breakfast to be delivered straight to your door (all included in the stay). Then head outside for a tête-à-tête at the bistro table as you hatch plans for your day ahead. Just don’t hang around too long, the Eternal City is waiting.
