Just a four-minute walk from the Roman Forum and nine minutes from the Colosseum, it makes sense that this home, located in Monti, is set in the first neighbourhood of Rome where the city is said to have been founded. Today you’ll find winding cobblestone streets, craft shops, bustling bars and traditional restaurants lining the charming alleys and squares that end in beautiful churches and Roman ruins alike. Returning home, the stately entryway to the building feels like a grand hotel, and inside your apartment, you’ll find an authentic space bursting with style. Exposed wooden beams and Roman arches are paired with elegant furnishings and your host’s careful eye for detail. After a day on your feet, kick back on the plush purple sofa before retiring to your bedroom – which even has its own little cloister. You’ll also have a private patio, with a beautiful stone fountain and plenty of greenery for a breath of fresh air in the morning while you enjoy an espresso. Then set off and explore one of our favourite parts of Rome.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be on the sofa bed in the living area – as this limits space and seating, we think this home is better suited to two guests
*There are only two sources of natural light in the flat, so you'll likely want the lights on during the day as well
*The ceilings are low in certain places
*The kitchen is very basic and small – great for a snack and espresso, but not ideal for cooking larger meals
*There are three steps required to access this home
*This home has a crib available
