Vista Antica immediately grasps you with its view - a spectacular, west-facing panorama of the Colosseum and the Roman Forums. You couldn't be better placed to feel the energy of the eternal city.

Wake up to the sight of one of the world's most breathtaking buildings and feel inspired for a day in the Italian capital. The Roman Forums are just a short walk away, providing an insight into Rome's historical significance.

Head towards the centre to discover the wealth of iconic landmarks that define the skyline. The Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and Hadrian's Villa top the list of your sightseeing itinerary, fuelled by fresh cups of coffee and Italian pastries.

At the end of a busy afternoon, treat yourself to some authentic pizza at one of the many charming restaurants. Whilst you're there, you may as well try some of the delicious bottles of wine too.

Return back home in the evening to your cosy apartment that has plenty to offer beyond its wonderful location. The interior is overflowing with character, infused with antiques and high-vaulted ceilings. Come nightfall, the balcony is a dreamy place to chat about the adventures of tomorrow.
