An Emperor's View Roma, Lazio

Property Description

From the cute, wrought-iron balcony of this central Rome apartment, you’ve got a view of the Colosseum beyond the shambling old rooftops. A few minutes’ strolling takes you to the ancient walls of Rome’s most famous sight, and the streets around the apartment are filled with local trattoria, cafes, bars and supermarkets to stock up on supplies.

The balcony is furnished with a bistro set for two – perfect for a morning coffee or evening tipple as the sun sets over the rooftops of historic Rome. If you’re not exploring the gelato shops and pizzerias of your neighbourhood, perhaps cook something in the sunlight-filled kitchen. Its wood accents, pristine white walls and array of pot plants give a relaxed, boho feel. The bright blue and sunshine-yellow feature walls in the living room and bedroom add a touch of fun and traditional, tall windows in both rooms let the natural light pour in.

Home truths:

*There is air conditioning in the living room but not in the bedroom
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected
*You won't need a car in Rome – instead of driving, explore on foot or take advantage of the public transit system
