Giselle Roma, Lazio

Holiday Rental Description

With enchanting views over the typically Roman neighbourhood of Trastevere, this home has a fabulous location. In the heart of Rome, strolling along its meandering medieval streets, you'll find Piazza of Santa Maria (three minutes on foot) – take a seat at one of the cafes here for a coffee or lunch. Then head over to Gianicolo Hill for incredible views of the Vatican's St Peter's Basilica, a fourteen-minute walk away. It's the same distance across the Ponte Sisto to Piazza Navona and a few minutes more to the Pantheon, while it's just over twenty-five minutes to the stunning Trevi Fountain (eighteen minutes by car).

Back at this home, whip up an Aperol spritz and then have a rest on the chaise sofa after exploring the Eternal City. Light floods into the apartment via multiple windows, allowing the many plants to thrive. If you're musical, you can tinkle the ivories on the small piano or cook up some cacio e pepe in the modern kitchen if you don't fancy eating out. We love the vistas from the living space and bedroom here. This place is perfect for a couple looking for a romantic bolthole or a business professional working in the city.
