Walk Like a Tiger Roma, Lazio

Holiday Rental Description

The seven-minute walk to the Colosseum from this bijou apartment is lined with centuries-old churches and family-run pizzerias. Surrounded by ancient buildings and architecture, there’s no doubt you’re in the old centre here. Just beyond the Colosseum, you’ll find the sprawling ruins of the Roman Forum a ten-minute walk away.

Within the apartment, you’ve got a calming haven of traditional furnishings and gold trim. The front door opens straight into the living room, where there’s a little collection of books for a holiday read. The cute, provincial-tiled kitchen is tucked away in one corner and there’s room to dine in here too. It’s the bedrooms that really grabbed us here though, with their hand-painted pastel murals of the Italian countryside above both beds. The little sit-outery with its bistro set that catches the sun in the morning isn’t a bad spot either.

Home truths:
*Your host can provide a high chair for infants, just ask
*In a lively neighbourhood in the centre of Rome, you may hear some chatter from the street
*There is no parking with this home but you're in the heart of Rome where traffic is restricted so having a car is more of a hindrance anyway
*If you're checking in after 8.30pm there will be an additional charge
