Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Selva definitely has the feel of a holiday flat, rather than someone’s full-time home, but that shouldn’t necessarily count against it. It also has a trump card over most other places in the centre of the city – the feeling of peace. (Though this is, of course, relative – in these parts of the city there are always tourists.) What really elevates the stay, though, is the level of service you get from Richard. He and his team can help you plan things to do during your trip – very useful given the overwhelming number of things to do and see in Rome.

Home truths
When we visited, the sliding door to the lift was a bit sticky – don't be alarmed if it needs a bit of welly
There's no TV in the living room, just in each bedroom
The kitchen felt a bit disorganised in general
While there is a double sofa bed in the living room and in the main bedroom, eight people at once feels like too many for the flat

Local guide
About Spagna
Spagna is, perhaps unsurprisingly, focussed around the eponymous Piazza di Spagna. Along with the Trevi fountain, it’s one of the most visited sights in the entire city. Things weren’t always so auspicious – in the 16th century, the area was Rome’s red light district, but today it’s better known for the vine-covered romance of Via Margutta, home to Gregory Peck's impoverished journalist in Roman Holiday. This is not the place...

Host
This home is managed by Heather
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Richard and his team run a really impressive operation.
