The style and finish of Vintage Blu is very considered - as you enter into the home you'll find a retro interior, that we really loved. From the bistro dining chairs to the quirky dark brown kitchen, everything comes together coherently to create an air of understated 70s chic. Even down to the black and white tiled bathroom that comes with classic brass fittings. Sit down around the marble table and plan out the day's adventure or find a comfy spot on the sofa to unwind with a good book. Whatever you do here, you'll have all the peace, quiet and tranquillity you need for a relaxing stay. In a quiet lane in lovely Parti, the location isn’t particularly central, although to wander around the immediate neighbourhood will give off an authentic and local vibe that's increasingly sought-after in today's tourist-filled Rome. And yet despite being in a beautiful residential area, you're only a twenty-five-minute walk from the Vatican City. After taking in the sights of St Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, find yourself surrounded by classy cafés and charming, family-run eateries for a bite to eat and a spot of limoncello sipping in the sun.

About Vatican

It's not always clear when places become popular tourist destinations. However, with the Vatican City, we know the exact date – 67AD when the apostle St Peter was martyred at the foot of the Vatican Hill and buried nearby. Over the next 2000 years, his modest tomb would evolve into St Peter's Basilica, the centre of the Catholic Church and one of the most visited spots in Rome. The Vatican...
