Just a four-minute walk from the Roman Forum and nine minutes from the Colosseum, it makes sense that this home, located in Monti, is set in the first neighbourhood of Rome where the city is said to have been founded. Today you’ll find winding cobblestone streets, craft shops, bustling bars and traditional restaurants lining the charming alleys and squares that end in beautiful churches and Roman ruins alike. Returning home, the stately entryway to the building feels like a grand hotel, and inside your apartment, you’ll find an authentic space bursting with style. Exposed wooden beams and Roman arches are paired with elegant furnishings and your host’s careful eye for detail. After a day on your feet, kick back on the plush purple sofa before retiring to your bedroom – which even has its own little cloister. You’ll also have a private patio, with a beautiful stone fountain and plenty of greenery for a breath of fresh air in the morning while you enjoy an espresso. Then set off and explore one of our favourite parts of Rome.

Local guide
About Monti
It's a truth universally acknowledged that in every city, there is a district just waiting to be described as expressing the spirit of the old Soho. In Rome, Monti is that place, and the connection is a fair one - although what Monti lacks in advertising agencies and mustachioed tech bros, it makes up for in creative enclaves, smoky bars and delicious places to eat. Nestled right in the heart...
