Wide Awake Rome, Lazio

Holiday Rental Description

Showcasing traditional Roman character, in contrast with contemporary design and furnishings – this home is packed with both personality and practicality. Set in a historic building of the '800s, the apartment's restored windows and doors alongside an exposed brick wall set the scene for a charming stay in Rome. Besides the original features, we'd describe the interiors as urban-chic, with most of the furniture and finishings made from eco-friendly, locally sourced materials. Think precious natural stone, quality wooden flooring and authentic tiles. We particularly love the luxurious curtains and rugs that add warmth and create a cosy ambience, while vintage chandeliers, lamps and other accessories offer bags of charm. With stunning park views from every room, start the day with nature as the daily songbird will be your wake up call. Nestled just a four-minute stroll away from the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, this peaceful spot provides an idyllic base from which to discover a wealth of historic landmarks, museums, shops and restaurants – especially since Termini Station is only a ten-minute walk away.





Home truths:
*There's no oven in the kitchen, which give you all the more excuse to sample some of the local cuisine at one of the many restaurants of Rome
*The front of the building has quite a lot of graffiti on it
*Rather than a permanent dining table, there's a folding one that you have to put up each time
*The street outside can be a bit noisy during the daytime
*Guests 3 and 4 will be on a sofa bed in the living room
