Tardis by the Tiber
Villetta Romana
This modern studio apartment in an 18th-century building not only makes a good first impression but continues to reveal more of its charm throughout your stay. Everything is well-considered, from the sleek design to the comfortable furnishings, and from the practical layout to the enviable central location. The home’s footprint is well proportioned and the kitchen being partially separated makes the place feel particularly spacious. The cherry on top is the private balcony – it’s great in the morning with a strong coffee and even better at night with a spritz or two. You’ll find yourself less than a ten-minute walk from the unmistakable Trevi Fountain, virtually next-door neighbours with a modern art gallery and within touching distance of a tempting selection of traditional eateries and cosy bars. *Our taller guests should note the showerhead only goes up to 180cm *There's no lift in the building, so you'll have to climb sixty-six sta...More Details

Despite its position in an old, atmospheric square near Campo de’ Fiori, Falconry has been renovated recently, and most of the furniture has been made to measure, making the whole place feel very well crafted. Everything fits together, from the parquet floor to the various lamps, and even the terrace is taken care of, and not an afterthought. High up among the rooftops, it feels like a little refuge from the hectic city below. *The lift only goes up to the sixth floor, so you'll have to climb the stairs for the last stretch*Two people can sleep on a sofa bed in the living room*The bedroom is on the small side Air ConditioningBalconyBlack-Out BlindsBlenderCarbon Monoxide DetectorCentral HeatingCleaning ProductsCoffee MakerCooking EssentialsDishwasherDrying RackExtra Pillows and BlanketsFire ExtinguisherFirst Aid KitFreezerFridgeHair DryerHangersIronIroning BoardKettleKitchenKitchen UtensilsLaptop Friendly WorkspaceLibrary of BooksLift ...More Details

Love in Rome
Curia is full of contrasts – aluminium staircases and heavy wooden ceilings, antique marble window frames and pop art prints, dark furniture and white walls. It’s idiosyncratic, and all the better for it. Outside are the ruins of Largo di Torre Argentina, keeping you close to Rome’s heritage (it’s believed to be the spot where Julius Caesar was assassinated). And while the apartment’s not in absolutely perfect condition, this is very common among old Roman buildings and nothing to be alarmed about. *This home is in a central location, and some guests reported hearing street noise throughout the night – something to be aware of if you're a light sleeper*Some guests found the heating and air-conditioning to be a bit temperamental*The lift is very small – you'll struggle to get a person and a suitcase in there*There are a few small signs of age around the place, though nothing major*Both upstairs bedrooms are fairly open to the bedrooms b...More Details
Bowler is very comfortable, and has clearly been designed to tailor to large groups, whether that be friends on holiday, or people on a business trip. Each room has a TV, which makes up somewhat for the lack of any real living room. That’s the big factor with the flat – the lack of communal areas beyond the kitchen. If you’re okay with it (or would even prefer it), then there’s little else to say, as everything is kept very and it’s hard to see how the place could be improved much. *Depending on the time, the check-in might take place in two stages – the first remote, and an in-person welcome the next morning*There's no lift in the building – you'll have to climb the stairs to the second floor*Nothing in the way of basic ingredients is provided*There isn't a living room – just a kitchen with a dining table*Even though there's a sofa bed in one of the bedrooms, eight people at once in the flat would feel like a lot*There's no washing ma...More Details
Housed in a former church in Rome’s scenic Jewish Quarter, this home is full of characterful details and historic charm, as well as being just a ten-minute stroll from picturesque Piazza Navona. Enter through the building’s grand outer door and step into an ornate courtyard where you’ll find this apartment quietly tucked away. Inside, rustic traditionalism meets quirky stylings, with a good dose of classic elegance thrown in for good measure. We love the arched windows here and the old Roman column with its elegant capital along the wall. There’s a definite air of romance in the mezzanine bedroom, framed by a wrought-iron balcony, while the pops of red in the draped curtains and sofa give the whole space a sumptuous, intimate feel. When you’re ready to explore, you've got the city's best sights within easy reach. Piazza Navona and the Pantheon are a mere ten-minute stroll away, while the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum are a twenty-min...More Details
You can tell that someone who loves to travel owns this wonderful apartment – every corner features a charming curio collected from somewhere fabulous. The result is a stylish and eclectic home that’s the perfect base for a truly authentic Roman holiday. The crowds of tourists are kept at a slight distance, across the river. This apartment can be found in Prati, a neighbourhood that’s favoured by the well-heeled locals. There are bars, restaurants and shops all within a stone’s throw of the apartment building, and the Lepanto metro station is a mere eight-minute walk away so when you’re ready to see the sights, it’s as easy as can be. Start your day by tucking into pastries and coffee on the terrace. There are glorious views of the Vatican, which is just a twenty-four-minute walk away. Watch the streets below come to life while you plan how you’ll spend your stay. After visiting the Vatican and St Peter’s Basilica, perhaps you’ll stroll...More Details

Looking Backward
Outdoor space is a rarity in this historic city, but this charming home has no fewer than three terraces to choose from. Right next to the Tiber, just a fifteen-minute walk from most of the city's big attractions, you'll have incredible, 360º views – and the sunset over the Vatican is something really special. The interior is colourful and comfortable, and while it's stylish, it's easy to feel at home. It’s split over two levels at the top of a traditional building but there's a lift to take you up to your front door. All the terraces are excellent (and one is just off the kitchen so perfect for meals outdoors) but the show is well and truly stolen by the rooftop terrace. Climb the steps for one of the best views in this part of the city – it's even head and shoulders above a nearby rooftop bar. Out and about you'll find plenty of great places to eat and drink on your doorstep, and all of central Rome is easily walkable. *Although the...More Details
Footsteps from the Foro Romano complex and a five-minute stroll to the monumental Colosseum, this 17th-century apartment pairs original features with modern detail to create a captivating home in the heart of the eclectic Monti neighbourhood. Expect rustic timber beams, exposed brick walls and herringbone parquet floors. Splashes of cherry red bridge the gap between old and new worlds, and the sleek up-to-date kitchen showcases contemporary design. Slip into your locale’s romantic honeyed streets. You’re metres from family-run trattorias, trendy wine bars and tempting gelaterias. In the evenings, hang out at Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, a three-minute walk away. People-watch by the 16th-century fountain before ducking into a bohemian bar for cocktails and aperitivo. When it’s time to call it a night, head home to rest easy in your comfy-cosy bed. *If you’ll be staying with a little one, a cot and window guards can be provided upon r...More Details
Northern Wood
The understatement on display in this historic house allows some of the warm, textural elements of the design – like the exposed beam ceiling, tiled floors and concrete steps – to sing. Set within a stunning fifteenth-century building, the home is spread over three floors, accessible via a beautiful spiral staircase that eventually emerges in between the three bedrooms up on the second floor. The interior is a largely pared-back affair, with a definite nod to Scandinavian simplicity, but without veering into the impersonal. While the Tiber isn’t actually visible from the front door, but it’s only one street over, and the Castel Sant’Angelo is just a few minutes' walk on the other bank. Elsewhere, you're around five minutes from the ever-popular Piazza Navona and ten to the lively morning market in Campo de' Fiori. *Child-friendly amenities such as a cot, highchair, stairgate and dinnerware are available upon request*The master bedroom ...More Details
One Step Closer
Before we even stepped foot in this apartment we fell in love with it. Located just beside Termini station, you're connected to the entire Eternal city, while also being only a nineteen-minute walk away from the Colosseum. You really couldn't be better placed. Inside, the home has a warm, genuine feel to it with vibrant patterned wallpapers, pops of colour and dark wooden furnishings. Sleep soundly in the charming bedrooms where plenty of natural light pours through the Juliet balconies and into the rustic yet homely interior. Take to the stylish breakfast bar for a quick coffee, before exploring the iconic sights of Rome. With great links to the wider area and Italy as a whole, if you're ever looking to roam beyond the city (unlikely, we know), a trip back into the past to the ancient site of Pompeii is an excellent excursion and is just over two hours on the train. *It's quite close to the railway station, so you might be able to hea...More Details

Much like its sister apartment in the same building, Green Jay has an air of nobility that surrounds it. Antique furniture, dark wooden windows, and tiled floors all combine to encapsulate the feeling of elegance, a feeling which is common in Flaminio. This isn’t the place to stay if you want to be in the very middle of the action, but you get a sense of calm and a detachment from the tourist crowds, which is more than worth the extra journey time. *The kitchen was generally well-equipped but it was missing a few smaller appliances like a toaster or an espresso machine*Three people can sleep on sofa beds in the communal areas of the flat*The building has a porter but only during working hours Air ConditioningBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCentral HeatingChild FriendlyCoffee MakerCooking EssentialsCot / CribDishwasherDryerElectricity AdaptorsFire ExtinguisherFirst Aid KitFreezerFridgeHair DryerHangersHigh ChairIronKitchenKitchen UtensilsLap...More Details

Small but stylish, this studio flat set in an ancient convent suits a solo traveller or a couple wanting a quaint getaway. It's a tiny flat – there are no two ways about it – but host Sara has made the most of the space. The design is eye-catching and trendy, with three-dimensional mirrored splashback, funky jungle wallpaper and shimmery curtains, and the whole place is utterly spotless. Plus, Sara hasn't overlooked a single detail – the welcome gift of fruit and wine made us feel right at home, while the toiletries in the bathroom (there's everything from slippers to cotton swabs and toothbrushes) are just icing on the cake. In the evenings, take your bottle of wine up to the communal roof and watch the sunset over Rome's rooftops. Centrally located between Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum (just a fifteen-minute walk away), Monti is the perfect spot to live like a local. Cobblestone streets are lined with vintage stores, chic cafes and...More Details
History emanates from the walls of this cosy little home in Navona. The structure itself has been well preserved and looked after, with its crossbeam ceiling and wooden doors retaining their rustic charm. Recently renovated, you'll find all the usual mod-cons needed for a comfortable stay too, with a light-filled double bedroom and swanky en-suite bathroom that features a luxurious rainfall shower. While the compact kitchen is better suited for preparing light bites and breakfast, the coffee making station in the living space more than makes up for it. Through to the bedroom, you'll notice the lime green colour scheme, abstract wall art and an antique study area for those keeping one eye on work during their stay. Outside, there's a real authentic feel to the surrounding area that we really love. Hidden down a beautifully atmospheric backstreet, this home's local neighbourhood will make you feel as if you've stepped back into sixteenth ...More Details
