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

The Elders
If you want to discover hidden Rome, this elegant penthouse in lively Trastevere is perfect. Head to Piazza di Santa Maria, just a five-minute stroll away, where you'll find the 12th-century Basilica di Santa Maria with its stunning Cavallini mosaics. Or, it's under a half an hour walk to the iconic Trevi Fountain. Back at your apartment, French colonial antiques meld with the owner's Parisian heritage and the Roman atmosphere. Have a coffee in the conservatory or take a seat on the roof terrace for views of the neighbourhood – it's the perfect place to have a chilled glass of Italian wine. This place is full of soul and, with all the colours and plants, it's a festival for the senses. After a busy day, get some rest on the beautiful four-poster bed and dream of the wonderful Eternal City. *The lift only works with a key.*While there is a bed in the conservatory, it's better as a place to relax than to sleep.*Child-friendly amenities s...More Details

Horse-Drawn
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
You can’t visit Rome without visiting the Vatican City – luckily this stylish abode is just a five-minute stroll to St. Peter's Square. It’s also only a ten-minute walk to the Vatican Museums, as well as Castel Sant'Angelo with its large roof terrace offering breathtaking views across the city. Right on this apartment’s street, there’s a range of restaurants, gelaterias and cafés to choose from – we think this is a wonderful location. After all that sightseeing, you’ll need somewhere super comfortable to return to. If you don’t fancy eating out for dinner, cook some pasta and enjoy at the dining table, next to the window with views across the neighbourhood. The bedrooms, with little touches like the distressed metal lights, and warm parquet floors, make for a charming retreat. So, when in Rome, if you want the perfect setting, combined with a comfortable home, look no further. *There's no lift in the building – so be prepared to climb ...More Details

The Charms of Rome
The quantity of blue on display in Neptune isn’t for the faint-hearted. In all seriousness, it’s this theme that actually elevates the place and makes it unique. It’s certainly small – the lack of a living room isn’t ideal, it’s true – but the decorations, largely inspired by the hosts travels, are all rather tasteful, and contribute to the individuality of the place. The location’s also worth mentioning – it’s not particularly central, but the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano is right there, as is the Egyptian obelisk, which is the largest in the world. *There's no living room – the only communal space is the kitchen*Air conditioning is only available in the bedrooms*If you're staying on May Day, be aware that the square is the centre of the festivities in the cities Air ConditioningBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCentral HeatingDishwasherDryerHair DryerIronKitchenLift AccessMicrowaveMultiple Sets of KeysNetflixRain ShowerTVWashing Mac...More Details

Desiderata
There’s an air of graceful elegance to this home located in Rome’s Valle Aurelia neighbourhood, directly behind the Vatican. Bright and welcoming, you’ll immediately be drawn to the main open-plan living area where large glass doors lead out onto a private balcony. Enjoy your morning espresso here while catching up on the day’s news or sip sunset aperitifs before heading out for dinner at a local trattoria. With two comfortable bedrooms – one of which has a vanity desk should you need to catch up on work – you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, care-free stay. Outside of your home, Vatican City with its famous Saint Peter's Basilica is a thirty-minute walk away, Monte Ciocci Park is a thirteen-minute stroll and thanks to the metro station that’s a four-minute walk away, you can be in Rome’s historic centre in less than thirty minutes. *This home is located on the first floor and has lift access*The home has a private entrance*...More Details

Intersection
As well as being ideally located in one of the prettiest and most central squares in Rome, this apartment is also within walking distance from pretty much every major tourist attraction. For example, you'll find yourself less than five minutes' walk from the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, nine minutes from the Trevi Fountain, and twenty-five minutes to the Colosseum. You've also got plenty of eateries nearby to refuel after a long day of exploring – favourites include seafood linguine at La Tavernetta 48 and creative bruschetta and seasonal dishes at Michelin-recommended CiPASSO – both of which are within a two-minute walk. We'd suggest you pick this home based on location alone, but luckily the classically Roman interior has its own charms. It might not be one for the cutting-edge minimalist, but with high ceilings, antique furniture and tiled floors throughout, there's plenty of character on show here. Finally, there's a lovely big kitch...More Details
