Noon Herald

Perched along a quiet, ancient street in the atmospheric Navona district, and with all of the city’s must-see sights reachable on foot, the location of this immaculately presented apartment is hard to beat. Get off to a flying start just around the corner at Piazza Navona (three minutes on foot) –? one of the city’s most famous squares and 'the spot' for an evening aperitivo. And when thoughts turn to food, you’re spoilt for choice here –? with bustling coffee bars, authentic trattorias, and high-end restaurants all just a short jaunt from your door. Back at home, this apartment makes quite a first impression with its grand, period exterior and a spiraling internal staircase leading to your door. The décor pairs contemporary furnishings alongside period features, including exposed original brickwork and timber-clad ceilings of high and mighty proportions. And despite its prime central location, our guests love how quiet this home feels ...More Details

Dusk Herald

Uniting Rome past and present, this bright apartment offers modern comfort and style in the heart of the old-world Trastevere neighbourhood. Inside, it’s all high ceilings, parquet floors, big windows and vibrant feature walls. A cosy balcony sits among the treetops – it’s the perfect spot for a cappuccino after breakfast. Cook up Roman classics in the kitchen and dine together in the light-filled living space. Or, leave it to the professionals and hole up in a traditional trattoria. Explore the labyrinthine cobbled lanes, where spirited bars are cloaked by tumbling ivy and laidback cafes draw a bohemian crowd. Piazza di Santa Maria, a five-minute walk from your place, buzzes well into the evening. People-watch with an aperitivo or grab a gelato to go and stroll along the River Tiber. On the opposite side of the water, no more than a fifteen-minute stroll away, you’ll find the Galleria Spada, Palazzo Farnese and the Campo de' Fiori. *I...More Details

Song of Summer

Aperitivo might have a small footprint, but it’s unusual in that it’s a real house, spread over three floors, from the ground to the (magical) roof terrace. It’s been put together with a lot of care – this much is evident – and a lot of the furniture has been cleverly made from repurposed materials, such as the chest of drawers that used to be an old trunk. Finding this sort of place in the middle of Monti isn’t easy, and we’re very happy to have come across Aperitivo. *Rosella, the host, would prefer that any stay were a maximum of ten days*One of the bedrooms has quite a low ceiling – you're unlikely to bang your head but don't jump around*After four consecutive showers, the hot water needs a bit of time to replenish itself*Both showers are only 190cm high*Two people will be on a sofa bed in the living room*The second bedroom has limited storage space*Expect to see some signs of general wear and tear here*At full occupancy, there isn...More Details

This eccentric home is a little gem on the edge of Regola and overlooking the Campo de' Fiori market. It occupies the top floor of a historic fifteenth-century building that once belonged to Vannozza dei Cattanei, courtesan and lover of Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, whose family crest still adorns the outside. There's no getting away from the fact that the living room is small, but there is just about space for an extra person on the bed. Really, though, this flat is all about the bedroom. The wallpaper is the first thing you notice, but pretty much every detail has been carefully thought through, and they all come together wonderfully. The host, Paola, lives on the same floor of the building, so she's always close by should you need anything during your stay. *The surrounding area is pretty busy both day and night and there might be some noise coming in from the street*One guest can sleep on the sofa bed in the living room*The shower isn'...More Details

Two Days of Peace

Positioned bang in the heart of the historic Trastevere district of Rome, there's no better location than this elegant escape – especially if it's a picturesque and authentically Italian experience that you're looking for. Along the cobbled streets, endless eateries, bars and boutiques welcome both locals and tourists with open arms. You'll see people sipping Aperol spritz in the summertime, and red wine come winter, but out on the terraces whatever the weather. Dubbed as the historic centre of Rome, this humble home boasts an idyllic location, just minutes from the city's most notable museums and monuments. Stroll across the River Tibet for twenty-five minutes and you'll wind up at the Roman Forum where you'll spend hours exploring and unearthing its history. From there continue on to the Colosseum, before heading back home for some well-deserved downtime. Enjoy panoramic views over the neighbouring rooftops as you take the elevator up...More Details

Paquino is perfectly comfortable, and while it lacks a bit of flair in the design department, it’s pleasant to look at. None of this really matters though, because the big thing going for it is the position, right in the heart of Monti. There are loads of excellent restaurants around (although the kitchen is actually pretty good, easily enough for a decent meal) and you really are in the cobbled streets among the ancient ruins that define the city. *You'll have to climb the stairs to the first floor – the building doesn't have . a lift.*There's no washing machine in this home – it's just outside this home.*We found a few stains on the walls, particularly in the bathroom.*This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance.

Sandalwood - Bergamot

The Flaminio quartiere sits in a bend of the River Tiber and lays claim to this classic Roman apartment. The interiors are 1930s inspired with vintage furnishings, rich dark wood accents and original terrazzo floors. After an industrious day exploring the Eternal City, we loved disappearing into what can only be described as a king-sized sofa, designed by Philippe Starck. Sip a cappuccino by the window overlooking the Monte Mario Observatory or take a seat at the dining table and enjoy a traditional cornetto. While you’re a fifteen-minute car ride to the centre of Rome, there’s plenty to do in your locale. In the summer, catch an outdoor movie at the Cinema Titian Roma, ten-minutes walk to the north, with the striking MAXXI contemporary art and architecture museum right next door. The manicured lawns of Villa Borghese are located twenty minutes south – perfect for picnics and afternoon strolls. Closer to home, you’ll find traditional wi...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

Instead of the very heart of Trastevere, Sky Queen is a little bit to the north. This is actually a fantastic location – you can avoid the hordes of revellers, and the Vatican is easy to reach, while the river is just at the end of the road. A quieter option in a lovely location, this home is perfect if you're looking for an authentic stay – with all the big attractions within a half-hour walk. The double-height ceiling and the large windows make this place bright and breezy, which is surprisingly rare for this neighbourhood as the narrow streets and old buildings often conspire to keep sunlight away. There's a sense of history, with beamed ceilings, and a modern twist thanks to the mezzanine bedroom floor and the floating stairs. A comfy sofa takes the prime position in the open-plan living space, with a handy desk area and a contemporary kitchen tucked away under the mezzanine. *The bed is on a mezzanine level that's open to the li...More Details

On the Mount

Borromini's Rainbow

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

Set in the heart of Rome's lively Prati district, this stylish apartment is a real crowd-pleaser. For those larger groups of friends or extended families looking to explore the Eternal City, you'll have four bright and colourful bedrooms to relax in, knowing the cultural attractions and iconic sights are right outside. Despite the lack of seating in the living-come-dining room, each bedroom offers a unique space to unwind. Styled in a chic 50s theme with vibrant colours, bold wallpaper prints and mid-century furnishings, the rooms also come with plenty of space. Each one has its own look, filled with vintage paraphernalia, from records to typewriters (they also each have a TV – the flat isn’t entirely faithful to the 50s). The bathrooms are well-designed and metro tiled, while the kitchen’s equipped for home meals – but you’re in one of the restaurant hotspots (as if anywhere in Rome isn’t a restaurant hotspot), and there are some great...More Details
