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
In Arcadia
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

The small touches really help to elevate Alchemy and give it a sense of character. It’s not the largest space, but the design manages to make the most of what’s available, and there are a few nice features like the Art Deco mirrors. The façade is on the Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, which is Rome’s largest square, so it’s very well-placed for the station. The only thing to mention is that the surrounding area doesn’t have a lot of tourists yet, and can sometimes feel a little empty. *The living room is quite small*Tourists aren't very common in the area - so you might feel a bit detached from the action*Guests 3 and 4 would both be on sofa beds Air ConditioningBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCarbon Monoxide DetectorCentral HeatingChild FriendlyCoffee MakerCooking EssentialsDishwasherElectricity AdaptorsExtra Pillows and BlanketsFire ExtinguisherFirst Aid KitFree Parking On StreetFridgeHair DryerHangersIronKitchenKitchen UtensilsLift AccessMi...More Details
The Roman Nights
Yantra is so close to the Vatican that we recommend you carry your passport with you whenever you go out – you never know when you'll be tempted back to Musei Vaticani for some exquisite art or to the Sistine Chapel for another look around Michelangelo's frescoed masterpiece. A stroll through the immediate neighbourhood of Prati will bring you back to the present day in stylish fashion with its hidden wine bars, upscale boutiques and trendy art nouveau decorated streets. Upon your return, you'll find a cosy interior with antique objects and a sense of yesteryear charm. While the rustic adornments add interest, we love the quirky wallpaper prints in each bedroom as much as we do the Roman simplicity of this cosy home. There are all the usual mod cons needed for a comfortable stay too, so if you're looking for an authentic experience in an enviable location, then this stripped-back pad is a great option. *At capacity, two people will be ...More Details

Pan's Place
Natural light fills pretty much every corner of this apartment – a real feat, considering it's tucked down a Trastevere alleyway. Inspired by Joch's Dutch roots, expect to find white-washed wood floors, crisp cream walls and cleanly-designed furniture inside. You'll feel an immediate sense of calm and serenity as you step through the front door, but there's plenty of character, too – think leafy plants, colourful cushions, shelves lined with art books and Joch's photos hanging in the bedroom. After a long day, we loved resting our feet on the blue chaise lounge with a glass of wine (Joch leaves a bottle for you to enjoy on arrival), listening to podcasts on the built-in wireless speakers and catching up on our favourite shows on Netflix and Apple TV. It's a true home from home, right in the heart of the city.And most of all, we loved the location. Trastevere is one of the most charming neighbourhoods in Rome, where excellent restaurants...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.
