Prince of Salina

Known as one of the most picturesque neighbourhoods in Rome, Trastevere is overflowing with trendy bars, mouth-watering restaurants, and artisan shops. Vibrant, bohemian and steeped in authenticity, this is the place to be if you want to live like a local, and it's where you'll find this studio apartment. It's about a twenty-minute walk to the Pantheon, and though other landmarks like the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum are around a half-an-hour away, this excellent location is well worth it. Spend afternoons roaming the pretty-as-a-postcard alleyways and people-watching in the piazzas, then grab an alfresco aperitif in the evenings at one of the world-class trattorias. After a busy day, come home to this snug apartment and relax in style. It has plenty of details that set it apart from the crowd, from the bold wallpaper to the ceramic leopard that greets you as you enter. The wooden beams and large windows hark back to Trastevere's history, and though it may be small, it feels like a cosy home-from-home, perfect for a couple wanting a romantic getaway in the heart of Rome.

Home truths:
*This is a studio apartment, so it errs on the smaller side and there’s no separation between the living space and the bedroom
*The curtains don't quite cover the whole window so a bit of light still gets through – if you’re light sensitive, we recommend packing a sleep mask
*There's no washing machine, so if you’re here for a longer stay, you’ll need to use a laundry service or head to a laundromat
*The shower's only 190cm high – very tall guests might have to duck a bit
*This apartment is on the ground floor and the window overlooks the street – it adds to that authentic charm, but the apartment lacks privacy when the window is open
