Red Candy

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.
