Roman Rhapsody

A quirky base in Rome, this home is the attic of a building, so sits amid Rome’s rooftops. This means there are a lot of stairs to climb – it’s not going to be suitable for everyone and isn’t recommended for children under the age of six. But if you can manage the stairs, you’re rewarded with a charming home-from-home. The apartment even boasts a private terrace – the perfect spot for alfresco dining – and is next to a chapel designed by Raphael in the 1500s. You’ll share your outside space with the original bell tower. Seeing more of Rome’s architecture and history is a breeze, as you’re within walking distance of all the main attractions, including Campo de’ Fiori – just a five-minute stroll.

Home truths:
*There’s no lift at this home, which is the attic of the building on the third floor. There are also stairs between the floors of the apartment, so you’ll need to be able to climb stairs to stay here.
*This home is not recommended for children under six or for those with reduced mobility.
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room. Bedroom one is set up with a double bed and two single fold-out beds, so it’s not the most private.
*Your host kindly asks you to respect the quiet hours from 10pm.
*Your host also asks you to remove outside shoes before entering the apartment.
*There’s a dedicated workspace at this home.
