Speranza

Located in Rome’s eclectic Monti neighbourhood – known for its family-run trattorias, hip wine bars and funky vintage boutiques – this comfortable apartment puts you in an ideal spot to experience them all, as well as the city’s most iconic historic sights.

Sporting a pared-back decor, the open-plan living area has been given characterful touches with its pops of red in the furnishings and the decorative art on the walls. Make yourself at home on the scarlet sofa with a glass of Italian wine or gather around the dining table for a celebratory soirée when you’re not out sampling the local food scene.

At the end of the night, descend the winding staircase to find the black and white bedroom whose comfy bed beckons a restful night’s sleep, and whose en-suite invites relaxing wake-ups with its rainfall shower.

Outside of your home, you’ve got ample opportunities to soak up the Eternal City’s rich history – the Palazzo delle Esposizioni is a two-minute walk, the Colosseum and the Roman Forum are a thirteen-minute stroll, while the Pantheon is a twenty minutes away on foot. The Basilica Papale di Santa Maria Maggiore is also just a ten-minute walk away and the famous Spanish Steps are fifteen minutes on foot from your door.
