Proof that good things do, in fact, come in small packages, this cosy apartment boasts a sought-after location in Rome's historic centre. Here, you're in the heart of the action and just steps from the banks of the Tiber River. Surrounded by restaurants and bars and within walking distance of the city's main sights - including Castel Sant'Angelo, Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain, this home's location beckons you to explore the city in the best way possible, on foot. Inside, it's a timeless canvas of pearly white walls and marble floors. The open-plan living space provides everything needed for a comfortable stay, including a compact kitchen, dining area and lounge. Large double doors usher sunlight to flood the space and when open, reveal the private balcony. Nestled amidst the terracotta-tiled Roman rooftops, this is the perfect spot for relaxing in the sun. Spend mornings perched here with a cup of coffee, admiring your breathtaking surroundings as the city awakens from its slumber.
