Dare your kids to give it a try! Take a dazzling 3D ride through history in the Time Elevator. A thrilling, but also learning experience, the ride provides a glimpse into Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance and 20th Century Rome.
After a long day of sightseeing, is there anything better than a decadent gelato? While you’ll find one in almost every street corner, you mustn’t miss Gelataria Della Palma, which offers a mind-boggling menu of over 150 flavours!

Perfect apartment, perfect location
The property is in a brilliant location for two Metro stations and a short walk to the Colosseum. The apartment itself is extremely well presented and nice so it feels like a real home from home. Marco, met us at the apartment when we arrived, but really went above an beyond as our flight was delayed by two hours so we didn't arrive until 1.30am, but Marco still met us there. Marco was also great at responding to queries before our stay and provided some really useful information. I'm quite fussy, but would definitely recommend and would stay again if we are ever in Rome again.

It was all perfect!!!
Prettier than in the photos. Very comfortable, complete, clean, with many details that made our days in Rome unforgettable. Very comfortable beds, kitchen with all utensils, washing machine and clothes dryer. Without a doubt I would return to this place if we return to Rome and I highly recommend it!!

Roman holiday
Best apartment we have ever been to! Quiet, very spacious, absolutely stylish, modern equipment. Location was great too. We will definitely come back again.
-
A beautiful, very comfortable apartment
Our family had a fabulous stay there. Marco and Sara were excellent hosts.
A beautiful, well appointed apartment. The beds were very comfortable, the showers were fantastic. The location was excellent, close to everything you could need and and an easy walk to main attractions.

Exceptional stay within walking distance of the Colosseum
Wow! This apartment is amazing! The photos don't even do it justice. 5 of us stayed for 4 nights and it was luxurious and wonderful. Marco and Sara were on vacation so we didn't meet them but I feel like I did because we were in communication long before we arrived and throughout our stay. Eric met us with the keys and showed us around and he was so welcoming even though he was the only person in his street not on holiday! The apartment is quiet, so spacious and tastefully decorated with fab appliances. The beds are very comfy and all rooms are air conditioned. The welcoming sweets are a nice touch and the coffee machine and coffee was much appreciated. Location - what can I say - you can see the Colosseum from outside the front door! The apartment is located between Colosseo and Manzoni metro stations, both only a 7 minute walk. Buses stop even closer so you couldn't ask for better. It felt very safe in the neighbourhood. Marco booked a restaurant nearby (Naumachia) for our first night and it was the best meal we had in Rome. He also sent us lots of suggestions for places to visit, eat etc. He accommodated our request for an early checkout as we had to catch an early train. I'm so glad I found this paradise because it was heavenly to relax here after a busy day's sightseeing. I honestly didn't want to leave and I would highly recommend.

Our family stay very relaxed and safe in here
I love the luxury and comfort furniture keep very clean and high quality very appropriate.

Absolutely loved it!
We absolutely loved the building- it was beautiful and a historical building! The home was impeccably clean (and I am a stickler for cleanliness, and it surpassed my expectations). The host even provided individual pouches of shampoo, conditioner and soap per person that were beautifully packaged. The home decor was so magnificent, and my three kids appreciated it and commented on how nice the rooms were- the flowers and vases were so gorgeous I couldn't help but take pictures of them :). The host was very accommodating and sent recommendations for restaurants and things to do. We absolutely loved our stay and would do it again.

Loved our stay!
Marco and Sara are excellent hosts and communication prior and during our stay was excellent. Huge thank you to Erik for our warm welcome when we arrived and smooth check in and check out process. Place is very clean, large spacious rooms, beautiful decor which have that definite luxury feel throughout the apartment. Air conditioning available in every room, although if you keep the window shutters closed throughout the day, when we returned to the apartment in the afternoons, rooms were cool even when the outside temperature was in its high 38degrees. Large clean bathrooms, and kitchen facilities were perfect for our stay. Very comfortable and excellent quality mattress and pillows! This was perfect after travelling 32hours and finally being able to get rested sleep! Rooms and apartment surrounding very quiet in the evenings as well as throughout the day. Cafés and small supermarket are nearby the apartment. Last but not least, short distance walk to the colosseum. To walk out the front door and see the colosseum first thing in the morning is truly amazing.

A perfect place to stay in Rome
Very spacious and ultra clean. Beds were all very comfortable (including sofa bed) Marco is a great host and made sure we were taken care of. 8 min walk to Colosseum and tons of great restaurants. Trevi fountain 20 min walk. Grocery store convenient 2 min walk. Also very quiet location. Street noise was non existent. Very nice historic building. Would definitely stay here again.
-
The best place to stay in Rome
Comfort, very spacious house with excellent location. Marco was very friendly and was attentive to us at all times, the house is super nice, it is equipped with everything we need and very close to all the places of interest, you have drinks in the fridge, shower gel, shampoo. Spectacular.
-
Amazing stay in a beautiful apartment
Well kept and very artistically decorated. Marco was a great host and this was one of the best apartments we stayed in. The location is great too, the colosseum was just a few mins away by walk.
-
Perfect Roman Apartment
This is an absolutely gorgeous apartment that is very tastefully decorated. The bedrooms were extremely large and the bathrooms as well. The high ceilings made the entire apartment feel so much bigger. The kitchen was the perfect size, and the coffee machine was just what we needed. The furnishings were amazing and very authentic. The area was very safe and just a short walk to the Coliseum. Marco was so friendly and helpful, and made us feel like old friends upon meeting him. I will stay here again when I find myself back in Rome!
-
Italian dream
We were there for the weekend from 12 to 15th of May. The apartment was exactly as beautiful as on the photos on the website. The atmosphere in it is just gorgeous - the design, the furniture, the bathrooms are just an Italian dream. We were expected by Marco even though we arrived very late. He helped us with our baggage and took time to show us everything in the apartment. The check-in was very easy, fast and very friendly! I just recommend this apartment, also because of its location - 5 minutes and you are at the Colosseo. Nearby there are a lot of restaurants, a supermarket, taxis etc. And the most appreciating thing is how Marco cares for his guests. Transfer was also arranged by Marco and Sara and it was a VIP transfer - very comfortable and very special. In the morning we got tips from him, where to have tasty breakfasts, he was also ready to book a restaurant for us. He was keeping in touch with us from the day of our booking till the very end of our journey. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family and hopefully we will come back in a couple of years. Very kind greetings from Kazakhstan and Germany!

Perfect
Magnificent apartment, with superb decoration, very clean with everything you need. Marco's welcome is excellent and very attentive.

Amazing apartment
The location was within walking distance to the Colosseum and restaurants. We felt very safe in the gated building and there was a cafe we could go next door for breakfast. The apartment itself had all we needed with top range appliances. My children enjoyed themselves and we had a wonderful stay. Thank you!
-
PERFECT!
Only a stone’s throw away from the colosseum and very easy to find. It’s a beautiful old building with grand marble entrance and a lift. The apartment itself is perfect, beautifully finished with high ceilings and everything of top quality including Smeg appliances and everything you could possibly need. The whole place feels large and luxurious, Marco is a lovely man and showed us everything we needed to know about the apartment as well as the surrounding area including local bars restaurants supermarkets etc. He arranged our private transfer to the airport and couldn’t do enough for us. If there was an option to give it 11 out 10 I would!
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
