When in Rome – live like a Roman! At least for a week, by staying in a self catering apartment in the city centre. Or perhaps the best of both worlds, live in the surrounding countryside, only an hour’s drive from the capital – or even less by train.
The region around Rome is known as Lazio, and it offers a wide variety of landscapes which include the southern seaside towns of Anzio and Nettuna. There are the mountains in the east, along with the volcanic hills which now form lakes such as Bracciano and Bolsena.
Also in the south, is the infamous Cassino and its abbey ruins which were laid waste during the war. Then, on the coast, is Terricine, a lovely seaside town from where there are ferries to the unknown (outside Italy) Pontine Islands, two of which are habitable, Ponza and Ventotenne.
The Districts of Rome
Vicolo della Penitenza Ref.(e) Trastevere - Beds: 2 - 4
The apartment is situated in the heart of Trastevere, one of the most ancient and characteristic zones of Rome. Trastevere was, above all, a popular district inhabitated by artisans and small traders attracted by the proximity of the docks on thesouth of Tiber Island.

Via della Panetteria - Studio Ref.(aj) Centro Storico - Beds: 2 - 4
The apartment is situated on the south of Piazza di Spagna, a few steps from one of Rome’s more surprising sights, easy to stumble upon by accident – the Fontana di Trevi, a huge, very Baroque gush of water over statues and rocks built onto the backside of a Renaissance palace; it’s fed by the same source that surfaces at the Barcaccia fountain in Piazza di Spagna.
The studio apartment (about 45 msq) is on the ground floor of an 18th century apartment building.
Vicolo delle Vacche Ref.(ae) Centro Storico - Beds: 2 - 4
The apartment is situated in the Navona zone. In the Antiquity this district, bordered by Corso Vittorio Emanuele II (opened in the late 19th century), Corso del Rinascimento (1936-39) and Via Zanardelli (1906), was part of Campus Martius.
A very nice apartment with a lovely terrace just a few steps from Piazza Navona. It hosts a nice entrance with a double sofa bed, a double bedroom, a bathroom with a shower-stall, a living room and a fully equipped kitchen (complete with gas-stove, oven, fridge, pots, cutlery). Extra bed possible.
Via Paisiello Ref.(h) Villa Borghese - Beds: 2 - 5
Immediately above Piazza del Popolo, the hill known as the Pincio marks the edge of the city's core and the beginning of a collection of parks and gardens that forms Rome's largest central open space - the Villa Borghese, made up of the grounds of the 17th century pleasure palace of Scipione Borghese, which were bought by the city at the turn of the century. It's a vast area, and its woods, lake and grass crisscrossed by roads are about as near as you can get to peace in the city centre without making too much effort.
A very prestigious property located in one of the most exclusive zone of Rome, just a few steps from Villa Borghese and Via Veneto. It is located on the first floor of an elegant palace with a lift.
