Apartments

[revised April 2026] Apartments are a great solution for families with kids, parties of several people and – in general – when you spend more than a couple of days in town and you really want to experience the local life. This way you can even save a bit (especially if you waive a very central location) or bargain the best value for your money renting a flat (we all live in flats in Rome, forget that wonderful private villa you booked once in Tuscany!) in a historical building overlooking a charming narrow street of the Renaissance district.

There are many good companies specialising in the short-let business, we just recommend the “locally based”, as they have the chance to help you out in case of need and they test the apartments on a regular basis. But we also have some friends renting their own properties without intermediation of a company. This option gives you less chances of finding the flat available on the chosen date, but better deals if you are lucky. Here they are:

• Rome Trastevere Homes: a company managing more than 20 apartments, but with a personal touch. They are all located in the area between Trastevere and Piazza Navona (plus a touch of “Testaccio”) and cater from 1 to 8 people (but also a solution of 3 apartments in the same building for larger parties).
• In Rome in love in bike: Marzia and Tony started this adventure with passion in the dramatic year of Covid-19 and never lost their enthusiasm. They welcome you in a bright apartment in the modern side of Trastevere, well connected to the centre by train and tram (n°8), but they will pass on you their love for the two wheels (and we totally agree!). The apartment has just been renovated, is quiet and large. Baby and pet friendly.
• Welcome to R-home: a series of nice apartments and the attentive and kind hospitality of our friend Chiara.
• Cavour Street 166 Luxury House: a newly renovated apartment on the first floor of a period building, walking distance from the Colosseum, in the characteristic Monti district. It can accommodate 6 to 8 people with 3  bedrooms, a living room, fully equipped kitchen and large bathroom. Air conditioning and all the comfort you expect to enjoy your holiday are provided, but especially the help of 2 great hosts, Pier and Andrea.
• Estrosa abitazione d’artista: walking distance from the Colosseum, bright and cozy. The highlight are the spacious terrace, a “summer living room”  and the efficiency of the hosts Andrea and Pierpaolo.
• Villari Studio: walking distance from the Colosseum, this bright one-bedroom apartment enjoys a pleasant terrace overlooking the roofs of Rome. Andrea and Pierpaolo are the welcoming hosts of this sparkling clean studio
• Alberico II street Vaticano: an intimate apartment up to 4 people, walking distance from St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums. On two floors.
• Tasso street: a large apartment catering up 9 people with 2 shared bathrooms and a small but fully equipped kitchen+ separate dining room. You can reach the Colosseum in 10′ walking and you are just next to the basilica of St. John, the Museum of Liberation and metro A “Manzoni” station.
• La Petite Sissi: in  Vatican area and near a metro A line stop (Cipro), this 40 square meter apartment is perfect for a couple (it’s possible to add a cot) and managed by our friends Tony and Marzia of “In Rome in love in bike”.
• Fall in love with Roma Vaticano: Marzia and Tony did it again and offer another apartment near the Vatican city for larger parties, here you can accommodate up to 7 people in a clean, friendly and fully furnished house.
• Domus Giuliana: located on  elegant Via Giulia you have an historical apartment at your disposal with 3 rooms, a nice terrace to dine out, period furniture and details like a XVIII century fireplace!
