About this property

LOFT WITH SECRET GARDEN AT THE COLISEUM

A unique loft just steps from the Colosseum, with a charming secret garden.
Only 30 meters from Rome’s eternal symbol, this fascinating loft was once the home and Art Deco atelier of a painter in the 1920s. Today, the space still tells its story through authentic elements: exposed beams, original paintings, vintage artist shelves, and a hidden garden where you can relax after exploring the Eternal City.

A space that conveys warmth, harmony, and understated elegance.
The accommodation offers two loft-style bedrooms, each with a king-size bed, two comfortable sofas, a fully equipped kitchen, modern bathroom, air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a Smart TV.

An atmospheric home, perfect for those who want to experience Rome in true charm.

Thank you for your review and for rating us 8 out of 10 — we really appreciate it! We are glad to hear you enjoyed the location and found everything easily accessible. Regarding the towel hooks, you're right — the apartment currently has hooks designed for small towels. We will definitely consider adding larger towel hooks to improve convenience for future guests. Thanks again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back soon! Bellezza al Colosseo B&B and apartments

Perfect!

Steps from the Colosseum, lots of restaurants, around the corner from a grocery store with a secret garden and sleeping loft! The hosts were very helpful and arranged airport transport and luggage storage for us on our last day. Highly recommend an early morning walk across the street to the Colosseum when everything is quiet.

Spacious place right next to the colosseum

This was a great location for a family that wanted to explore Rome. Near the major buildings we wanted to see and close to bus and metro stop so it was easy to get anywhere. The loft bed is comfortable but the walls are thin. So woke up several times (light sleeper) from noises from next door. Also bc this is close to things, it is busy at night and you do hear ppl staying up later than us. We have kids so we went to bed early. Other than that it was an easy check in with the self check in and easy to find.

Prime location for colosseum

The perfect location if you want to be right by the colosseum. We were welcomed with a bottle of champagne on the dining room table. The place was nice but the advertisement showed three bedrooms, however there was one private bedroom with a pullout couch, a pullout couch in the living room and then a mattress in an open loft above the kitchen/living room. There is a private outside area attached to the one room which was a nice extra. The only complaint would be payment process. I assumed our trip was all paid for before arriving as all the vrbos that I used gave me reminders for payment. I received a message before we were to check out saying I still needed to pay the second half of rental along with a damage deposit. I checked messages/ receipt and it hadn’t given the “payment due” for second payment. I assume it’s their payment system setup that way. Not the end of the world, but prefer payment consistency when using this app. Booking over a months worth of hotels and vrbos, I prefer not to have surprise bills at checkout

Dear Corey, Thank you so much for the review. We are glad to hear that you appreciated the central location of our loft at the Colosseum, its quiet secret garden and our welcome bottle of prosecco. However, we would like to clarify a few things with you: 1. The Vrbo listing system considers all beds to be "rooms." However, it is correctly stated that the loft consists of a room with a double bed, a room with a sofa bed and an additional sofa bed in the living room, for a total of 3 beds; 2. In addition to the description, there are photos of all the rooms in the listing. So you can clearly see from the photos that there are two rooms and a living room with a sofa bed; 3. Payment with Vrbo is automatically divided into two parts. One part to be paid at the time of booking and one part to be paid at the time of check-in along with the tourist tax. This payment method is correctly described at the time of booking and, in addition, is reminded by us personally to all guests in the Vrbo chat. In fact, on July 4th, 2024, at 8:43am we sent you, along with the confirmation message, this message: “We would like to inform you that we charged your credit card the 50% of the total cost to confirm the booking and the other 50% can be paid on the day of check-in.” We therefore believe that the method of payment, as well as the composition of the loft with its rooms, are correctly stated within our listing. We hope we have been clear with this response and, with the hope of hosting you again soon, we send you our warmest regards. Anna

Bon sejour

Location très sympathique et agréable tout près du Colisée. Très bonne literie, ce qui est un bon point. Cependant il est à noter que l’annonce est erronée car il n’y a pas 3 chambres mais une chambre fermée, une mezzanine avec un canapé lit et un canapé lit dans la pièce principale, ce qui fait que la pièce principale se limite à une table et des chaises. Donc il y a un manque d’intimité

Hello and thank you very much for the review. We are happy to know that you had a pleasant stay at our loft just a stone's throw from the Colosseum and appreciated its central and strategic location. We would like to clarify the issue of the beds and point out to you that in the description of the official Vrbo listing the number of rooms is correctly stated. It does in fact say that there are three rooms, including two bedrooms, one separate and one loft room, and a living room with a sofa bed. It is also correctly stated that there is a double bed and a sofa bed in the rooms, while the second sofa bed is in the living room. This is not a classic apartment but a loft, as you can see in the Vrbo listing photos, so it's normal to have a loft room. We thank you again for staying with us and, with the hope of hosting you again soon, we send you our warmest regards. Anna

Excellent séjour pour visiter Rome

Nous avons passé quelques jours à Rome pour visiter la Ville: l'appartement est idéalement situé à quelques pas du Colisée. Procédure d'arrivée et de départ autonome parfaitement rodée. L'agence est a quelques pas de l'appartement au besoin, et Giuseppe et son équipe sont adorables, disponibles et réactifs en cas de besoin. L'appartement est bien équipé. Nous avons fait la plupart de nos visites à pied et pour celles éloignées le métro est à deux pas et permet d'aller au Vatican en 15-20 min. Parfait pour visiter Rome 👍😎.
