About this property

The Colosseum garden

This charming and cosy apartment is located in the most exclusive Rome historical centre, in a perfect location to visit Rome major touristic sites: the Coliseum, Nerone's Domus Aurea, the Basilica of S. Clemente, the Foro romano.

It is a comfortable 1 floor flat for 4 to 6 people, there is a lovely living room with a double sofa bed, two charming double bedrooms,with 2 single beds each (both can become double)one in the basement, the other one near the livingroom, a very modern bathroom with a comfortable shower and bathtub, a fully equipped kitchen with a table good for 6-8 persons, from there you can go in a fresh and sunny terrace-garden where you can relax in the evening after having walked all day long, or sun bath at lunch time if you decide to go back home for a siesta.....
Air conditioned but frankly speaking there is not much need of it since the rooms of the old roman palaces are fresh in summer and worm in winter, the ceiling is made of original terracotta 'voltine' recently restored and the floor is also in terracotta. It was completely renovated in Feb. 2012. wifi internet 24h free

Restaurants: Luzi and le Naumachie in Via Celimontana, Quattro e quattr'otto and the pizzeria I rioni in Via dei Santi quattro, La taverna dei Quaranta in Via Claudia. All walking distance!
Please remember that on the day of your arrival you will have to pay the city tax: 3.50 euro per day per person with more than 10 years old.

Great apartment

Great location with lots of restaurants close by for dinner options at night. We spent a week here as a launching point for touring Rome and the location worked out really well. Apartment was nice, had everything we needed. AC worked really well, we have 2 kids and 1 stayed down in the downstairs bedroom and the other in the pull out couch. The TV was alittle temperamental but we weren't there to watch tv. There is a grocery store about a block and a half down that we were able to get basics for the week. Overall, great for the price and location. Great dealing with the owner, answered all of our questions.

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment in Rome. Location was outstanding! Walking distance to the Colosseum and other sites. Easy access to metro and bus stops to get to other attractions. Plenty of delicious restaurants just meters away. Apartment was comfortable, clean and provided all basic amenities. We enjoyed the patio in the morning while drinking coffee. Alessandra was a great host, answered questions and communicated well.Only note I would make is that the second bedroom with twin beds is down a steep set of stairs, which was fine for us, but may be an issue for people with mobility issues. There is a pull out couch in the den.Thank you Alessandra!

Best place in Rome

Perfect Location for Family Adventure in Rome! This apartment was an excellent choice for our family of five, including three active boys (10, 12, and 14). The location is absolutely unbeatable - just 200 meters from the Colosseum! Being in the heart of historic Rome meant we were surrounded by authentic restaurants and could easily walk to major attractions. The property management was outstanding. Alex was incredibly responsive via WhatsApp, ensuring smooth communication throughout our stay. Special mention to Diego, the cleaning staff member, who was wonderful and helped make our stay comfortable. The apartment comfortably accommodated our family, though on our last day we ventured to Euroma2 mall - which wasn't as exciting as the historic center since it felt too Americanized. This only confirmed that we made the right choice staying in central Rome! If you're looking for an authentic Rome experience with easy access to major sites, this is the place to stay. Perfect for families wanting to immerse themselves in the real experience

Empfehlenswerte wohnung

Eine süße kleine Wohnung nahe dem Kolosseum. Es war alles da, was man für paar Tage Urlaub braucht, so wie in Anzeige beschrieben. Obwohl zentral gelegen, war es schön ruhig, vor allem auf der Terrasse. Problemlose Schlüsselübergabe, da vor Ort deponiert; dh. selbst wenn man sehr spät anreist kein Problem. Das einzige, womit ich nicht gerechnet habe, waren die SEHR dicken Mauern, die es in der Wohnung sehr kühl machten (Wir waren im Oktober dort). Kommunikation mit Vermieterin 1a

The property was lovely and the location is excellent. Alex was really helpful, greeted us when we arrived and gave us some recommendations of places to visit and eat. She also helped with arranging a taxi back to the airport which was really kind. There were plenty of nice restaurants nearby and a shop just a few minutes walk away. The apartment has everything you need to enjoy your stay. It could be quite noisy at night sometimes as you could hear the noise from the other apartments around you as the walls were very thin, but this was a minor issue.

Super location, great host!

We really enjoyed our stay at the colosseum garden! The location is impeccable - walk out the front door, look left and there's the coliseum! Walk to the right and at the end of the block is San Clemente. Across the street are great restaurants, as well. I lived in Italy for 2 years and speak Italian, and this place was a great place to stay! The hostess, Alessandra, was also great. She was communicative prior to our arrival and even one night while there when I thought I was locked out. She was a pleasure to work with!

Perfect Location and Great for Kids

Wonderful apartment on the 1st floor so no need to lug heavy luggage up and down stairs. Also the kids beds were set up in a lower level so they could be loud and not disturb neighbors which made it stress free for all of us! The location is perfect with the Colosseum literally up the street and lots of good restaurants nearby. The one surprise you might want to ask about is the extra fees were additional persons. We were a family of 4 and were surprised there were charges for 2 additional people per night. We haven't experienced that anywhere else in Rome or in Italy our last several rentals so we were surprised but the place is wonderful and we'd highly recommend it.

Perfect Place to Begin

We are so grateful and happy with our stay at the Colosseum Garden. It was the perfect place to start our family's Italy adventure. Our host arranged airport transport and greeted us at the apartment upon arrival, even making us a cup of coffee and making wonderful suggestions for places to eat and things to see. The apartment turned out to be in what I look back as my favorite part of Rome, fa little off the beaten path so quieter, and filled with delicious cafes and a nearby grocery, as well as the most incredible Basilica of St Clement. The beds were comfortable, wifi worked great and the apartment was filled with such old incredible character. If I ever am so lucky as to go back to Rome, I would definitely stay here again!! Grazie!!!

Great place to stay

We were in a neighborhood convenient to buses to get around Rome, and with good restaurants, a small supermarket a few blocks away, and a fruit stand nearby. It's near the Coliseum, which is a very popular place for tourists, but our neighborhood was quiet and relaxed. It was near many sites that we wanted to see, so we did a lot of walking, which is our favorite way to see a city. The apartment was spacious and comfortable with a nice kitchen and a lovely garden just outside. The beds were comfortable, and everything seemed very clean. It was really nice having a tub to soothe ourselves after all our walking everyday. The weather got surprisingly warm while we were there in early April, but the house stayed comfortable even in the heat outside. There was also efficient heating and cooling if we needed it. It was quiet and comfortable, and we're glad we chose it, would do it again the next time we visit Rome. Maria Alesandra was very nice and helpful. I realized a bit too late that we should have set up What's App before we arrived to make communication quick and easy, but it all worked out well.

I started this vacation apartment rental business few years ago just for fun. Now, ten years later, I manage several properties, the majority of which are nearby the heart of Rome. My flats for rent are, with no exception, in pristine conditions. I visit all of them on a regular basis, to ensure my guests will receive the highest level of hospitality and the attention to every single detail. I am proud to say that I always strive to personally answer to all the emails I receive from future and past customers and take every question or request very seriously. I look forward to seeing you here in Rome, the Eternal City.
