About this property

DOMUS PICTA . GET INTO THE GROOVES OF ANCIENT ROME , right in the center !

Bright, funky, délabré stylish 3 bedrooms/ 2 bathroom apartment about a 10 minute walk from Termini station and 2 blocks from the red line metro at Piazza Vittorio, Rome’s ethnic quarter. On the fourth floor with Elevator, Wifi, AC,Washing machine, fully equipped kitchen.Linen and towels all provided.

Domus Picta is an unique funky, délabré stylish apartment .It was once destined to be an artist’s studio who painstakingly stripped the walls of decades worth of paint to reveal the original turn of the century interior. Paintings and thoughtfully hand picked furniture that enhances the flow of the apartment. On the fourth floor easily accessible with elevator. It has 3 large, bright, cool and quiet double bedrooms, two brand new bathrooms with shower, and an open plan living room with a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area that seats 8 people, living area with a comfortable sofa and arm chairs. Wifi connection and Air Conditioning is in every room. Consciously we didn’t add a TV to the apartment because we think that the apartment is so charming and the beautiful city of Rome offers too much to do that you will not miss your TV time.

Features:

-Elevator
-Air Conditioning
-WiFi
-Induction stove
-dishwasher
-electric oven
-iron board and iron
-laundry drying rack

-electric kettle

One unique feature of this apartment are the restored wall paintings that are originals from the 1800 era.
The apartment is at your disposal.
Located near Roma’s largest fruit and vegetable market and the Piazza Vittorio metro station, it’s good place for someone who wants easy access from Termini, and wants to be at the center of all major tourist attractions, easily reachable by foot, metro or other public transportations. Right behind your apartment building you can enjoy cocktails at the Rooftop Terrace Radisson Hotel. The nearest Parking is in Via Giolitti, few meters from your house. 5 minutes walk in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele 106. my favorite Bar " GATSBY," super bloody mary !

A most enjoyable stay in Roma

Photos are true reflection of this rustic Italian feel apartment. It was very quiet, comfortable & we enjoyed the space. Location provides great access to the Roma Termini and metro. The area has a more local feel, with local cafes, restaurants, supermarkets n food market easy to find n close by. We felt safe in the area and found it to be a great base. Costanza was very accessible & helpful during our stay.

A perfect stay in Rome

The property was an absolutely beautiful converted art studio which helped us get into the spirit of Rome. The location next to the train station was easy for luggage, and the sights were a quick lime ride away. Costanza was an excellent host, giving us many tips on where to go for food and gelato which all turned out to be absolutely fantastic! We would definitely book here again and highly recommend!

A great stay!

We stayed here for 4 nights before heading to another location, and it was perfect for us. We loved the kitchen area and all the rooms were very comfortable. It was great to have 2 bathrooms, though the shower in the bigger bedroom was much nicer. The elevator was broken during most of our stay so that was a bummer but out of the hosts control. We enjoyed our time here!

Authentic Italy

If you are looking for an authentic Italian experience, this is your place. It has an "old world" feel with modern amenities. It is also within walking distance to many of the places you will want to see while in Rome. Costanza was very helpful! She booked a driver to pick us up from the airport and gave us tips on where to eat, how to get around, etc. She even met us later (after our stay) to return an item we left in the apartment. We had an all around, excellent experience.

Good location to Termini!

Easy access to metro and Termini Station. Costanza very responsive to correspondence and letting us know cafe and grocer (open market was amazing!) locations as well as sights to see. A couple of suggestions to be more user friendly would be more toilet paper, and making available paper towels and napkins.

Perfect Apartment in the Esquilino

This apartment was perfect for us (2 couples) while staying in Rome. The location was excellent ... just a few minutes walk from the Vittorio Emanuele Metro station, a wonderful Farmers Market just steps away, and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The apartment itself was clean and spacious, and the building had a lift, so bringing luggage up to the 4th floor was no problem!

Costanza met us, introduced us to the apartment's features and took us for a coffee to share details about the area and Rome in general. We loved the neighborhood where the flat was located. There were restaurants, shopping, a park, coffee bar, the train/subway terminal, and large fresh food market all within short walking distance. The apartment was roomy and comfortable and just as described. Wish we had been staying longer!

Close to everything!

We found the flat very comfortable for our group of 4. I appreciated the amenities provided like spices, oil, etc for cooking. While o reserved for 3 people and we arrived with a 4th, we were charged an extra $80 for the 4th person. None of our other VRBOs did that, so not sure about that one. Very close to the colosseum and other points we planned to visit.

Lovely Apartment and Host

We chose this apartment for the very last leg of our trip back home. It was a wonderful choice as it was spacious, and comfortable for my family of six. The host was incredibly communicative and helpful. In addition to helping us get a table at a restaurant, she helped line up a taxi for the next morning to take us to the airport. Thank you for making our stay wonderful, Costanza!

About the host

Hosted by Costanza Pompa

Host profile image
My name is Costanza, friend and property manager of Maya and Giovanni, the owners. I help them to manage their property. I was born in Rome. I live in Trastevere, one of Rome’s unique neighborhoods. I speak fluent German and English. I have always been interested and curious about other cultures. I love art in all its manifestations. In my free time I enjoy the soothing beauty of nature in the Tuscan countryside. I have worked over 10 years in the vacation-rental business. There is no better place than doing this business in Rome. I love Rome not only because it is my native city but also because it has infinite mysteries to disclose. After all this years living here, I am still enthusiastically exploring Rome’s art, history, museums, food, neighborhoods etc. And I can’t wait to share all this with you.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood of the Esquilino is the highest of the seven hills of Rome. Today it has a multicultural demography. Today, many directors and actors are living in this neighborhood too. Although it's main buildings are from the end of the century it is still imbued with roman and early christian presence. As we can see in the "Trofei di Mario" ( a roman fountain), the rests of “Castellum Aquae” collection point from 8 of the 11 aqueducts of ancient Rome in piazza Vittorio, ’Arch of Gallieno" (an entrance into the Servian Walls from the Roman Republican era), "Auditorium of Mecenate", "Bath of Diocletian", and the "National Roman Museum", the basilica of "Santa Maria Maggiore", "Santa Prassede", "San Martino ai Monti", with their underground early christian chambers of the 4th century... in short the neighborhood offers so many historical destinations to visit.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is 3 minutes by foot from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele (Metro line A, tram line), 5 minutes from Termini Train Station (Terminal for the two airports, metro line A and B, the terminus for the main bus and tram lines), and 15 minutes walk from the Coliseum.

The entire ancient, historical down town is easily travelled by foot. From Piazza di Spagna you can walk to Piazza Montecitorio; from there you continue to Piazza di Pietra, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Campo dei Fiori and then you can cross over the bridge Ponte Sisto to Santa Maria di Trastevere. It is a beautiful 40 minute walk (it obviously will take longer if you stop for a delicious Italian Gelato, glass of vine or have children walking with you!)
The tickets for tram ,buses and metro are sold at newspaper stands or in the “Tabaccherie”.
One advise while taking the public transportations: keep you valets and purses and personal belongings under constant watch (never behind your body)- there is plenty of pickpocketing!
Rome can also be experienced by riding bikes or scooters that can be rented. If you decide to do so, be an attentive driver because Rome's traffic is quite challenging and unpredictable.

From the Termini Station you can take the red line to go to Piazza di Spagna and the Vatican. Since your apartment is situated at the center of down town many sites can be reached by foot.
Enjoy your journey !
