---360° view over Rome---
Enjoy a breathtaking view all over the centre of Rome from its roof garden, terraces and windows: stunning views are the main trait of this penthouse and they are so spectacular, particularly on the 8th floor roof garden, that in May 2008 they were filmed by National Geographic for a programme about Rome.
---Ideal for a large group or a family---
The apartment is ideal for a large group or a family, as the space of the entire property (260 m2) allows full ease of living for 9 adults plus 2 children. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 roof garden and 2 terraces , 1 outdoor shower, 1 living room, 1 dining room and 1 kitchen.
---Location---
The apartment is located on the 6th, 7th and 8th floors of an eight-floor building, and includes an elevator. Situated in the Celio district of Rome (one of the famous Seven Hills), the area is quiet and full of green spaces; however, it also offers lively restaurants, pubs, and supermarkets. The building is encircled by three public parks and a garden, which includes a children's playground.
---How to reach the apartment---
Located in the heart of ancient Rome, the apartment is perfect for those who want to walk in the centre or reach any other destination by public transports. The access is extremely easy both via public transportation and private car.
• Fly to Rome: convenient though luxurious airport transfers both from Ciampino and Fiumicino are available. It is more comfortable (the driver finds you, he knows where you have to go and you do not have to queue in order to find a taxi) and sometimes even cheaper than taxis.
• Drive to Rome: a large paying garage is only 50 meters away.
• Come to Rome by Train: Termini (central railway station) is just two subway stops away.
• Underground stops (“Colosseo” line B and “Vittorio Emanuele” line A) and bus stops are only 2-10 minutes walk.
--- Arrival and departure---
Arrival is generally since 3 pm and departure within 10 am. Early departures (before 8 am) can be accepted only if agreed in advance.

Why the Owner Chose Colosseo Foro Romano (Coliseum & Roman Forum)
We have been living in this district for 30 years and we love it! It's one of the 7 historical hills of Rome, just by the Colosseum and we love to introduce our guests to this ancient jewels we love so much.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment

- enjoying stunning views everywhere in the penthouse and a unique 360° view on ancient Rome from the 8th floor Roof Garden, the highest point of Celio district
- waking up in the 6th floor big double bedroom or in the 7th floor bedroom and seeing the Coliseum from the window
- having a shower oudoor (in the 7th floor outdoor shower) while overlooking the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and then lying in the sun on the sunbeds in the 8th floor Roof Garden
- eating together in the big dining room or in the 6th floor terrace, which is a wonderful dining room in the open air overlooking the sunset, also for celebrating anniversaries (restaurants with terrace in Rome are very expensive: from € 80/140 for each person)
- bringing your kids to play in the children playground just in front of the apartment
- watching the sunset from one of the terraces, while drinking a Prosecco wine bought in the supermarket near the apartment (only 20 meters far away!)

Five Star Stay

This amazing apartment, in a great Roman neighborhood, provided our large family a respit and home base, during our stay in Rome. The apartment was efficient, with gathering tables and seating in the dining area, outside terrazzo and on the rooftop. The view of the Coliseum from the rooftop was beyond compare. The metro is a five minute walk from the apartment, just across the street from the Coliseum. Restaurants and super markets were easy walks, within the neighborhood. The apartment owners were wonderful people. They left a folder of timely and useful information, including the name of a cab service that was always reliable. We had a beautiful experience and highly recommend this apartment.

Our family experienced a wonderful reunion in Rome this Christmas thanks to this amazing and very comfortable apartment. We had plenty of room for eight people. The view was great, and the location quiet and very convenient with metro stop nearby, stores and restaurants all within easy walking distance. The owners were friendly and welcoming and even put up a Christmas tree for us. Everything was meticulously clean and the kitchen was well supplied. It made for a perfect trip!

Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment. It was perfect for the 10 of us as we explored Rome just outside our door! We loved the opportunity to cook and spend time together, while enjoying the incredible outdoor space! It was easy to get to all the sights, and wonderful to get to come home to such a lovely apartment. I'm so glad that there was an elevator for all of our luggage and my mother!

Absolutely Ideal for Big Group

My friends and I were looking for a central place to stay in Rome prior to attending a wedding in Sicily. Rather than stay in a hotel, we wanted to stay together so that people could come and go as they please while making it easy to coordinate various activities. This property was absolutely ideal for our needs. It is central to all the sites (we walked everywhere!). Every day we would do our sightseeing, and when we were winding down for the day, we would make our way back to the apartment, grab some wine/bread/cheese, and sit on the rooftop garden while watching the sunset and laugh about the day's events before we made our way back out for dinner. It's so nice to have an apartment with a kitchen and basic amenities so you can grab some groceries and avoid spending a fortune on simple things like bottled water like you would in a hotel. I don't know where else in Rome we could have gotten such a spectacular 360 degree view of the city. The owners were SO nice, and went out of their way to help us above and beyond just renting the apartment for a few days. I would recommend this to any group of friends, family, etc. If I ever go back to Rome with a group of people again, I will be checking to see if this property is available.

All of my family loved the apartment. It was clean and all amenities were sufficient. The location was perfect, we couldn't have asked for anything more. The advertisement for the property reflected the apartment and we all said we would definitely come again probably in the spring to make the most of the terrace views. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you for renting us this wonderful apartment.

The apartment met our requirements superbly. With an extended family group it provided all the space and amenity that we needed for our holiday. The location is magnificent. Everything we required was within walking distance. Local shops were adequate. We felt most welcome.
