Exclusive apartment in the heart of Rome just a stones throw away from the Coliseum, Imperial Roman Forum, Mouth of Truth, Domus Aurea and all the major important historical sites.
The property is within walking distance to Piazza Navona, Fontana di Trevi, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Campo dei Fiori and across the Tiber river to enchanting Trastevere, famous for its narrow streets and cozy restaurants.
It's a neighborhood where you can walk everywhere… to restaurants, bars and clubs, great shopping and all forms of public transportation.
The apartment has been newly renovated to offer elegance, comfort and convenience to the most desirable attractions of the city center.
The location simply could not be better as the area is one of the most famous and picturesque of the historical center, surrounded by archaeological sites, artisan and antique shops, theatres, traditional bakeries, colourful markets, designer stores, boutiques, restaurants, typical Italian cafes and winebars where you can flip away your tiredness over a good glass of wine.
The property is on the first floor of a 19th century palazzo, with doorman, in a private oasis sheltered from the hustle and bustle where you can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere just in the heart of the city. The quiet found inside is unusual for this lively section of Rome.
Fully renewed, it is tastefully furnished with fine modern fittings and the same remarkable equipment. Elegantly appointed with artistic and decorative features as beautiful pictures and mirrors, exclusive tapestries, cozy sofas, precious table with chairs, modern sliding doors, lamps, large wooden walk-in wardrobe.
The apartment has a very warm atmosphere. It has an entrance that leads to a bright living-room with sofas, a dining area with open kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. The sofa is a comfortable sofa-bed (King size, excellent quality), there is also a single bed. The kitchen has all modern fittings and it is fully equipped with all necessary cooking supplies. The bedroom has a King size bed and plenty of wardrobe space. The beautiful bathroom has a big box shower.
The apartment has every comforts: air conditioned, autonomous heating, Satellite TV, FREE WIFI internet, washing machine, telephone, safety box, radio, iron/ironing board, hair dryer, Bed linen and blankets, bath towels and table linen provided.
Just a few meters from the property you'll find the famous mediaeval basilica church Santa Maria in Cosmedin (or de Schola Graeca). The church was built in the 6th century over the remains of the Templum Herculis Pompeiani in the Forum Boarium and Its bell tower is the tallest medieval belfry in Rome. In the porch of this mediaeval Church, on the south side, there is one of Rome's symbols, the so-called 'Bocca della Verita' Mouth of Truth that draws many visitors: this is a large round stone, with a grotesque face in relief with holes through the eyes and the nose, and a larger opening for the mouth.
While in Rome you may like to re-enact the scene in the film Roman Holiday and put your hand over the Bocca della Verità or Mouth of Truth which hangs in the portico of the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin.If a jealous lover wanted to test their partner’s fidelity, they would put their hand in the mouth of the stone river god - it was thought that a liar would have his hand bitten off but the faithful lover would go untouched.
And this 'test' is still a must for all tourists and the queue of visitors stretched right down the street, for to have their photo taken with their hand in the mouth of the statue.
It’s a fun thing to do though and everyone seemed to emerge with their arm intact - why not give it a try?
The apartment is right in the historic centre of Rome and from here you can walk to every important interesting point without public transport. However the apartment is very conveniently connected to any city landmark and to Airport by fast and efficient public transportation ( both buses and subway ) and you will enjoy the real Italian style everyday life.
Fantastic location for an unforgettable holiday in Rome!
The entire apartment is for your own use.

Spent four nights in rome mostly to sample the culinary delights. Vera was at the apartment to meet us with a ready smile and a well stocked kitchen. The house was comfortable and contained all the amenities we would have wished for. The location is great ..within walking distance to everything in the city and the station. Highly recommended.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Stayed here for 10 days from December 1 - 10, 2012. The apartment was very clean and conveniently located. Pretty much everything was within walking distance. Some things were a little longer to get to, but all in all still within walking distance. The driver was on time picking us up from the airport and was very courteous and drove us around the apartment showing us places to eat, etc. The best pizza place to eat is actually right out the front gate to the right. There is an awesome little coffee shop on the corner that we had coffee at every morning. Would recommend staying here.Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

We stayed here for 10 days. We are walkers and found it was easy to walk to the Vatican,Forum,Colosseum,Palatine Hill,Trevi Fountain and the upscale shopping district. Spend many hours walking along the Tiber. The open air market was the best place to buy food in the area.We truly appreciated that it was a no smoking apartment - what a relief to get off the streets after a day of breathing exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke. Mr Cristiano picked us up from the airport and returned us at the end of our stay. He also drove around the neighborhood on the first day pointing out the markets and restaurants. Such a great help!Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, families with young children.

Comfortable apartment in a quite neighborhood of Rome yet close to all touristic attractions. We spent 7 nights with 2 children (10 & 11)- maximum capacity for the size of the apartment. Cleaned, well furnished, though pictures and description provided in the advertisement are a little bit overstated and certainly not a luxury apartment as mentioned in the title(comparable to a 3-star hotel room based on quality of linen, towels, furnishing, etc). Fitting and equipment of the apartment are of good quality but nothing remarkable as stated. Shower is of normal size, and water only warm, never hot, Wifi is unstable, and you frequently get disconnected and have to reset router. There is no microwave. Overall, we had a good stay and it was always nice to come back 'home' after busy days touring Rome. Will rate it between 3.0 - 3.5 ( rented many apartments in the past through VRBO and this one is not a 5-star, and spend on average 80 nights a year in hotels/away from home and this is not a 5-star but rather a 3.0-3.5).Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with young children.
Owner response: Unfortunately you have not advised me to have this problem with hot water and wifi. If you called me or you wrote me an e mail I would have solved all the problems in 5 minutes. I always do my best to make my guests happy. ....I have not described my apartment as a 5 star and looking at the pictures you can see exactly what to expect. All my customers were always satisfied and happy with the apartment and I am happy for this.

We had an extremely comfortable 3-night stay at Varuska's apartment. It is very clean, bright and well maintained. We could tell that she has put in much effort in the furnishings and decorating her apartment with good taste. It looks new, and the space is just right for our family of 5. We could dine in comfort. Wifi works very well too. There is a security guard during the day and in the night, the main gate to the building is locked with access to residents only. In the vincinity, there are some nice pizzerias, trattorias and even Chinese restaurants for affordable dining and takeaways. Veruska was always very prompt and helpful and we feel very comfortable and reassured dealing with her throughtout. She also offered a maxivan for our arrival from Termini and departure at FCO which was reliable and convenient. Overall, we felt lucky to have chanced upon this gem as we are new to staying in vrbo apartments. It is the best of the 3 we've stayed in. Thank you, Veruska!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers.

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days in june 2011 while honeymooning in Rome. It was one of the best vacation experiences we have ever had. We loved everything about this home-away-from-home. Veruska made the arrangements for the airport pick-up, which we really appreciated specially after a very long trip and a very lengthy process going thru customs in the Fiumicino Airport (20 flights altogether). We are really glad we opted to stay in a private property rather than a hotel - we were so comfortable - far more so that we would have been in a room in a hotel. Veruska the owner was lovely and provided us with lots of information about Rome and recommendations of where to eat locally. There are plenty of good restaurants, Charming Osterias, bars, bakers shops for our bread and croissants. Only a couple of blocks away, there is a colorful square which is also a large open market and every morning can be found fine food, fresh produce, fruit, vegetables, wine, cheese and wonderful bread. The location was great and We really enjoyed our stay. Just steps from Coliseum, the Forums, Venezia square and Trastevere. Everything in the apartment was absolutely perfect, we felt right at home - it was Spotlessly clean, Thoughtfully furnished with nice art, a fully stocked kitchen, free WI-FI internet, books... Towels & linens were plentiful and clean. It was very peaceful at night. We recommend this apartment highly and can't wait until our next visit.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

We have just returned from a wonderful family holiday in Italy (2 Adults & 2 Children). Our holiday started with a "last minute" booking with Veruska for the apartment for our first few days in Rome so we were a bit nervous renting a property in a strange city. We couldn't have been more pleased! The apartment was light, quiet, decorated with excellent taste, spotlessly clean and it was also great to have free Wi-Fi internet. The bed was very comfortable and there were spacious wardrobes in the bedroom. The kitchen was modern and convenient, and the wash machine was an added bonus. It was a joy to return to our "home" each evening! The location was fabulous, close to the Colosseum, Imperial Roman Forum, the Mouth of Truth at Santa Maria in Cosmedin, subway station, bus stop, which was a helpful time saver. The photos are accurate. This apartment was lovely and I have already recommended it to friends. Perfect for couples or families with kids. We hope we can return someday! Thank you Veruska!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay in this apartment! Everything was truly perfect! From the moment we arrived at the airport until we departed and everything in between was superb - we could not have asked for a more fabulous vacation. The apartment was incredibly convenient, well-equipped and comfortable. An Excellent accommodation choice for family of 4". We were very pleased with our decision to rent this apartment in Rome. We liked our location. It was in a lovely neighborhood. It was quiet and private and easily accessible to the sites, restaurants and transportation. The information sent by the owner prior to our visit was amazing and so helpful. We had a contact to pre-arrange a car service from the airport, and a greeter to meet us upon our arrival and to orient us to the building and apartment. The apartment was comfortable for our needs and so much better than a hotel room. Great for the independent traveler with a map and a guide book. Our trip to Rome was everything we hoped it would be. It was great to be able to come back to the apartment for a rest and snack before we headed out for more adventures. We can't thank you enough for your part in making our trip so enjoyable.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

What a wonderful place to call home for our 6 days in Rome. The apartment was cosy and had all we needed (toilet paper, dish soap, other necessities). After our apartment in Florence, which offered a single saucepan as its cooking supplies, I was thrilled to find a really well-stocked kitchen with plenty of plates, pots, pans, and also staples, like olive oil and salt. The location is great and you can walk to anywhere you want. Nearly everything you want to see in Rome is within easy walking distance: the Colosseum, Pantheon, the Spanish Steps, all just minutes away.The apartment is located in a comfortable, extremely safe neighborhood populated with cafes, restaurants and shops. The owner was very helpful in any way we needed and let us store our luggage all day on Sunday. I would recommend this apartment to anyone, and will make every effort to stay there again when I return to the magical world of Rome. Thanks for a wonderful stay!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

We spent 5 days of May here and what a great place to spend time in a very nice area of Rome. Veruska was very helpful . .The apartment is very Clean, well appointed, and well equipped with WiFi internet and washing machine. Comfortable and a great location with great transportation connections, lots of shops, cafe's. restaurants, and some of the best gelato in Italy. The kitchen was well supplied and the air conditioning was a blessing . Towels & linens were plentiful and clean. We had a wonderful time exploring the most frequented areas of Rome and returning to "our own Roman home" to relax and plan our next day's adventure. Since we like to cook, selecting fresh local ingredients from the local markets provided us with a true taste of Rome. The supermarket that is close by provided us with good inexpensive wine. There are so many places to explore in Rome that it is impossible to mention all of them. Within steps of the condo is the Colosseum, the Forums, Victor Emanual monument Campidoglio (Capitoline Hill) Campo dei Fiori, Venezia square and all the major historical sites.Thank you Veruska for providing us with such a nice place to stay. We would stay here again!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

About the owner: Italy is a country full of glittering treasures and Rome is its brightest jewels. I am delighted to be able to offer a comfortable and beautiful ambiance to my guests. Every amenity and comfort is well thought out and we make sure that the apartment is clean and in excellent condition at all times. I take pride in meeting the needs of my traveling friends while helping to make their stay in Rome a memorable one. It is important to me to put the needs and comfort of my guests first and I am honored to say that this is gratefully reflected back to me through referrals and returning guests. My apartment is truly a 'home away from home'.
Why the Owner Chose Colosseo Foro Romano (Coliseum & Roman Forum):
The location simply could not be better as the area is one of the most famous and picturesque of the historical center, surrounded by archaeological sites, artisan and antique shops, theatres, traditional bakeries, colourful markets, designer stores, boutiques, restaurants, typical Italian cafes and winebars...
