About this property

At the Coliseum, ExtraLarge Vacation Home Away from Home, in the centre of Rome

Not just a "plus", for us your health and safety are a "must".
We certify that on check out the sanitization of each room, surfaces and machinary is carried out with a sanifitizing product based on hydrogen peroxide (biocidal activity).
All the rooms have recently been equipped with a brand new, efficient and high-performing Daikin air conditioning system. The whole property, among other things, has been recently totally renewed! New floor, best comfort and brand new bathrooms.
Established in 2009 and located in the heart of Rome, just an easy five-minute walk from the magnificent surroundings of the Coliseum, you will find our large and newly developed property. The property, consists of two portions of the same apartment with two independent entrances but also communicating through an internal door (according with the privacy needed you can chose if keep the door locked). Watch the video between the pictures! The property is on the ground floor of an antique and distinguished palace which can only be described as quiet and peaceful – with the benefit of a doorman at your service!
Some years ago, I had conceived of this idea to be able to offer two communicating apartments adjacent and united in the most splendid historical district of Rome just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Coliseum and Roman Forum. I am so pleased to be able to say that now we can offer it you! This large and spacious vacation home has been built to make everyone feel at home and yet still have the sense of being in a different city buzzing with culture and history.
However, what makes this property unique isn’t just its size or location, but also its accessibility. Since the property is located on the ground floor it is great for the elderly or physically challenged. More importantly it is wheelchair accessible, which is very rare in Rome.
The two real-estate portions, while having separate entrances, are located next to one another being only divided by a wall and connected by an internal door! Although, they both share access to the same Roman courtyard which has an antique and traditional look. In total the property is about 180 meters (2000 square feet) in size and is equipped with a modern kitchen, high quality cookware, dining table (it is situated in the bigger portion, is extendable seating twelve), refrigerator with freezer, microwave, oven, high-quality steel cutlery, wine glasses, dishwasher, and even a washing machine.
Available for all of our guests a total of five bedrooms, two of which are accessible to those who are disabled, and one single bedroom(or according to your needs four double bedrooms and one triple), all equipped with lcd Tv, led lighting system, timed air extractors, air conditioning, high efficiency heating system with radiators and clean linen sheets and top-level comfortable and hypoallergenic mattresses for a good night’s sleep. At your disposal on your beds also hypoallergenic duvets of excellent italian quality.
Four bathrooms(one of which is large, 100% wheelchair accessible equipped with large flat shower, showerchair, grabrails) complete with toilets, sinks, four showers and environmentally-friendly gas boiler for hot water production. Also two modern sofa-beds are there and also available in the apartment a baby cot. All bedrooms and living rooms possess professional air conditioning system and timed air extractors, making it comfortable for all. Hygiene and cleanliness have always been of big importance to me and so I personally make sure that every room is immaculate
For your use would also be one living room with modern furniture designed in Italy. The room is equipped with an LCD TV, and even a well-stocked international library. You’ll also find LED lighting, timed air extractors, air-conditioning, heating system with radiators and most importantly WiFi.
As mentioned before there is a doorman located at the entrance of the property throughout the day and night who is able to provide assistance to guests as needed, accommodate daily reception, as well as ensuring security for the building. We pride ourselves in the peace of mind that this affords our guests – especially with the added benefit of being in such a historic district!
We invite families, couples, or groups to stay with us because between the two united portions we can accommodate up to 12 people. This unique location promises to make your stay both enjoyable and memorable. You won’t have to worry about transportation between two different metro (subway) stops, as well as bus stops, which are vary in distance from being right outside the building or a short walk through the neighborhood.
THE ENTIRE PROPERTY IS OFFICIALLY AUTHORIZED AND LICENSED BY THE MUNCIPALITY OF ROME AND PROVIDED WITH INSURANCE, ALL THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND HYGIENE STANDARDS
We really do hope that you will choose to stay at our property when you make your visit to the Eternal City. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Enjoy your stay with us, the staff of "Comfy at the Coliseum", Your Vacation Home away from Home.
Let's make some clarity.
If what you want is a stay in a comfortable, authentic and genuine apartment in the heart of Rome, then you are booking the right place. But remember, we are not a hotel or a B&B and we cannot provide ancillary services other than those permitted by the municipal regulation! So, if your expectations are to stay in a luxury location with assistance, check in unplanned in advance, services on request and hotel treatment, we would be so sorry to disappoint you that we recommend the grand hotel on the corner! :-)
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The hosts and the contact persons were quick with responses and very helpful with getting transportation. We had vans waiting for us at the airport upon our arrival and when we reached the property, an agent was there to explain the house. They also allowed us in about 1 hour earlier which really helped! Although the layout of the house was a little awkward, as there are 3 rooms that connect together that you have to go through to get to the main living area. But we are a close knit family and it didn't bother us. It was clean enough, I don't live there full time and the way it was was fine. I've been in houses far worse. I would stay here again. It was so close to The Colosseum. And we started with a walking tour. It's flat enough that we were able to walk to the Vatican with a senior citizen and child with no problems. The locking of the doors to the house is the only thing I didn't like, because you had to use the key to unlock the doors. So if there is a fire or an emergency, you would have to get the key to escape. There are few windows as well and the windows are all barred. So we just kept the key in the lock just in case. And then there were 3 different keys that you need to use to get in and out. 1. The building door key. There is also a key pad that you can use. 2. The fron door gate key. I never locked this at night, too dangerous incase of emergency. 3. The front door key. Kept this in the lock at night.

A few things....never got communication from the property manager until about 30 min b4 arrival, even though thry told me thry had been trying to resch me. Did not have documenta ready for me to sign. Stil had previous tenants documents on the table. Multiple roaches discovered during our 4 nights. No hand towels in the kitchen at all. Ice cube tray filled with old ice cubes made out of fanta still in freezer. When i asked to get more blankets, was told that it is hot in rome so just turn the AC up or off. If im paying that kind money, i should get blankets if i want them. Small loveseat in the main bedroom extremely dirty. Also, if you rent this, be aware that the listing does not tell you that three bedrooms are all only seprated by doors so if you take the back one or the middle one, you have to walk through the other bedrooms to get out and to the livingroom. Dog barking and man singing outside at 6am!!!. Not what was expected!!!

Amazing apartment in a great location

Everything about this stay was fantastic. We had a group of 11 (4 adults, 7 kids) and this apartment fit us with plenty of room. The check in process with Susanna was super easy and she went out of her way to meet us even after several delays and arriving 4 hours later than we expected. The location is incredible, a short walk to the Colossuem and walkable to Termini Station. Would definitely stay here again!

Ideal location

Overall this location was great for our party of 8. The apartment is ideal for families and those with physical disabilities or limitations. The owner and his staff were accomodating and very easy to work with. Property was clean and well maintained. Some limitations to note were the spotty wifi and the persistent sewer odors.

Excellent location

We stayed at this property pre-cruise for a few days in June. We were a large group and the accommodations suited us perfectly. You camp ask for a more perfect location to visit the Collessum and the surrounding areas. We walked to great pizza places and other restaurants in the area. Small convenient store right next door where we were able to purchase incidentals. Close to the taxi station as well as the Metro. Prefect for our needs! And the teens loved that they had wifi!

Location was great

My family of 11 loved the location so close to the colosseum that you could see it to the left of the front door. There were adequate sleeping rooms and 4 bathrooms. The kitchen was a regular home’s kitchen- very useable. The two issues we struggled with a damp bedroom wing where air did not circulate well and a bad odor from the shower drain in that same wing. Fix these issues and the housing would be very pleasant and functional.

About the host

Hosted by Salvatore

Host profile image
Hi there!
My name is Salvatore Rinaldi, born in Rome in 1974, i am a roman "doc".
I am a former cook/chef, i studied this "art" at the Italian Chef Academy of Rome where i received my certificate of "Chef/Cook" and i used to work in one of the most prestigious restaurant of Rome, "Il San Lorenzo" where i refined the art of italian, and roman in particular, cuisine.
This is why i would love to please my guests with my cuisine during their stay; carbonara pasta, amatriciana, the famous "cacio & pepe" (cheese and pepper)..and then hand made bread, pizza, focaccia..and then cheese, fish and the best wine to accompany their dinner..
So please do not hesitate to contact me whether you wish to have a cook at home while you here!
I am married and a proud dad of two wonderful girls and since i was young i had a passion for jewels, old coins and precious stones and minerals so i completed my studies at the International Gemological Institute of Antwerp where i received my certificate of Gemologist. My two girls were the reason of the choice i made several years ago: i left the restaurant where i used to work and i started my new career as forensic gemologist and numismatic at the Court Criminal Division of Rome, where i work as a consultant expert.

Why they chose this property

Finally in 2009 i inaugurated "Comfy at the Coliseum", your vacation home away from home, in the centre of Rome where i will be happy to accommodate you all with my professionalism and my vocation for hospitality, with an eye for disability and accessibility of spaces, in order to give everybody the possibility to enjoy their stay and the beauty and history of the Eternal City because my motto is: "The right to enjoy Rome belongs to everybody".
