About this property
THE HOUSE OF THE MARBLES, a 5 minute walk to the Colosseum and the Vatican
Refined and quiet apartment on the first floor, in the historic Via dei Giubbonari, right in the middle of the walkway between Colosseum and the Vatican. Ancient marbles that belonged to the Roman princes, parts of the walls from which fragments of amphora still emerge: the original character has been carefully respected in the modern renovation. It consists of two bedrooms, each one with a large double bed and its own bathroom with access from the bedroom, in addition to a common room intended for the living room, where there is a comfortable sofa bed for a possible fifth guest. In the living room there is a dining area, a kitchen with a combined oven (including a microwave), a fridge and a gas hob. Air conditioning in every room. For long stays (over 10 days), we can provide a washer machine if required. The main bathroom in antique yellow marble has a very comfortable shower (1.50 x 0.90 m); a marble sink that, like the others in the house, was created from a fountain that comes from the garden of one of the oldest Roman families. The bathroom of the second bedroom, with shower box, is smaller in size but not less attention to detail, also equipped with a hairdryer and a still functioning bronze cock of the '700. Via dei Giubbonari, which leads to the Campo dei Fiori square, is one of the busiest streets in the center and full of shops. This apartment, located a few meters from the ancient House of Pompey, is ideal for a fascinating exploration of the mysteries and wonders of the Eternal City. In the houses of ancient Rome, unlike today, the apartments on the ground and first floors were the most valuable, due to the greater security they offered in the then very frequent case of a fire: the wooden ceilings of this old apartment they are not very high (about 2.20 meters) Our WhatsApp contact is + 39 335 395629.

The property was the perfect location for all of our activities and only a 8-30 minute walk to all major spots. The management was responsive and helpful.
The property was just as we expected. The photos were accurate and the reviews the same. The property was in an excellent location. Walk to many of the famous places to visit We really enjoyed the property, it was clean and spacious for two! I would recommend this property.
We had an amazing stay! The apartment was exactly as pictured—beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable. The beds and pillows were great, and everything felt clean and well cared for.The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of Rome and walking distance to all the major attractions. We felt very safe, even at night, with secure gated access and coded entry. There were plenty of delicious restaurants nearby, and getting dropped off and picked up by taxis was super easy.Our host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Rome!
This was a great stay for us and a good location. I did misread the 5-minute walk to the Colosseum however so that was disappointing (had I read further into the description I would have seen the actual walking time) but that was my fault. Very clear instructions from the host on how to access the apartment so that was great. Very clean, host was great for communication, it had everything we needed and we were very happy with our stay here! Great location for shops, food, cafes. Would definitely recommend.
This was our second stay at the House of Marbles. This time we brought my sister & brother-in-law. Like us, they were very impressed by the accommodations as well as the central location. We would Highly Recommend this wonderful apartment.
