Photos and Description of the Colosseum area vacation apartment rental
Apartment, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2)

Whisk a loved one away on a romantic break and forget about the world you are leaving behind, enjoying instead the relaxation and romance with someone special in this cozy, clean, central apartment: easily you can reach by foot the main sites like the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Santa Maria Maggiore Church, Piazza Venezia, Fontana di Trevi, Pantheon, Campo di Fiori)

This romantic studio/apartment (perfect for an unforgettable honeymoon) is located near the Roman Forum and the Colosseum in the area called 'Monti', ancient neighborhood of the 'Suburra ' mentioned in historical sources, that still today maintains a popular and characteristic flavor.

The apartment is on the second floor of a building of the 19th Century (with elevator and air conditioning) and it is composed of: bedroom (queen/king size bed) with a small balcony that looks out on a good sized garden. With the greenery and freshness of the garden, you would never guess that you are in the historic center of Rome. The bedroom is separated from the living room by means of a sliding door. The door has been painted with tromp l'oeil effect by the owner and when opened forms, together with the decoration on the walls of the living room, gives an unique illusion.

Going down three steps you enter the dining area and kitchen corner (refrigerator, microwave, electric stove, and everything needed for preparing your brakfast or light meals). The tiles in the kitchen as well as the dining tabletop have all been painted by hand by the owner, another example of the care that has gone into decorating this apartment. The dining area looks out on a typical Roman piazza, complete with a characteristic pizzeria with tables and umbrellas. The original wooden ceiling tiles has been restored, giving the warmth of wood to the entire environment. The bathroom is decorated with travertine tiles, and, though not very big, it is comfortable and includes: w.c., bidet, sink and shower.

This location is perfect for those who want to walk in the centre (easily you can reach by foot the main sites like the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Santa Maria Maggiore Church, Piazza Venezia, Fontana di Trevi, Pantheon, Campo di Fiori) or reach any other destination by public transportation. There is a bus stop (bus 117) close to the apartment that will take you in a few minutes in Spanish Steps or Piazza del Popolo (the trendy and famous fashion district) or use underground stop 'Cavour Line B' just at few steps from the apartment: in only one stop you will be able to reach the Central Station Termini and from there you can also easily reach Ancient Ostia and the seaside/beach front of Ostia Lido, where you can spend part of your day in summer season.

About The Owner

Natalia worked as a flight attendant (cabin crew) for Alitalia Airlines from 1970 to 1995. Prior to her work at Alitalia, she lived for more than a year in London, studying and working in a tourist agency. She speaks excellent English, understands and speaks Spanish and can 'get by' in French.

The twenty-five years she spent traveling from one country to another gave her an opportunity to learn about the ways and customs of many countries and enhanced her natural predisposition for interpersonal relationships; she always succeeds in establishing an immediate, friendly relationship with her guests.

Since 1995, she has attended the 'Academy of Decorative Arts', discovering a hidden talent for painting and decorating that she never imagined before. She now puts this talent to use personally decorating her apartments. In fact, the tiles in the kitchens and the tabletops in the dining areas of her apartments are all hand painted as well as the tromp l'oeil paintings, which gives each apartment a unique touch.

In the last 4 years she has attended courses of the History of Roman Art, which allowed her to get to know the city on a new level. She provides her guests with useful information on Rome and its monuments and archaeological sites.

Upon your arrival Natalia will make available, in addition to her knowledge and experience, a large number of tourist guides, brochures and maps of Rome so that you will immediately have Rome, as they say, 'in your hands.'

The Owner purchased this apartment in 2000
Why The Owner chose Colosseum area

The apartment is located next to the Roman Forum. The oldest and most important structures of the ancient city are located in the forum, including its ancient former royal residency the Regia and the surrounding complex of the Vestal virgins. The Old Republic had its formal Comitium there where the senate, as well as Republican government began. The forum served as a city square and central hub where the people of Rome gathered for justice, and faith. The forum was also the economic hub of the city and considered to be the center of the Republic and Empire.

My husband and I were warmly welcomed by Gabriela, a friend of Walter and Natalia. The apartment exceeded all our expectations and we spent a most enjoyable week there. It was so quiet, comfortable and safe -- a joy to return to after hours of sightseeing and walking. We would love to return some day, perhaps for a little longer.

Highly Recommended

5 of 5

Walter and Natalia’s conscientiousness enthusiasm makes the Roman Forum an ideal apartment. My wife and I spent seven nights in Rome and highly recommend the apartment. It is small, but well laid out and functional. If you are a big person, you may want to reconsider. The kitchen is small but also functional.
The location is ideal. The apartment is within walking distance to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine, and just about every other major site. We only took the metro one time to the Vatican—every place else we walked. A metro stop (Cavour) and several bus stops are very close, within walking distance.
Walter handles most of the booking arrangements and is very prompt in returning e-mails. During our stay he even told us about an impending strike during which public transportation would be shut down. Natalia seems to manage the guest relations, and she is very good at it. Upon arrival she sits down with you spends the time necessary to familiarize you with the area. She reviews locations on a map, and suggests places to visit. She recommends her favorite (non-tourist restaurants) and points out markets, grocery stores, etc.
I highly recommend Roman Forum.

Loved our home away from home

We stayed here for two weeks in January and it is the perfect time to visit Rome. The apartment location is perfect for exploring on foot. We never had to use public transportation though it is easily available. The area is a safe neighborhood without many tourists. Lots of shops, restaurants and a grocery store nearby, even one of the small piazzas complete with its own fountain where there is after school and work gatherings.The apartment was pristine and Natalia and Walter were available for any questions you might have. We have been to Rome many times but this was a first for renting an apartment. We would do this again without a second thought. Thanks Natalia and Walter .

Another fabulous stay

5 of 5
Submitted: January 6, 2013 Stayed: May 2012
This is the fourth time we've stayed at the Colosseum apartment, which in itself says something. Walter and Natalia remain the perfect hosts. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The flat is so convenient (2 minutes from the metro, 5-10 minutes from the Colosseum and Forum) and the area full of bars and restaurants. We've stayed in numerous places in Rome but once we found this place we've never even bothered to look anywhere else - it's a delightful, confortable place to stay with welcoming hosts. You can be sure that next time we come to Rome we will be staying here again (and again, and again).
