Vatican Oasis

Vatican Oasis: Lazio

Just outside Vatican City, this apartment offers a fantastic location for exploring Rome. Up on the third floor, you'll have two small balconies with enough space to sit out, and the sofa bed in the living room folds out to sleep two extra guests. At full capacity, there won't be enough seats for everyone at the dining table and the kitchen here is on the smaller side without an oven, but fear not. You'll have a selection of restaurants within walking distance, and public transport is easily accessible from your doorstep for hitting all the city's hotspots.

Home truths:
*Parking in Rome can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport. *Your host can provide a free cot for little ones. You'll need to request this in advance. *At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room. *This home is in an apartment building in a central location. You can expect to bump into other residents of the building, and you may hear some outside noise. *You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals. *The balcony overlooks the buildings opposite, so won't feel the most private and the views aren't the most inspiring.
