Art on the Vine: Lazio

Those looking to escape the tourist crowds and immerse themselves in authentic Roman living will appreciate the quiet locale of this bright apartment, located just a three-minute walk from the Monti Tiburtini Metro station.

Inside, large windows giving way to rooftop views over the neighbourhood and an assortment of eclectic art – reflecting your host's love of travel – create a characterful welcome in the main living area. Make yourself comfortable on the sofa with a glass of Italian wine after a day of exploring, then gather around the table for an at-home feast when you’re not out sampling the local pizzerias.

The study that acts as a third bedroom is the ideal spot to secret yourself away for some quiet reading or working at the desk, while the balcony here offers a sunny retreat to indulge in a Spritz while soaking up some rays.

The other two bedrooms are comfortable spaces where you’ll have no trouble finding a restful night’s sleep. With one offering a luxurious rainfall shower en-suite and the other proffering balcony access, everyone’s a winner when it comes to carefree relaxation.

Thanks to your proximity to the Metro station, Rome’s most famous sights are easily accessible by public transport – the Colosseum is twenty minutes away, the Trevi Fountain is reachable in thirty and Vatican City is fifty minutes away by Metro. Closer to home, you’ve got a wide selection of restaurants and gelaterias, and leafy Parchetto Feronia is an eight-minute stroll from your door.
