Colosseo Abode

Colosseo Abode: Lazio

Just around the corner from the world-famous Colosseum, this spacious apartment couldn't be better located to see the Roman sights. Housed in a historic building, it blissfully blends traditional features with modern necessities, creating a comfortable and characterful base in the City of Seven Hills.

Connected to the bright living space, a quaint balcony looks over a typical street in the Italian capital. Watch the world go by as you sip your morning coffee and tuck into a cannoli. There's plenty to look at in this home, from the romantic antique furniture to the charming paintings that hang on every wall. Musical guests will no doubt be drawn to the piano – remember to pack your sheet music.

Reach the site of ancient gladiator fights – and the city's most iconic landmark – in just seven minutes. The Circus Maximus is also a short stroll away and equally steeped in fascinating history. End your day of sightseeing with a pizza and pasta meal in one of the authentic Italian restaurants nearby, returning home for a sunset aperitif on the balcony.
