Vino Bianco

Vino Bianco: Lazio

We’ll admit it; an apartment this big in central Rome is a rare find indeed. Add in an attentive host, rooftop views and stylish decor and you know you’re onto a winner. The living area is a social space, perfect for big groups who want to spend time together. White, leather L-shaped sofas create the chill-out lounge and a mulberry-purple kitchen has everything you need to cook up a feast. Bedrooms are a medley of mezzanine spots and private king-size suites. The real boon is you’re looking out over Piazza Sforza Cesarini here, the heart of the action in the central Ponte neighbourhood. A seven-minute walk sees you at the pavement cafés and buzzing bars of Piazza Navona, and the ancient site of the Pantheon is fifteen minutes on foot.

Home truths:
*In an old building, the living room doesn't draw in much natural light
*Bedrooms two and three both have a mezzanine level with extra beds - for the full capacity there'll have to be some sharing
*The master bedroom doesn't have an ensuite
*A baby's cot can be arranged on request, just ask your host
*There is no parking with the apartment, but there is 24-hour parking a short walk away for a fee
