About this apartment rental
PENTHOUSE WITH VIEWS
A big and luxury penthouse (125 m² plus 125 m² of terraces) arranged on three floors with a SPECTACULAR 360° VIEW OVER ANCIENT ROME: enjoy the exclusive breathtaking view from its 3 terraces and windows, a view that in May 2008 was filmed by National Geographic for the programme “City Chase” in Rome.
EXCEPTIONAL DISCOUNT (normal discount for the week is 5%):
20% for the week May 21-28, 2026!!
A LOCATION TO REMEMBER FOREVER:
Ideal for families and groups looking for a very central location, it is of course ideal also for a couple or even a single person who wants a location to remember for ever!
AND IT IS PERFECT FOR SMART WORKING WITH THE GOOD WIFI ON THE BIG TABLE IN FRONT OF THE TERRACE!
The penthouse can host up to a maximum of 5 overnight guests (4 adults and 1 child).
At only two-minutes walk from the COLOSSEUM and the IMPERIAL FORUMS, the penthouse is PERFECT FOR VISITING ANCIENT ROME WHILE COMFORTABLY FEELING AT HOME.
The space of the entire property (250 m2: 125 inside and 125 outside) allows ease of living both inside (an inviting living room, a large dining table for 10 people, a spectacular Belvedere) and outside with its terraces on 3 floors. It is equipped with FULL COMFORTS (Jacuzzi hot tub, Internet wi-fi, air conditioning, smart TV, washer-dryer, dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave, elevator, iron, city guides etc.).
OUTDOOR SPACES AND STUNNING VIEWS ARE THE MAIN TRAIT OF THIS PENTHOUSE. Views play the leading role: inside, the numerous windows typical of the Fifties bring a unique mixture of light and views into the rooms, while outside the three terraces offer special outdoor spaces typical of the 1950s: the “Dolce Vita” years when the penthouse was built.
Three terraces for 125 m² in all, renovated using authentic materials from the Roman tradition (like travertine and marble-chip floor tiles) and furnished with table, chairs, deckchairs, sun beds, Mediterranean plants, offer:
• on the 6th floor a wonderful living and dining room in the open air;
• on the 7th floor a nice living space with an outdoor shower and view on the Basilica of S. Maria Maggiore;
• on the 8th floor an exclusive roof garden (50 m²) with 360° view on Rome.
A MINIMALIST INTERIOR DESIGN STYLE characterizes the apartment:
- light wood furniture, accompanied by shades of white and beige in textiles;
- no curtains that would exclude the external views;
- few tabletop accessories and books on the shelves;
- details maintained with particular attention to vintage restoration.
This style is A PRECISE CHOICE TO HIGHLIGHT:
- the AMAZING VIEWS offered by the windows of the apartment;
- the selection of MAPS AND PAINTINGS by famous authors that remind of the history of Rome, since maps by Pirro Ligorio, Vasi, Nolli, Piranesi and paintings by Giuliano Geleng (Fellini's scenographer), accompany you THROUGH THE CENTURIES UP TO THE FIFTIES, WHEN THE BUILDING GREW (1952-54).
IN CASE OF INTEREST FROM AN ADDITIONAL SMALL GROUP, ON VRBO A SMALL UNIT CAN BE RENTED IN THE SAME BLOCK, with the entrance in the parallel street. This is a unit with a period charm in a building from the 1910s and can host up to a maximum of 3 overnight guests (2 adults plus 1 child). In case of interest in renting it together with the penthouse, check availability and send an enquiry/book it at https://www.vrbo.com/en-gb/p11845924. In sending an enquiry or in booking it, always communicate the connection with the penthouse rental.
HIGH SEASON BOOKING REQUESTS - IMPORTANT:

PARKING. In the Celio district parking on payment (indicated by blue lines) or free (white lines) is available on the street. Covered parking on payment is available in a garage in the next street.
TOURIST TAX. Known as "Tassa di Soggiorno" in Italian, the Rome Tourist Tax is a charge paid upon check-in or check-out for any form of accommodation within city limits. It € 6 per night per person (above 10 years old), to be paid to the Municipality of Rome for the first 10 nights only.
HOUSE RULES. As you can understand, we cannot accept bookings with requests that cannot be fulfilled. So, before booking, first check if our VRBO House Rules meet your needs (see https://www.vrbo.com/en-gb/rm/settings/rentalpolicy/l-611.10493497.5520030/houserules).

IMPORTANT. At the moment in front of the 6th floor terrace there is still a worksite for the ongoing Line-C subway that at times can produce noise. Up to now no guest has had any problem because of it.
This aspect is certainly minor, but it is always important to be informed in advance.

10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Rafaella was very accommodating as a host and very hospitable. The apartment located very close to the colosseum, forum and Circus Maximus. If you want to cook, there is a supermarket nearby and the apartment is well stocked with cooking implements. An enjoyable stay and the sunsets on the roof are amazing

This was our second stay at this wonderful apartment, and it was just as perfect as the first time. The location can’t be beat — right in the heart of the city and only two blocks from the Coliseum. The rooftop deck offers absolutely stunning views of the skyline and the Coliseum itself, and we enjoyed some unforgettable sunsets up there.The apartment is filled with beautiful artwork celebrating the city’s history, which really added to the atmosphere and made the stay feel special. Everything was exactly as shown in the pictures, spotless, and very comfortable. The kitchen and dining area were impressively well equipped — stocked with more than enough cookware, dishes, and glasses for everyone.Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the hostess was friendly, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. She made everything so easy and pleasant from start to finish.We can’t recommend this VRBO highly enough — a true five-star stay and a place we’d gladly return to again and again!

Great location, wonderful host.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
We absolutely loved the location near the Colosseum and ended up walking to a lot of things we did. Great neighborhood restaurants and a Carrefour Express just a five minute walk away. Our host met us on arrival and showed us how every works and gave recommendations on some lesser known things to see. The apartment is well furnished with comfortable beds and the kitchen has everything we needed to make our breakfasts before heading out to explore. The combo washer and dryer took some figuring out, but the directions are in the homeowner’s manual, as are directions for everything else but the stove, which is gas and straightforward. Water pressure is excellent. The elevator was super convenient and we felt perfectly safe at all times in the building, and in Rome, for that matter. Extra blankets were provided, as well as hand soap dispensers. Laundry detergent, dishwasher tabs were also provided. And Nespresso capsules were available. We did not use the drip coffee maker. Last but not least, the views from the three levels of exterior terraces were unforgettable. There is construction going on nearby during the day, but we were out and not bothered at all. Download and use the Freenow app for getting taxis to where you want to go. We loved our home in Rome and would love to return!!
