Gigante's Getaway

We love all the traditional features in this apartment – think wooden ceilings, stone walls, and original tiles that hark back to the building's heritage as a former mansion. Two guests will sleep on the mezzanine, but it's quite cosy if you don't mind that it lacks a bit of privacy. There also isn’t a sofa, so all unwinding will have to take place around the table. But the location? Excellent. Right on the historic Corso Vittorio Emanuele, you'll find shops, eateries, and more at your fingertips. There's also a funicular stop a short walk away that can whisk you down to Via Toledo and the famous Quartieri Spagnoli. Win, win.

Home truths:
*The first bedroom is on the mezzanine. It has a glass wall that overlooks the kitchen, so it lacks a bit of privacy.
*There isn’t a sofa or a proper living area here. With this in mind, it's probably best for those who plan to spend most of their time out and about.
*The kitchen is compact – we think it's better for light bites
*Parking isn't provided, but you won't need a car in this area. Instead of driving, we suggest exploring on foot or taking advantage of nearby public transport.
