Navona After Dark

A candlelit hot tub just a short walk from Piazza Navona is hard to resist, and this apartment delivers exactly that. The mezzanine sleeping area overlooking the loft-style living space adds architectural character, although the ceilings are on the lower side. The real highlight, however, is the hot tub – just what you'll want after a day of sightseeing. And in this location, you'll have plenty to explore. Campo de' Fiori's lively daily market is just a five-minute walk away, while the Pantheon's ancient dome is within easy reach. It's a rare base where the wonders of ancient Rome and the rhythms of everyday life feel equally close at hand.

Home truths:
* The layout is a little unconventional. You'll enter on the ground floor, where you'll find the hot tub. The first floor has two bedrooms (one en-suite), a bathroom, and an open-plan living area with a sofa bed and kitchen. The third bedroom is on a mezzanine above the living space, creating a multi-level layout that takes some getting used to.
* At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot. You'll need to request it in advance.
* Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
* The third bedroom is on the mezzanine level and semi-open to the space below, so privacy is limited.
