You can’t visit Rome without visiting the Vatican City – luckily this stylish abode is just a five-minute stroll to St. Peter's Square. It’s also only a ten-minute walk to the Vatican Museums, as well as Castel Sant'Angelo with its large roof terrace offering breathtaking views across the city. Right on this apartment’s street, there’s a range of restaurants, gelaterias and cafés to choose from – we think this is a wonderful location. After all that sightseeing, you’ll need somewhere super comfortable to return to. If you don’t fancy eating out for dinner, cook some pasta and enjoy at the dining table, next to the window with views across the neighbourhood. The bedrooms, with little touches like the distressed metal lights, and warm parquet floors, make for a charming retreat. So, when in Rome, if you want the perfect setting, combined with a comfortable home, look no further.

Home truths:
*There's no lift in the building – so be prepared to climb a few flights of stairs
*This home sleeps up to six but two guests would be on sofa beds in the living room which would compromise any social communal space – we think this home is best suited to four guests
*There's no air conditioning in the second bedroom, though there is a portable fan fan
*Child-friendly amenities such as a cot and high chair are available upon request
