About this property
PENTHOUSE. BREATHTAKING VIEWS
Brand-new penthouse located in the heart of Rome, just a short walk from the Colosseum and the Forums. Flooded with light and featuring a large private terrace, it is situated on 16th-century Merulana Boulevard, which connects Rome’s major basilicas. A unique style blending modern and antique design with amazing views of historic Rome! Just a 15-minute walk from the train station, a few steps from the metro, and right across from the lively Monti district, it’s the perfect spot for sightseeing and enjoying countless restaurants and shops. The apartment has been completely renovated; it is spacious with large windows overlooking the ancient Rome skyline. It is very well equipped with everything you need and is located on the 5th floor of a historic building without an elevator. It has two double bedrooms, each with its own full, modern en-suite bathroom featuring walk-in showers. In addition, a smaller room can accommodate two children or one adult. Common areas include: - a spacious and uniquely designed dining room that can also serve as a large workspace; - A cozy living room with antique furniture and art - A gorgeous kitchen overlooking the terrace and the view, with direct access to the terrace - A large private terrace with two tables and chairs for six, where you can enjoy meals and a nice glass of wine! In addition, the apartment features a laundry area and a convenient storage unit. Via Merulana is steeped in history and culture, offering visitors a captivating journey through the layers of Rome’s past. As you wander along this ancient thoroughfare, you’ll be transported back in time to the days of the Roman Empire, passing architectural marvels and archaeological wonders at every turn. At one end of Via Merulana stands the majestic Basilica of St. John Lateran, considered the oldest basilica in the Western world and the cathedral of Rome. Its imposing façade and grand interior house priceless works of art and relics, inviting visitors to marvel at centuries of religious devotion and architectural brilliance. As you continue your stroll, you’ll come across the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, a true gem of Romanesque and Baroque architecture. Inside, intricate mosaics depict biblical stories with breathtaking detail, while the ornate chapels and sacred relics offer a glimpse into the city’s spiritual heritage. But Via Merulana’s charm doesn’t end with its religious landmarks. Along the way, you’ll discover hidden courtyards, quaint piazzas, and artisan workshops where traditional crafts have been practiced for generations. Each cobblestone step stands as a testament to Rome’s enduring legacy, inviting you to uncover the stories etched into its ancient walls and bustling streets. In essence, Via Merulana is more than just a street—it’s a living museum where history, culture, and tradition converge, offering visitors a truly immersive experience in the heart of the Eternal City. Monti District: Rome’s version of old Soho. In Rome, Monti is that place, and the comparison is apt—although what Monti lacks in advertising agencies and mustachioed tech guys, it makes up for in creative enclaves, smoky bars, and delicious places to eat. Nestled right in the heart of the city, bordered by Trajan’s Market to the west and the Quirinale to the north, the long, narrow streets are packed with art galleries, vintage shops, international boutiques, and unique dining options. This is where young Romans are flocking to live, and where creative innovation is palpable in a city that sometimes feels reserved for tourists seeking the old. Head to Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, grab a beer, and sit back to watch the exuberant flirting around the fountain. For dinner, try Urbana 47 for innovative dishes and Taverna La Romana for traditional pasta, before grabbing a late-night cocktail at one of the two Black Market bars.

Communication with the property owner good have been alot better. Location is great. Apartment is on the fifth floor and there is no elevator. No air conditioning in the common areas.
Loved the location, in the middle of everything. It’s a lot of stairs to access the apartment, but once you get to it, it’s really lovely. Beds are comfortable!
This property was awesome, located really close to the Coliseum and other attractions, it was safe, clean and easy to make it to the apartment. We loved the view from the bedrooms and the front balcony with the table. If we go back to Rome, we would definitely consider renting this place again.
Just want to say that this was a wonderful location to pretty much anything you need. Easy walking distance to Colosseum, lots of eateries very close, very nice food Pizzeria Birraerria Galilei right across the street, wonderfully eclectic family run pizzeria with fantastic food and pricing. Tempio Di Mercenate just up the street was wonderful as well. Germana responded to all of our concerns, place was bright and airy. There are 5 flights of stairs so beware, it didn’t bother us but some it would. The air conditioning in the rooms is adequate for warmer nights. All in all we would definitely stay again. Grazie!
The Rooftop flat in Rome is amazing. It is in a perfect location (walking to the Train station and Colosseum/Forums). Great food in a very safe area. The flat is wonderful. Lots of space, sweeping views in 3 directions in a secure building. My daughter loved the loft bed, and we enjoyed the patio and living spaces. It is on the 5th floor so several stairs, but to get that much space with those views it is certainly worth it. The host was amazing. They helped us with a car service to the airport and were attentive without ever being intrusive. The next time we are in Rome we would 100% stay here again. Thanks Germana!
This place was fabulous! Every time we entered it, after adventuring around Rome, we felt so glad to be here. Sipping espresso on the gorgeous terrace, looking out the windows, relaxing with board games on the couch. The kitchen is spacious, bright, and well equipped. The whole place felt cozy and had plenty of room for our family of 5. You will FEEL like you are in Rome with the minimalist yet stylish way this is set up and the tall, very cool ceilings. Germana is lightning-quick with responding to emails. We didn't realize quite how many stairs there were leading up to this rooftop flat - and that was tiring but all part of our Roman adventure (which, after all, seems to be a city of stairs and walking anyhow). The little store right next to it had fresh fruits, baked goods, and some grocery items that were handy - and a bigger grocery was just a 2 min walk down the street. Honestly, this place is so comfortable you might want to book an extra night just to enjoy your time in it more!
Lovely, beautifully decorated apartment with lots of space. The location is great- 10-15 walk to the coliseum and near lots of shops and restaurants. The six flight walk up is a bit of a drag at the end of a long day but provided for nice views and breezes in the apartment.
We immensely enjoyed our stay at Germana's place. The views from the windows and patios was special. The beds were comfortable. The location was convenient for groceries, metro, busses, and restaurants. The jigsaw puzzle provided a nice respite from the hectic touristy stuff.Germana was responsive and helpful.
Perfect in every way! Great location in a safe and bustling area in Rome. Very spacious and perfect for a family with kids - the bed in the loft space was a big hit with the kids. Highly recommend!
Stayed 3 nights before a cruise. Great location. 2 blocks from subway. Lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. Quiet building. Well stocked kitchen. I just wish Italy would adopt American central air.
Stayed there with a family of 5 and never felt crammed in. The host was great by being available to answer any questions and provide car services to and from the airport. 3 mins exiting the place to the left is a grocery store with everything needed. I recommend the Gelato spot 5mins to the right. Stairs did take some getting use to, but worth the trip to a brezzy flat when arrived. I would recommend this place and stay there next time im back.
This 6-story walk-up is a beautiful suite with rooftop views. The well-eqipped apartment is decorated with art, has comfortable bedrooms, and has large patio off the kitchen which is lovely spot in the mornings and evenings. During the day, when light floods the space, it feels like a retreat from the busy streets of Rome. We highly recommend others stay here, but note that visitors should pack lightly, as there's no elevator.

Beautiful appartement well situated, just know that it is located on the sixth floor and no elevator. My wife walking with a cane it was a little difficult going up and down for her. Carrying luggage up six floors was also challenging.
Germana is a great and responsive host and the apartment is amazing and set in a great location. Spotlessly clean all facilities we could hope for and it was lovely to have the roof top garden especially as we had friends and we could sit and socialise outside in the evenings. We came from New Zealand and had heavy suitcases and the apartment is up many flights of stairs with no elevators which did cause a bit of struggle for us. I cannot remember if the ad mentioned this or not and although it’s not something we wish to complain about, we mention it for other guests so that they are aware of this.
If you manage stairways and do not need a washing machine this is a great place to stay! Air condition was really nice to have.The kitchen and the terrace was something extra!
