The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed and en-suite bathroom with bathtub. There is a twin bedroom with a small balcony. This has a trellis and vines and a view (not a scenic one) over the internal courtyard. This second bedroom has its own bathroom with shower, accessed from the hallway. The apartment also has a washing machine.
Guests have access to the roof terrace of the palazzo. Here you'll find plenty of space for relaxing with a drink at the table and chairs and amidst the potted plants. From here you will see part of the enormous Victor Emanuele Monument at the Piazza Venezia. And the view of the rooftops and skyline of Rome is a beautiful and relaxing vista at the end of a day's sightseeing.
The central location is perfect - right next to the River Tiber and close to the river's sole island, the Isola Tiberina. The famed Teatro di Marcello is close by, as is the Piazza Campo de' Fiori, one of Rome's loveliest squares and home to a bustling fruit and vegetable market. This is ideal for picking up fresh food each day for the kitchen. Or you can simply dine at one of the many excellent restaurants and cafes that flank the piazza.

A smallish district sheltered under the heights of the Janiculum Hill, it was the artisan area of the city in classical times, neatly placed for the trade that came upriver from Ostia and which was unloaded nearby. Outside the city walls, Trastevere (the name means literally 'across the Tiber') was for centuries heavily populated by immigrants, and this uniqueness and separation lent the neighbourhood a strong identity that has lasted well. It is among the most pleasant places to stroll in Rome, particularly peaceful in the morning, and lively come the evening, as dozens of trattorias set tables out along the cobblestone streets (Trastevere has long been known for its restaurants). The neighbourhood has also become the focus of the city's alternative scene and is home to much of its most vibrant and youthful nightlife. But you needn't cross the river to eat. One of the top restaurants in Rome, Piperno, is just two blocks away and another favourite of the owners sits at the back of the palazzo - just ask your hosts for details.
This holiday apartment in Rome is just a few blocks from Torre Argentina Square, where you can catch trams and buses to the Vatican, the metro and the central train station.
In fact whatever you want to see in Rome is a walk, a bus ride or a metro trip away - ask your hosts who will be pleased to help with hints on what to see and how to get there.
