Imagine yourself sipping a delicious cup of Espresso, on a beautiful terrace of a café bathed in soft light, watching elegant people walking thousand year-old streets... Take a breath, you're in Rome! And what better way to experience the city like a local than by renting Rome apartments. Rome's history is rich and very well documented and goes back an incredible 2 and a half thousand years. Rome is also one of the most visited cities in the world and therefore there are many apartments in Rome to choose from. The Vatican museum attracts just over 4 million visitors each year and the Vatican area is a popular area to stay in Rome holiday apartments. Choose your Rome apartments in one of the following locations:
Choose your Rome apartments in Trastevere
Located across the river from the historic centre and on the same side as the Vatican, Trastevere is a safe area where many Romans live. Visitors come here to visit the Santa Maria in Trastevere church, to stroll the ancient narrow streets filled with interesting boutiques and of course for Trastevere's endless choice of bars and restaurants. It is very lively area in the evening and if you don't choose to stay in Rome holiday apartments here, make sure to visit anyway.
Choose your apartments in Rome in Campo dei Fiori
Probably the most beautiful and scenic market in Rome and a perfect place for you to hire a Rome holiday apartment if you want a romantic break with your loved one. The market itself is full of glorious produce and by day the market is the main focus of the area. By night the youth of Rome comes here for the traditional aperitivo time.
The Colosseum, for your Rome holiday apartments
You can find many Rome apartment rentals close to The Colosseum. For centuries this amphitheatre held host to barbaric Gladiator battles and pretty much sums up Rome and its history. By staying here you will be spoilt for choice as far as bars and restaurants go but the main advantage is being so close to one of the world's leading attractions. »More Rome Tips

Some Rome Apartment Reviews
Choosing a Rome self-catering rental over a hotel means to be guaranteed to have the freedom to do as you wish. You will have access to cooking facilities and extra space which is why for Rome family travel this is often the preferred option. Then there's the location of your Rome apartment: hotels cannot be built in many top stops of the city but you will always find an apartment that can be rented short-term.
Grandioso
The apartment in Rome is indeed exceptional: having a rooftop flat with large terrace on top of a 15th century renaissance cloister in an almost pedestrianised part of old Rome and from which you can see the Vatican, the Spanish Steps, the Typewriter, the Pantheon,... is very, very special. The service by Amalia is also very very special: e.g. I remarked to her that the showers would be more user-friendly if they had a soapholder attached to the wall; the next morning a workman called to fix a soapholder in each of the 2 showers!

Roma Trastevere
This is a charming Rome apartment in the Trastevere area. the 4-floor walk-up is worth it for the roof-top terrace that is a key feature. We enjoyed sipping a glass of wine on the terrace in the early evening listening to the sounds of the streets below. It is a bit small but perfect for 2 and we managed with our teen-aged daughter, too. The owner was extremely helpful and pleasant. Mike Kierna (21-03-2012)
