A short walk brings you to the Domus Aurea, the Basilica of San Clemente, San Pietro in Vincoli and Michelangelo’s Moses. Or wander through the gardens of Colle Oppio: shaded, peaceful, scattered with ancient ruins.
Turn one corner and you're in Monti, cobbled streets, narrow lanes, and a rhythm that’s unmistakably Roman. Think family-run trattorias, thoughtful wine bars, artisan gelato shops and cafés that spill onto the pavement. It’s not a postcard version of Rome, it’s the real thing, lived in and loved.
Venture in the other direction and you reach the Esquilino district: multicultural, lively, surprising. Its bustling market is one of the city’s best-kept secrets, and its streets are lined with eateries offering flavours from every corner of the world.
La Casa al Colosseo sits right at the heart of it all.
An apartment placed where history isn’t staged, but lived. Every street leads somewhere worth walking.
Every corner has a past and a present.
Step outside, and the whole city opens up around you. Step back in, and you're home.
