About this property

ROOFTOP FLAT. 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.

Loved the space and would stay there again. Did lose electricity as had too many electricity items running…would have been nice to have upfront info or instructions at the apartment. It took about 45 minutes to get help from Germana. However, I realize she may have been busy.

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.

We loved the location and property

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.

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.

Upon arrival the check in app wasn’t working and we could not get into the building. We stood outside the building for 30 minutes trying to get in. The building door is opened electronically which we couldn’t because the app wasn’t working. I was told that was my fault. I called the host a dozen times with no answer. We only got into the building because someone came out. Then due to the app not working we couldn’t get the code to the key box. Over an hour waiting to get in; sweating in the extreme heat with small kids, one is a medically complex child. I was told all this was my fault because I didn’t check in early enough. The host didn’t answer calls The washer is piled high with stuff on top of it making it hard to useAC was dripping water making larger puddles on the floor and they wouldn’t come help fix u til the next day, my kids fell several times slipping in the water.

Dear guests, you arrived several hours before the check-in time without notifying us. The link to access the place works at the check-in time and must be respected because there are rules. You can’t enter the house early in the morning when other guests still need to check out. If you had communicated this need, we would have suggested a luggage storage. The point is that you never replied to our messages and showed up suddenly at the door expecting to get in. As for the air conditioning that was dripping a little water, it was promptly fixed the following morning.

This property is VERY well located. We walked to it upon our arrival from the train station and were also able to walk to many nearby attractions. There are over 100 stairs to/from the unit, so if that is a limiting factor for anyone in your party, this location is not optimal. When you reserve the property, let the owner know how many beds you need (as opposed to how many people will stay). I let the owner know there were four people in our party so she only had two full/queen-sized beds made up for us. However, none of us is a couple — I was with my mom and two of my grown children. When I asked the owner if someone could clean and make up the loft and spare beds, she declined, indicating that two beds were made for the four of us. The loft bed was, in fact, made but the sheets were used/not cleaned from the last renters, so we didn’t use it. That was unfortunate. The living room has one comfortable couch, and the deck area is nice, though we were rarely home to enjoy the view. There is also a large dining area. The A/C is only in the two bedrooms, which was adequate, even in a heat wave. The kitchen was nice for morning breakfast; many markets nearby to shop for what you need. In sum, we had a good experience aside from the sleep situation. The communication related to the beds and our sleeping needs was frustrating.

Dear guests, thank you for your feedback; we are delighted that you enjoyed your holiday. The apartment is located on the top floor and features a private terrace; as stated in the listing, there are five flights of stairs. It is a historic building, and such traditional Roman buildings do not have elevators. Regarding the sleeping arrangements, we prepared two double beds and one single bed for the four guests. We kindly ask you to let us know in advance if you require four separate beds for four people. Warm regards from Rome.

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.

Roaming Rome

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!

Perfect Home Base in an Amazing Neighborhood

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!

like home in Rome

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!
