About this property

Get the local feel in a nice and safe neighborhood in the heart of Rome!

CasaLilli is a place where you can feel the security and warmth of home. We are an English-speaking family, making it easy to communicate your wants and needs.

It has a modern and very spacious living/dining room with a sofa bed that can comfortably sleep two, satellite TV, DVD player, and a stereo CD player. There are two tastefully appointed bathrooms, one with a bathtub, and the other with a shower and a hair dryer. The master bedroom, furnished with antique furniture, has a decidedly romantic feel. The other bedroom, with twin beds and a study, is comfortable and contemporary. Both bedrooms are air-conditioned.

The kitchen is completely equipped with a mini oven, a four burner gas range with oven, fridge, Nespresso coffee maker, blender, toaster, plus all the necessary cooking utensils. It leads to a terrace where you can enjoy your meals al fresco. A washing machine and flat iron complete the list of amenities.

CasaLilli is within walking distance from the sites of Ancient Rome - the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Trajan Market, and Circus Maximus. Just around the corner, and not to be missed, is the Basilica of San Clemente, a structure of three churches built one on top of the other during three different eras, thus condensing 2000 years of Christian history. The Domus Aurea, better known as the Golden House of Nero, is just a couple of blocks away. It was from here that the famous Emperor watched while Rome burned.

The Villa Celimontana, the venue for the annual summer Jazz and Image Festival, is just a 3-minute walk from CasaLilli. This is a beautiful park where you can go jogging, have picnics, or simply enjoy an afternoon stroll.

CasaLilli is surrounded by local pubs, pizzerias, restaurants, and all the conveniences of modern living, such as a beauty parlor, pharmacy, groceries, coffee shop, laundry shop, internet point, gelateria, shoe repair shop and flower shop, to name just a few.

Start and end your day with the warmth and comfort of CasaLilli. let it be your Home in Rome.

Looking forward to giving you a warm welcome to Rome and to CasaLilli.

Your host,
Marmi, Francesca Alessandro and Gianpaolo

The listing was 100% accurate: we experienced the local feel of Rome—removed from the tourist hub-bub. Things to note: delicious gelato at the end of the block, and a delightful bakery made for fun evenings and great early mornings. Marmi was responsive and helpful with recommendations. We enjoyed our stay!

What a lovely place and amazing host! Location very close to the colosseum, making it easy to sites in that area. Many excellent restaurants within walking distance. Host was so helpful in organizing tours, sharing recommendations for restaurants, and also with transportation. She was communicative from time of booking until departure date. The multiple bathrooms was very convenient for our family. Would absolutely stay again if we had the chance both for the excellent hosting as well as accomodations.

Had a wonderful stay at Casa Lilli. The host was very welcoming and the location is great for using public transportation or grabbing a taxi. The area is very safe and quiet compared to other parts of the city center and it is just a stones throw away from the Colosseum. I would definitely stay at this residence again.

Wonderful location, just a few blocks away from the Colosseum and Roman Forum. There were lots of great restaurants and a grocery store within a few-minutes walk of the flat. Our host, Marmi, was wonderful. She quickly responded to all of our questions and needs; she even arranged two great days with a private tour guide on short notice. We would definitely stay here again.

Needed a place to stay while in Rome with my son. The hostess was helpful in arranging a car to pick us up from the airport. She met us at the apartment and showed us around our home for the next 4 days. She shared some tips for getting around Rome as well as some restaurant recommendations. The apartment was clean and the beds were comfortable! WiFi was included, and we felt safe in the neighborhood. Two blocks from the Colosseum- can’t beat the location!

Our stay excellent. All amenities in kitchen salt, oil, sugar etc. very convenient even the coffee. Location very close to Coliseum, restaurants and 24 hour market. Central location but out of the hustle and bustle of the main area. Finally the host was awesome!! My back went out and suffered severe sciatica leaving me with excruciating pain and in mobilized. In an unknown country I had no one except for the host. She helped trying to locate care for me, made follow up calls and I had to stay 2 extra days. She also was helping us locate lodging. Marmi was a blessing it made us feel we had someone in a country that was unknown to us. Definitely recommend !!

We loved our stay in this apartment. We were walkable to restaurants and some attractions and yet the neighbourhood was quiet and felt quite safe. We also enjoyed having the little balcony as a place to have our coffee in the morning. It worked very well for two couples. Marmi was a very helpful host and was quick to answer any questions we had.

About the host

Hosted by Marmi Fuentebella

Host profile image
My name is Maria Milagros, but everyone calls me Marmi. Originally from the Philippines, I came to Rome in 1979 after graduating from college. Like many dreamers, I tossed more than a few coins into the Trevi Fountain, hoping to return—and here I am, over 40 years later, still living in this beautiful city!

Rome continues to enchant me just as it did the first time I arrived, and I’m so grateful that I now have the opportunity to share its magic with my guests. Traveling is one of my greatest passions, and I’ve been lucky enough to explore many parts of the world. But it’s hosting in Rome that brings me the most joy—welcoming people from all walks of life and helping them make the most of their stay.

As your host, I’m here to ensure your visit is easy and enjoyable. Whether you need assistance with private transfers, personalized tours, or insider tips on the best events and hidden gems in the city, I’m always happy to help. CasaLilli has been designed to offer the comfort of home, wrapped in the charm of the Italian ‘Dolce Vita.’

I look forward to welcoming you to Rome and making your stay truly unforgettable!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family for generations, originally belonging to my husband’s grand-aunt before being passed down to us. What I love most about this neighborhood is its rich history and vibrant atmosphere. You can step right out of the front door and walk directly to the iconic Colosseum, where emperors once ruled the arena—it’s a breathtaking experience every time.

One of the best things about this area is its proximity to many of Rome’s most famous sites. You’re within walking distance of landmarks like the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Basilica of San Giovanni, all while being just far enough from the city’s chaos to enjoy a more relaxed, local atmosphere. It truly feels like the heart of Rome, but with a peaceful charm that allows you to experience the authentic side of the city.

This neighborhood offers a delightful blend of ancient history and modern life. It’s very safe, perfect for leisurely strolls through streets lined with beautiful architecture. You can also escape to Villa Celimontana, a hidden gem of a park where locals unwind in nature. The area is filled with charming shops, authentic Roman trattorias, open-air markets, and lively wine bars, offering both day and night experiences.

Well-connected yet peaceful, this neighborhood is the perfect balance between history and modernity, allowing you to live like a local while being surrounded by the best Rome has to offer.

What makes this property unique

From the apartment one easily reaches the main Ancient Roman sites such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill, Basilica San Clemente, and the Golden House of Nero just to name a few. There are banks, groceries, restaurants, pizzerias, pubs, coffee shops, laundromat, market, pharmacy and parks all within walking distance from Casa Lilli. The metro, bus stop and taxi stands are just 3 to 5 minutes walk. I chose the location to give our visitors the possibility to step out of the front door and walk straight to the Colosseum where the emperors once dominated the arena.
The neighborhood is great and safe surrounded by parks and yet CasaLilli is on a very quiet street!
I'll be very glad to help you with tours and transfers to make your stay easy and comfortable.
I hope to have the pleasure to welcome you to Rome and to CasaLilli.
