About this property

THE HOUSE OF THE MARBLES, a 5 minute walk to the Colosseum and the Vatican

Refined and curated apartment on the first floor, in the historic Via dei Giubbonari, right in the middle of the walkway between Colosseum and Piazza San Pietro. Ancient marbles that belonged to the Roman princes, parts of the walls from which fragments of amphora still emerge: the original character has been carefully respected in the modern renovation, which was followed with passion and competence by a specialist in archeology. It consists of two bedrooms, each with a large double bed and its own bathroom with access from the bedroom, in addition to a common room intended for the living room, where there is a comfortable sofa bed for a possible fifth guest. In the living room there is a dining area, a kitchen with a combined oven (including a microwave), a fridge and a gas hob.
The house is comfortable and quiet: the master bedroom has a view of the ancient Via dei Pompieri, which links Via dei Giubbonari to Piazza del Monte di Pietà. The second bedroom has two windows that overlook the inner courtyard of the building. Air conditioning in every room, television, WI-FI; the electric controls consist of light blue touch LEDs.
The main bathroom in antique yellow marble has a very comfortable shower (1.50 x 0.90 m); a marble sink that, like the others in the house, was created from a fountain that comes from the garden of one of the oldest Roman families. The bathroom of the second bedroom, with shower box, is smaller in size but not less attention to detail, also equipped with a hairdryer and a still functioning bronze cock of the '700. Via dei Giubbonari, which leads to the Campo dei Fiori square, is one of the busiest streets in the center and full of shops. This apartment, located a few meters from the ancient House of Pompey, is ideal for a fascinating exploration of the mysteries and wonders of the Eternal City. In the houses of ancient Rome, unlike today, the apartments on the ground and first floors were the most valuable, due to the greater security they offered in the then very frequent case of a fire: the wooden ceilings of this old apartment they are not very high (about 2.20 meters)

We had an amazing stay! The apartment was exactly as pictured—beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable. The beds and pillows were great, and everything felt clean and well cared for.The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of Rome and walking distance to all the major attractions. We felt very safe, even at night, with secure gated access and coded entry. There were plenty of delicious restaurants nearby, and getting dropped off and picked up by taxis was super easy.Our host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Rome!

This was a great stay for us and a good location. I did misread the 5-minute walk to the Colosseum however so that was disappointing (had I read further into the description I would have seen the actual walking time) but that was my fault. Very clear instructions from the host on how to access the apartment so that was great. Very clean, host was great for communication, it had everything we needed and we were very happy with our stay here! Great location for shops, food, cafes. Would definitely recommend.

We loved this apartment! It was centrally located, close enough to walk to the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. There are several restaurants very close as well as small markets for incidentals. The unit itself was beautiful with lovely Italian touches throughout. The beds were comfortable, sheets were in good condition, and towels were ample. Communication with our host was amazing - very quick to respond to any question we had. I would highly recommend this unit!

Great location and perfect home base to rest

Stayed at the flat for 5 nights. Great location - enjoyed going to the market in the morning, grabbing gelato in the evening and visiting Rome in the day. Central location to many of the sights and great communication with the owner. Had some confusion with the lights and Francesco came by and helped me out.

Very rustic apartment. Good air conditioning. Comfortable beds. Efficient and clean. Comfortable beds I would suggest shower at night for better water pressure. Close to all the great neighborhoods and attractions. Hard to get a taxi into the street. Suggest meeting drivers by the park area main avenue.
