A truly one of a kind home in Rome’s historic Navona neighbourhood, this colourful apartment is full of fun details that we fell in love with. Housed in a 19th-century building just a four-minute walk from Piazza Navona, you’ll feel like you’ve just stepped into a rainbow from the moment you enter. A bright green hallway leads you into a yellow-hued kitchen and dining space, where a table and chairs invite you to enjoy the breakfast provided and sip your morning coffee in style. Head into the bedroom to be struck by lavender-coloured brick walls and funky wall art that gives the space plenty of contemporary flair. This modern vibe is juxtaposed beautifully with the home’s original features, like the beamed ceilings and the pair of cubby windows giving way to views of the medieval Via del Governo Vecchio below. When you’re not relaxing on the sofa and antique chairs, admiring the decorative curiosities (our favourite is the old Singer sewing machine) or doing your best Juliet impression from the windows, go out to explore the many sights within easy reach on foot. Wander over to Piazza Navona for an espresso and people watching, make a wish at the Trevi Fountain (a fifteen-minute walk away), gaze up at the Colosseum (thirty minutes away) and explore the Vatican (a twenty-five-minute stroll from your door). Home truths: *Unfortunately, this home is not suitable for children or infants *This home is on the second floor of a building that has a lift *As is quite common in Rome, the communal bins are inside the building *Slightly strangely, the bathroom has two toilets in it, separated by a sliding door *The host provides a breakfast here *Most of the flat doesn't get much natural light *There's a sofa bed in the bedroom that can be used if two guests do not wish to share the bed
