About this property

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

Refined and quiet apartment on the first floor, in the historic Via dei Giubbonari, right in the middle of the walkway between Colosseum and the Vatican. 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. It consists of two bedrooms, each one 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. Air conditioning in every room. For long stays (over 10 days), we can provide a washer machine if required. 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)

The apartment is in a great location with shops and restaurants literally right outside the entrance to the building. Also, perfect for walking or taking a taxi to visit sites in Rome. Checking in and out were very convenient. Though we arrived very early prior to check-in the host informed us of a luggage holding company within close walking distance to the property and that was critical. I was really happy with the luggage holding company location, the ease of dropping the luggage off, and the price. It made our waiting time for check-in very relaxed. We had coffee and croissants right around the corner and just sat and took it all in. We actually checked in a little early and getting into the apartment was a fast and smooth movement - nothing like trying to check into a hotel. I really appreciated that touch. Check-out was equally as smooth. We just packed and walked down the stairs to a taxi. Lastly, we enjoyed the apartment with the two bedrooms and bathrooms, the location near shops and restaurants, and the friendliness of the local cafe staff.

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.

Great location in the heart of Rome

Can’t beat the location. Walk to most attractions. Area does get congested and pick up/drop off was a bit challenging when deliveries and vendors were setting up. The main bedroom is great with a comfortable bed and spacious shower. The 2nd shower is tight but adequate. 2nd bedroom Quiet & dark room for Good sleeping. Would recommend!

Great Security and 3 spacious rooms

Accomodation and rooms were comfortable enough. I did however ask for the sheets to be washed without fragrance's due to my allergies but unfortunately the request wasn't met so my stay wasn't very comfortable. Other then that the location is good and has what you need for a short stay. Communication getting into the apartment was good. Take earplugs as the doors are very heavy and when other apartments shut there doors from the stairwell there is a loud slam.

What a wonderful apt

We had such a fantastic stay in Rome! The apartment was in the perfect location—so central that we could walk to all the major sights without needing transportation. The space was incredibly clean and had these lovely historical details that gave it a really special character. We also had a great time exploring the neighborhood, which was full of amazing restaurants and fun boutiques just steps away. The hosts were wonderful—very welcoming and super responsive. We’d absolutely stay here again.
