Loft Colosseum Apt. “A” The “Ground Studio”
Description and Location
Enjoy a charming and large loft at a much lower price than a hotel, in the very heart of the historical centre of Rome's Colosseum neighborhood, in one of the most characteristic street of “Rione” Monte-Colosseo. Originally the apartment was used as stables for horses until the 18^th century, than it became a carpenter's lab until 1965. Since then it was a wine shop and finally a painter’s home for 20 years.
The Grand Studio loft is almost 100 square meters large (approx. 1000 square feet) with a large intermediate floor (with a bathroom) and a large living area with a fully furnished kitchen and another bathroom with shower. It has been recently completely renovated to make you feel at home, preserving its 6 meters high vaulted ceiling.
Attractions & Activities
You can forget your car: the place is only a 5 minute walk from the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Maximum Circus; 15 minutes from the Spanish Steps, Trevi’s Fountain, and "La Dolce Vita" in Via Veneto. Subway Stop CAVOUR is only 300 meters away and will connect you to the rest of the City. Vatican is only 15 minutes by bus. The apartment is located in a small cobbled street only 6 meters wide, in the most ancient part of Rome, just behind the Roman Forum. The area is mainly residential, and is home to many very interesting restaurants and trattoria, along with a wide variety of antique restorers and various crafts. The area is home to many famous artists (esp. writers, movie stars and directors). Most famous (internationally) is film-director Mario Monicelli ("The Great War", "The Girl with A Pistol", "High Infidelity", "The Unfaithful", "The Passionate Thief"). Transport in and out of the area is very simple as 100 meters away is an underground station and a short walk to the Forum area takes you into the centre of the city.
