Top 7 Airbnbs in Rome, Italy Near Iconic Attractions

Come toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain, marvel at the somber but true history of the Colosseum, explore hundreds of historic churches and structures—Rome is a culturally-rich city that’s certainly bucket list-worthy. Seemingly around every corner is an establishment to enjoy rich gelato or a perfected cup of coffee, and pasta lovers will be in paradise—however, many other delicacies are native to Rome, like fried mozzarella balls, stuffed artichokes and cod. Want to further enrich your trip? Lodge like a local in one of the coolest Airbnbs in Rome.

Colosseum Dream Casa

Authentic details have this casa bursting at the seams—everywhere you look is another deeply thought out detail, from arched brick ceilings, colorful chandeliers, hand-carved marble, various tiling and centuries-old fountains and decor. The abode was redesigned with “the philosophy of the recovery of ancient materials”, so staying here is like a treasure hunt, historical lesson and vacation all in one. Chill on the veranda, use Roman pots and the host’s own recipes to cook up a meal, or traverse the nearby restaurants. The Colosseum is no more than a short walk away.

The Colosseum's View

First of all, the apartment is exactly 328 feet from the Colosseum. But the interior is super interesting, with a wooden platform sleeping loft area hovering over the actual living room. It looks like some sort of awesome fort, complete with a fireplace underneath! Bursts of colorful orange tile make a soak in the bathroom quite cheery, and the kitchen carries on the same uplifting visuals.

Touted as a livable sculpture, the home has coral-like walls with embedded mosaic tiling—it’s intriguingly breathtaking and an art lover’s dream.

Central Terraced

A large terrace overlooking the city is what sells this poshly decorated apartment. A patio living set offers extra seating for a group of friends to gather for wine and Italian eats. Two bedrooms with plush bedding, spa-like bathrooms and open, breathable living space with a small kitchen await inside. But you may just want to stay on the rooftop—forever.

Bright and Modern Loft of Art in Rome

While this loft apartment appears highly modern with its glass stairs, see-through catwalk and edgy decor, the theme goes far beneath the surface. Once the painting studio of Italian artist Italo Scelza, the property is an ode to his work, and to creativity in general. The architecture is captivating, and four guests can easily stay within this open, imaginative abode.

Opulent Loft near Spanish Steps & Trevi Fountain

Whimsical, ornate and accented with the most perfect colors, this Airbnb Plus is so very “Italy”. The host has filled the 1800s loft apartment with antique furniture to keep the classic Roman feel, but the iron spiral staircase is no doubt the star of the show. The multiple tiers of wooden nooks complete the space with an overall awesome visual appeal.
