About this property

At the Coliseum, ExtraLarge Vacation Home Away from Home, in the centre of Rome

Not just a "plus", for us your health and safety are a "must".
We certify that on check out the sanitization of each room, surfaces and machinary is carried out with a sanifitizing product based on hydrogen peroxide (biocidal activity).
All the rooms have recently been equipped with a brand new, efficient and high-performing Daikin air conditioning system. The whole property, among other things, has been recently totally renewed! New floor, best comfort and brand new bathrooms.
Established in 2009 and located in the heart of Rome, just an easy five-minute walk from the magnificent surroundings of the Coliseum, you will find our large and newly developed property. The property, consists of two portions of the same apartment with two independent entrances but also communicating through an internal door (according with the privacy needed you can chose if keep the door locked). Watch the video between the pictures! The property is on the ground floor of an antique and distinguished palace which can only be described as quiet and peaceful – with the benefit of a doorman at your service!
Some years ago, I had conceived of this idea to be able to offer two communicating apartments adjacent and united in the most splendid historical district of Rome just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Coliseum and Roman Forum. I am so pleased to be able to say that now we can offer it you! This large and spacious vacation home has been built to make everyone feel at home and yet still have the sense of being in a different city buzzing with culture and history.
However, what makes this property unique isn’t just its size or location, but also its accessibility. Since the property is located on the ground floor it is great for the elderly or physically challenged. More importantly it is wheelchair accessible, which is very rare in Rome.
The two real-estate portions, while having separate entrances, are located next to one another being only divided by a wall and connected by an internal door! Although, they both share access to the same Roman courtyard which has an antique and traditional look. In total the property is about 180 meters (2000 square feet) in size and is equipped with a modern kitchen, high quality cookware, dining table (it is situated in the bigger portion, is extendable seating twelve), refrigerator with freezer, microwave, oven, high-quality steel cutlery, wine glasses, dishwasher, and even a washing machine.
Available for all of our guests a total of five bedrooms, two of which are accessible to those who are disabled, and one single bedroom(or according to your needs four double bedrooms and one triple), all equipped with lcd Tv, led lighting system, timed air extractors, air conditioning, high efficiency heating system with radiators and clean linen sheets and top-level comfortable and hypoallergenic mattresses for a good night’s sleep. At your disposal on your beds also hypoallergenic duvets of excellent italian quality.
Four bathrooms(one of which is large, 100% wheelchair accessible equipped with large flat shower, showerchair, grabrails) complete with toilets, sinks, four showers and environmentally-friendly gas boiler for hot water production. Also two modern sofa-beds are there and also available in the apartment a baby cot. All bedrooms and living rooms possess professional air conditioning system and timed air extractors, making it comfortable for all. Hygiene and cleanliness have always been of big importance to me and so I personally make sure that every room is immaculate
For your use would also be one living room with modern furniture designed in Italy. The room is equipped with an LCD TV, and even a well-stocked international library. You’ll also find LED lighting, timed air extractors, air-conditioning, heating system with radiators and most importantly WiFi.
As mentioned before there is a doorman located at the entrance of the property throughout the day and night who is able to provide assistance to guests as needed, accommodate daily reception, as well as ensuring security for the building. We pride ourselves in the peace of mind that this affords our guests – especially with the added benefit of being in such a historic district!
We invite families, couples, or groups to stay with us because between the two united portions we can accommodate up to 12 people. This unique location promises to make your stay both enjoyable and memorable. You won’t have to worry about transportation between two different metro (subway) stops, as well as bus stops, which are vary in distance from being right outside the building or a short walk through the neighborhood.
THE ENTIRE PROPERTY IS OFFICIALLY AUTHORIZED AND LICENSED BY THE MUNCIPALITY OF ROME AND PROVIDED WITH INSURANCE, ALL THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND HYGIENE STANDARDS
We really do hope that you will choose to stay at our property when you make your visit to the Eternal City. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Enjoy your stay with us, the staff of "Comfy at the Coliseum", Your Vacation Home away from Home.
Let's make some clarity.
If what you want is a stay in a comfortable, authentic and genuine apartment in the heart of Rome, then you are booking the right place. But remember, we are not a hotel or a B&B and we cannot provide ancillary services other than those permitted by the municipal regulation! So, if your expectations are to stay in a luxury location with assistance, check in unplanned in advance, services on request and hotel treatment, we would be so sorry to disappoint you that we recommend the grand hotel on the corner! :-)

Great location but needs a little tlc
The location was great. You should be aware that three of the bedrooms are only accessible through the first bedroom. You must pass through the bedrooms to get to the next room. There are no paper towels or even cloth towels provided for simple cleanup and hand drying in the kitchen. That would have been helpful. The couch had a liquid stain of some sort. Given the good location we would stay here again but the place just needs a little tlc.

Location was great
My family of 11 loved the location so close to the colosseum that you could see it to the left of the front door. There were adequate sleeping rooms and 4 bathrooms. The kitchen was a regular home’s kitchen- very useable. The two issues we struggled with a damp bedroom wing where air did not circulate well and a bad odor from the shower drain in that same wing. Fix these issues and the housing would be very pleasant and functional.

Convenient and comfortable
Excellent apartment. It was more than big enough for the size of our group--10 people--and close to the Colosseum, the Forum, the bus system, and the subway. Good coffee bar and restaurants nearby. Ilaria was on time to meet us and very helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

Amazing apartment in a great location
Everything about this stay was fantastic. We had a group of 11 (4 adults, 7 kids) and this apartment fit us with plenty of room. The check in process with Susanna was super easy and she went out of her way to meet us even after several delays and arriving 4 hours later than we expected. The location is incredible, a short walk to the Colossuem and walkable to Termini Station. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place for a big family.
We travelled to Rome as the first stop in a big family vacation. We were 9 adults. The property was just a couple of blocks from the Colloseum. It had ample beds and four bathrooms. The check in process was excellent and Sara was helpful with local suggestions. It was a beautiful space that served our large family well.

Very lovely home! Location - you could see and walk the short distance. Family of 9 adults and we all had a bed! Suggest having coded locks so everyone could come go out of the apt and not depend of someone meeting back at the place to let you in.

Ideal location
Overall this location was great for our party of 8. The apartment is ideal for families and those with physical disabilities or limitations. The owner and his staff were accomodating and very easy to work with. Property was clean and well maintained. Some limitations to note were the spotty wifi and the persistent sewer odors.

Good location and price but moldy
The location is close to the colosseum and walking distance to Metro. The rooms are as listed, but it should be known that you have to walk through two bedrooms to get to and from the 3rd bedroom. It's ok if everyone is going to bed and waking up at the same time but wouldn't work otherwise. The apartment is very musty and smells bad. We got air fresheners and it helped with the smell but there is mold everywhere. My daughter has a mold allergy so she had severe hives immediately, so if anyone has any sensitivity to mold it's not a good place to stay. It was gross.

Excellent location
We stayed at this property pre-cruise for a few days in June. We were a large group and the accommodations suited us perfectly. You camp ask for a more perfect location to visit the Collessum and the surrounding areas. We walked to great pizza places and other restaurants in the area. Small convenient store right next door where we were able to purchase incidentals. Close to the taxi station as well as the Metro. Prefect for our needs! And the teens loved that they had wifi!

Close to Colosseum
The best thing about this property was its location to the Colosseum and public transportation. We also appreciated the air conditioning in each room and the number of bathrooms. The towels and bed linens were clean. We found the kitchen to be missing basics like sponge, dish soap, and paper towels. Four of the bedrooms are not private as you must walk through them all to get to the last one in the line. This wasn’t too big of deal for us as we were expecting that to be the case. Our chief complaint was the smell. The mildew that was growing on all the walls in the bathroom can not be safe. All four bathrooms could do with a good layer of bleach!!

We enjoyed 2 days at this property. Communication with Salvatore was always fast and efficient. Check in with Ilaria was also extremely efficient, she even helped to arrange our departure transportation to the airport for us. We had plenty of room for all 12 people (6 adults and 6 kids).

We were a group of 10 that stayed in the apartment. It was very comfortable, clean and the owner is very responsive. Check-in went smoothly. The Coliseum is within walking distance. A tram stop is located in front of the property which we took to the Metro to go to the Vatican. Very easy. The tram was free, only paid for the Metro 1.50 E.

Five women stayed and LOVED this place. We each had a bedroom, which was phenomenal. We were close to a number of shops with pastries, coffee, groceries and walking distance to great restaurants. We walked to our tour of the Coliseum and Forum and at at a restaurant right across from the Coliseum in the evening. It was perfect for us. Salvatore was attentive to our needs and responded to all our requests for information. Highly recommend.

Big apartment right near the colisseum
Great location, and hosts could not have been more helpful and communicative. Woman who met us at the apartment was even nice enough to arrange for a car to take all 10 of to the airport the next morning. Apt. is nice and big for a big family. Just remember, as many have noted, that 3 of the bedrooms are adjoining. You need to walk through to get to the bathroom and to the living room.

About the host

Hosted by Salvatore

Host profile image
Hi there!
My name is Salvatore Rinaldi, born in Rome in 1974, i am a roman "doc".
I am a former cook/chef, i studied this "art" at the Italian Chef Academy of Rome where i received my certificate of "Chef/Cook" and i used to work in one of the most prestigious restaurant of Rome, "Il San Lorenzo" where i refined the art of italian, and roman in particular, cuisine.
This is why i would love to please my guests with my cuisine during their stay; carbonara pasta, amatriciana, the famous "cacio & pepe" (cheese and pepper)..and then hand made bread, pizza, focaccia..and then cheese, fish and the best wine to accompany their dinner..
So please do not hesitate to contact me whether you wish to have a cook at home while you here!
I am married and a proud dad of two wonderful girls and since i was young i had a passion for jewels, old coins and precious stones and minerals so i completed my studies at the International Gemological Institute of Antwerp where i received my certificate of Gemologist. My two girls were the reason of the choice i made several years ago: i left the restaurant where i used to work and i started my new career as forensic gemologist and numismatic at the Court Criminal Division of Rome, where i work as a consultant expert.

Why they chose this property

Finally in 2009 i inaugurated "Comfy at the Coliseum", your vacation home away from home, in the centre of Rome where i will be happy to accommodate you all with my professionalism and my vocation for hospitality, with an eye for disability and accessibility of spaces, in order to give everybody the possibility to enjoy their stay and the beauty and history of the Eternal City because my motto is: "The right to enjoy Rome belongs to everybody".
