About this property

Your HOME AWAY FROM HOME a stone's throw from the Coliseum. 2 bedrooms

"Il nido al Colosseo" is a charming flat located in a nineteen hundred mansion, in the heart of Rome.
Equipped with all modern comforts, easily reached from Rome Airports and Railway Stations, it is at walking distance to the metro, public transports and other facilities, making it an excellent starting point to visit Rome’s unique masterpieces of art and history
Perfect for families, romantic getaways or friends, it represents a perfect solution to make your stay in the Eternal City pleasant and relaxed.

Our attention to details and warm welcome will contribute to make your stay unforgettable
The flat consists of a large living/dining area with a fully fitted kitchen, two bedrooms (one double and one single – the latter with the possibility to add an extra bed to suit the need for a twin or a second double) and a bathroom with shower.
It is equipped with independent heating, washing machine, TV, fridge, oven, kettle and hair drier
To make your stay more enjoyable I have personally selected a range of information and useful addresses.
On your arrival you will be given useful tips, divided by touristic area, regarding: typical “trattorie”, restaurants, pizzerias, bars, ice cream shops, wine bar, etc., that, by our experience, can help in making your stay unforgettable.

From 2019, in the living room was installed a 12.000 BTU A/C device able to cool the whole apartment. In addition, in summer, you'll find electric an in every bedroom.

At your arrival you will find a food welcome kit (pasta, tomato sauce, oil, salt, sugar, coffee, tea, biscuits), so you will have time to organize yourself in the best way, in one of the close supermarkets. Also available in the hygienic products and detergents, as well as a kit for first aid.

You will be welcomed personally by me and I will provide all the necessary information even on public transport, the attractions of the neighborhood, the advice for pleasant walks in the city center. This way you can give your holiday a very customized impression and experience Rome

The apartment is 5 min walking from the metro station "Colosseo" (Line B) and a short walk from the bus stops that allow you to easily and quickly reach the main attractions and the most famous shopping areas.
The area is safe and is characterized by the presence of numerous green areas ideal for jogging and with playground. Among them: Villa Celimontana, Colle Oppio park and Terme di Caracalla area

Strolling around the ancient and suggestive borough Celio, you will be captured by some of the most important monuments and churches of Rome: Coliseum, Forum, S. Clemente, SS. Quattro Coronati or just relaxing in one of the many typical “osteria romanesca” where you will be able to taste the real roman cuisine, pizzerias, wine bars, pubs, ice cream shops.
Your stay will be even more comfortable due to the proximity of: underground, bus, green areas, parking, supermarkets, internet café, car/bike hire, bureau de change, etc

It is available on request, free of charge, a baby cot with linen children.

On request is available a transport service to / from the Fiumicino and Ciampino airports

The holiday house 'Il nido al Colosseo" is authorized by the Municipality of Rome: DIA No. 7324 of June 30, 2010 and SCIA No. QA / 2015/7440

Amazing Location Roman Apartment

I can’t say enough about the location of this lovely, well appointed apartment, it is unbelievably close to the Colosseum, and located in a safe, quaint neighbourhood. The neighbourhood has good restaurants, an amazing gelato shop and grocery store.

Location and little comforts

A lovely home base for exploring Rome, mere blocks from the Coliseum with restaurants, gelato, 24-hour market and more in this little neighborhood. Thoughtful comforts like fresh fruit and kitchen basics in a clean first-floor unit from friendly and informative hosts (great communication). Would stay again and recommend to friends!

Apartment near the Colosseum

This apartment is very well located near historical sites, restaurants, grocery store and taxis. Marco the host was great. He provided us with directions and information which made our trip more enjoyable. He also made arrangements for a driver to take us to the port.

Best location, best apartment

From check in to check out, Marco was amazing! The apartment is just two blocks from the colosseum and had everything, air conditioning, fans, plenty of towels, dishes, pans, utensils, toiletries, a full size refrigerator. The apartment is spacious and immaculately clean. The bed was very comfortable. Easy to walk to restaurants, grocery store and bus stops. Stunning view from the rooftop of the city and colosseum with the sun setting behind it. Highly recommend this apartment to future renters. Five stars aren’t high enough!

Great location, bus stop right outside, metro, grocery store and colosseum just a few mins away. Marco was a wonderful host, answering all my questions before and during the stay and providing lots of useful information. We even had a cooking class in the apartment with his chef friend, learning to cook Italian style. It was one of the highlights of our stay!

Perfect

This property was perfect for us. Cleanliness and readiness was exceptional. Communication with host Marco could not have been any better and he went above and beyond to assist us in our first trip to Rome. I would highly recommend this property. Availability of air conditioning was a great benefit on this trip as we coincided with quite an extreme heat wave.

Rome Visit

We had a short few days in Rome and found this cute little place. It was super convenient to the Colosseum and other sites. Marco, our host, was so helpful and even helped us get a taxi the day we left. We were a little disappointed with the lack of views. It was a ground floor apartment. We didn’t stay inside much so that wasn’t a huge issue. I would definitely recommend Marco as your Rome host.

Great Host!

Our 1st time at a VRBO was fantastic. The host, Marco, organized our airport-to-apartment transportation, checked us in, provided details about the apartment, and even gave us a map highlighting key attractions in the area. I accidentally locked myself out of the apartment on New Year's Eve at 8 o'clock at night, leaving my family stranded. Marco generously traveled 30 minutes each way to let us back in, and he didn't charge us for the assistance. Our time in Rome was truly delightful. We loved the apartment's location and, in particular, cherished the personal touch of renting someone's place—adding to our overall experience.

A week in Roma

We have been to Rome several times but this time we brought our two grandsons, ages 15 and 12 for their first trip abroad. The apartment was wonderful. My husband had sprained his knee before we left and was using a can so luckily there were only 3 stairs before entering the apartment. It was perfect for the 4 of us and had everything we needed. It was extremely clean and very comfortable We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to friends. It is close to everything and the #81 bus stops just at the end of the block and we were able to get around Rome very well from there. We could not have wished for more.

Fantastic in Every Way

Wonderful apartment in the heart of Rome. 2 blocks from the coliseum. On the non touristy side of the coliseum. Easy to find delicious affordable restaurants. Safe little neighborhood. Marco was extremely responsive right from the first email. From the reservation to the checkin and check out. We were there for 4 days and he checked in a couple of times to see if we needed anything. Unit had two nice bedrooms and a sitting room. Kitchen has everything you need. Nice shower and washing machine. Pictures shown are accurate. Marco was the perfect host. He met us on arrival and check out, explained the keys, gas stove, washing machine and getting around the neighbourhood. Marco allowed us to drop our luggage earlier than checkin so we could get to a tour on time. Marco arranged a driver from the port and then to the airport for us. Giovanni the driver was on time and a fair rate. (Transport can be tricky) He has a binder in the suite, that explains getting around by bus, metro, restaurants, grocery etc. We quickly found our favorite pizza/ focaccia by the slice spot, gelato, cafes and restaurants in no time. Pizza by the slice at Pizzería di Sforza Piero €2.50 per person Naumachia Risorante had delicious Handmade Lasagna at €8.00 Espresso’s €2.00-3.00 Marco left us a bowl of fresh fruit upon arrival. It was so unexpected, delicious and appreciated. The local oranges are fantastic! When back in Rome we will certainly look forward to staying there again!

JUST WONDERFULL

This was our first time using a holiday rental instead of the usual hotels etc. I would like to thank Marco for being so helpfull from the begining allowing us not to worry. He kindly helped us with a letter of accomodation for my wife's Italian visa. With suggestions and hints from the begining about the weather, sites etc. He was quick with email queries even though sometimes i think we bothered him too much. So firstly Marco thankyou from me and my wife for being such a gracious and helpfull host. As to the apartment, the smile on my wife's face was all that i needed to know that i made a great choice. It is great for a couple and can easily accomodate a family of four if need be. It was clean and well stocked with towels etc. The kitchen area and dinning/living area my wife loved and had more then enough space. We never felt cramped there. Shower and W/C area was lager then we expected as was the master bedroom, the second room we had no use of but with another single bed can accomodate two people. The whole apartment was lager then we expected from the pictures. The location is excellent. We could easily reach where we wanted to go using both bus and metro or even walking as the location is situated close to many of Rome's important sites. The neighbourhood is lovely and quiet with nice parks nearby. There are two supermakets close by so no worries there and offcourse the usual newsagent, cafes and restuarents. Though there is a bar/pub opposite the bedrooms it never really bothered us at night. The location was perfect and because of it we enjoyed Rome even more. If my wife and I ever go back to Rome we shall definitely look to see if this apartment is free first. Thankyou Marco and as one of my illustrious ancestor said and i repeat about Rome "Veni, vidi, vici" :)

Emplacement idéal pour un agréable séjour

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans l’appartement de Marco. L’emplacement est idéal, proche du Colisee, des lignes de bus et de metro et de toutes commodités. Marco a été très disponible et très réactif quand nous avons eu besoin de lui, nous avons beaucoup apprécié. Mettre du double vitrage dans la 2ème chambre serait un plus. Marco, merci encore pour tout.

Thanks to Marco and Antonella for renting us this apartment! This truly was our home away from home. It had everything we ever needed for our week's stay. The location was convenient. Close to the metro, buses, and there is a taxi stand around the corner. We are hoping to return soon, as we did throw a few coins in the Trevi. When we do, we will definitely stay at Il Nido al Coloseo.

Siamo stati a Roma per portare le nostre ragazze al concerto dei Måneskin , l’appartamento a pian terreno pulitissimo e con tutti i confort, vicinissimo al Colosseo abbiamo raggiunto a piedi tutti i posti che abbiamo visitato ed anche il circo Massimo dove si è tenuto il concerto. Vicino casa ci sono diversi posti dove mangiare, anche un posticino dove abbiamo mangiato dei panini gourmet buonissimi. Marco, il proprietario, disponibilissimo ci ha dato tutte le informazioni di cui avevamo bisogno per spostarci e ci ha consigliato diversi posti da vedere.

Fabulous stay in a lovely apartment and great location

We had a fantastic stay in Rome. The apartment was perfect, and although very near the Colosseum still in an area that had its own character and was quiet (apart from very occasional late night noise from the Camden Town pub!). Everything was so convenient with shops and restaurants close by. But what made it extra special was the attention to detail from Marco the owner of the apartment. He was so helpful before we arrived - helping us to find a birthday semi-freddo cake for our daughter's 18th as well as sending through useful information about what to see and how to get to the apartment. The information in the apartment was so helpful - we tried three of the restaurant recommendations and they were all great plus we did the 2km walk around the area seeing the beautiful church of St Clemente, the Quattro Coranati convent and many other sights. We walked everywhere - a highlight was walking to St. Peters and arriving at 8.30 in the glorious sunshine, as well as appreciating the Colosseum at all times of the day and going up to the rooftop terrace at night for the view. I can highly recommend the Il Nido, and thank Marco for all his kindness and attention, and would definitely return.

We had a wonderful time in tbe apartment. It is in a great neighborhood near some wonderful places. The cafe right at the corner was great for breakfast in the morning there were several good restaurants close by and a terrific gelato place at the end of the street.
