About this property

Get the local feel in a nice and safe neighborhood in the heart of Rome!

CasaLilli is a place where you can feel the security and warmth of home. We are an English-speaking family, making it easy to communicate your wants and needs.

It has a modern and very spacious living/dining room with a sofa bed that can comfortably sleep two, satellite TV, DVD player, and a stereo CD player. There are two tastefully appointed bathrooms, one with a bathtub, and the other with a shower and a hair dryer. The master bedroom, furnished with antique furniture, has a decidedly romantic feel. The other bedroom, with twin beds and a study, is comfortable and contemporary. Both bedrooms are air-conditioned.

The kitchen is completely equipped with a mini oven, a four burner gas range with oven, fridge, Nespresso coffee maker, blender, toaster, plus all the necessary cooking utensils. It leads to a terrace where you can enjoy your meals al fresco. A washing machine and flat iron complete the list of amenities.

CasaLilli is within walking distance from the sites of Ancient Rome - the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Trajan Market, and Circus Maximus. Just around the corner, and not to be missed, is the Basilica of San Clemente, a structure of three churches built one on top of the other during three different eras, thus condensing 2000 years of Christian history. The Domus Aurea, better known as the Golden House of Nero, is just a couple of blocks away. It was from here that the famous Emperor watched while Rome burned.

The Villa Celimontana, the venue for the annual summer Jazz and Image Festival, is just a 3-minute walk from CasaLilli. This is a beautiful park where you can go jogging, have picnics, or simply enjoy an afternoon stroll.

CasaLilli is surrounded by local pubs, pizzerias, restaurants, and all the conveniences of modern living, such as a beauty parlor, pharmacy, groceries, coffee shop, laundry shop, internet point, gelateria, shoe repair shop and flower shop, to name just a few.

Start and end your day with the warmth and comfort of CasaLilli. let it be your Home in Rome.

Looking forward to giving you a warm welcome to Rome and to CasaLilli.

Your host,
Marmi, Francesca Alessandro and Gianpaolo

Lovely Stay
I took my son to Rome for his 18th bday in March. I didn't want to stay in a hotel for a variety of reasons, but one being price. The second, we wanted to have a kitchen and the experience of living like a local. We found the apt safe, large, and providing all we needed. I stayed in spring and used the heat a couple times. I was able to store my luggage in the AM until the 2pm check in time. I did have to use google translate to communicate with the checkin lady. The apartment is spacious and in a location near restaurants and the Colosseum. If you want piazza life, then stay elsewhere. Coffee nearby: Cafe Antica Roma. Excellent cappuccinos and pastries. Order your coffee and food, then pay. Gelato nearby: We preferred to walk further for gelato at Il di Constanza vs at the end of the street. You will walk a ton to see things other than the Colosseum. We opted to do Uber (selecting the taxi option), to see various areas because the 30-40 min walks were a but much after so many days. We selected the host's option for an airport transfer. Was efficient but a bit pricey compared to Uber's.

Overall the property was great for our 2 couples. The apartment is on a quiet street, but just a few blocks from the Colosseum, which was great. We had a hickup with the guided tour booked by the host, but she rectified the issue to everyone's satisfaction. Would stay here again for sure. Ciao clean which is

So close to the Colosseum!
Marmi's home was perfect for our group of 4. Her home was quaint and tidy. It had everything we needed for our stay. It was conveniently located just a 3 minute walk from the Colosseum and within a 25 minute walk to Trevi fountain, Roman Forum, and many other amazing sites. Marmi made the check-in/out process smooth and easy. She also helped us book private tours that were great. Thank You Marmi. If we ever travel back to Rome we will stay with you again.

Lovely apartment near the Colosseum
The apartment is in a great location near several restaurants and a short walk to the Colosseum. The building is older and not in great condition but the apartment was very nice. Definitely old world charm but with very comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. Our host was very responsive and we would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay.

Great Location in Rome
The apartment is only a few blocks from the Colosseum yet it is located on a street that is relatively quiet. It was a great launching point for our days in Rome. Marmi, the host, arranged for a car from the train station and greeted us upon arrival at the apartment. She is very personable and was very responsive to any questions we had (both while we were there and in advance of our stay). The pictures of the apartment in the listing give you a good idea of the apartment. There is also a patio that gives you an outdoor space. It's a great spot in Rome to stay. The only issue we had was that an adjacent apartment was undergoing a rehab so there was construction noise on the weekdays, but we weren't at the apartment much in the daytime anyway. You might want to check with Marmi on the status of that if you're planning to stay sometime soon. We highly recommend this apartment and thank Marmi for being such a good host.

Excellent stay in Rome
Marmi is an excellent host. Location was great. The tour she arranged for us to go to the Vatican was superb. Our guide was excellent and well worth the money. Things to consider- the property only has AC in the bedrooms so we had to put a fan in the door to spread some of the cold air into the living room. Second- the clothes washer was broken from a previous tenant. I washed a few things in the sink and hung them to dry on the back porch. Remember to pack comfortable shoes! We averaged five miles a day walking this beautiful city!

About the host

Hosted by Marmi Fuentebella

Host profile image
My name is Maria Milagros, but everyone calls me Marmi. Originally from the Philippines, I came to Rome in 1979 after graduating from college. Like many dreamers, I tossed more than a few coins into the Trevi Fountain, hoping to return—and here I am, over 40 years later, still living in this beautiful city!

Rome continues to enchant me just as it did the first time I arrived, and I’m so grateful that I now have the opportunity to share its magic with my guests. Traveling is one of my greatest passions, and I’ve been lucky enough to explore many parts of the world. But it’s hosting in Rome that brings me the most joy—welcoming people from all walks of life and helping them make the most of their stay.

As your host, I’m here to ensure your visit is easy and enjoyable. Whether you need assistance with private transfers, personalized tours, or insider tips on the best events and hidden gems in the city, I’m always happy to help. CasaLilli has been designed to offer the comfort of home, wrapped in the charm of the Italian ‘Dolce Vita.’

I look forward to welcoming you to Rome and making your stay truly unforgettable!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family for generations, originally belonging to my husband’s grand-aunt before being passed down to us. What I love most about this neighborhood is its rich history and vibrant atmosphere. You can step right out of the front door and walk directly to the iconic Colosseum, where emperors once ruled the arena—it’s a breathtaking experience every time.

One of the best things about this area is its proximity to many of Rome’s most famous sites. You’re within walking distance of landmarks like the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Basilica of San Giovanni, all while being just far enough from the city’s chaos to enjoy a more relaxed, local atmosphere. It truly feels like the heart of Rome, but with a peaceful charm that allows you to experience the authentic side of the city.

This neighborhood offers a delightful blend of ancient history and modern life. It’s very safe, perfect for leisurely strolls through streets lined with beautiful architecture. You can also escape to Villa Celimontana, a hidden gem of a park where locals unwind in nature. The area is filled with charming shops, authentic Roman trattorias, open-air markets, and lively wine bars, offering both day and night experiences.

Well-connected yet peaceful, this neighborhood is the perfect balance between history and modernity, allowing you to live like a local while being surrounded by the best Rome has to offer.

What makes this property unique

From the apartment one easily reaches the main Ancient Roman sites such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill, Basilica San Clemente, and the Golden House of Nero just to name a few. There are banks, groceries, restaurants, pizzerias, pubs, coffee shops, laundromat, market, pharmacy and parks all within walking distance from Casa Lilli. The metro, bus stop and taxi stands are just 3 to 5 minutes walk. I chose the location to give our visitors the possibility to step out of the front door and walk straight to the Colosseum where the emperors once dominated the arena.
The neighborhood is great and safe surrounded by parks and yet CasaLilli is on a very quiet street!
I'll be very glad to help you with tours and transfers to make your stay easy and comfortable.
I hope to have the pleasure to welcome you to Rome and to CasaLilli.
