We're told it's a challenge to find a room in Rome without mind numbing noise. But our hideaway apartment in Monti (NYT article about Monti) is silent. Silent. It's a 10 minute walk to the Colosseum. Good restaurants, specialty food, and wine shops are just down the street. It's a gem.
We're staying in one of a few apartments above an ancient Roman palace - built in the 1st century before Christ(!). We pass from the street, through arched wooden doors, to an open-sky courtyard and the front door of our apartment.
The shower is complete with a fellow to judge whether we've been doing our sit-ups. (we haven't)
Daydreaming of your hideaway in Rome? Perhaps you can make one of these delicious Italian dishes to eat while you plan your trip.
Looks nice even down to the Japanese style bathtub!
And a jetted tub at that!
How amazing! Sounds like you certainly found a gem! Sounds like the location is absolutely fabulous too!
