Living In Italy's Capital

An open museum to most, but when you co-own property in Rome, you’ll unveil even more of its beauty and charm. From the Colosseum to the Pantheon, the Eternal City is a playground for anyone with a penchant for Italian history and culture. The monuments here are awe-inspiring and immortalised in film yet accessible to explore by foot. Begin the day with a macchiato, and throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain before traversing the Spanish Steps and seeking out cacio pepe in a quaint trattoria – it’s time to begin your Roman stay. The centre is divided into 22 'rioni' and with Pied À Terre and Grand Pied À Terre apartments perfectly placed in the centre, Homeowners will be at the heart of the action…

Travelling To Rome

There are two airports in Rome with the main Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Fiumicino (FCO) that is 40 minutes to Roma Termini train station, with international flight connections from all major cities around the world. Getting to the city centre, including Monti where some of August Pied À Terre apartments live is simple with express trains and buses that go direct from the airport.

‍Culture In Rome

The birthplace of the most influential and advanced civilisations - Rome is the perfect mix of historic and modern culture where you can dive into the world of art, classical architecture and history. Whether you visit one of the 900 + churches to seek out sublime frescoes, have aperitivo at La Casetta a Monti (where you will find the best negronis), or book a night at the opera, there are plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in Rome’s splendour.

Classical Roman Architecture

Rome boasts a rich tapestry of architectural styles; from the high renaissance columns of the The Sistine Chapel to the classical domes that adorn the city’s most iconic buildings. Visit the Pantheon, St. Peter's Basilica and beyond to indulge in beautiful proportions, calming symmetry and more in the way of unique Byzantine influence. Alongside a day exploring the Vatican City, pay a visit to the Castel Sant'Angelo fortress for more history and sweeping views across the city. It is not to be missed.

‍‍Eating In Rome

Food is an important part of the culture in Italy and especially in Rome, you will be spoilt for choice with trattorias brimming with local specialities and modern takes on classic dishes. The cacio e pepe is must-try, and no day really is complete without gelato. Be sure to read our guide to the best local restaurants in Monti and beyond.

When To Go

If you prefer milder, more comfortable temperatures and avoiding crowds of summer tourists, the best time to go is between October to April. Summer has a long stretch in Rome – from May to September – and is characterised by sweltering temperatures. Autumn is another nice shoulder season with mild temperatures but do bring a coat.
