COLISEUM TERRACE APOLLO

About this listing

Set within a Baroque 17 th century building in in the charming Monti district, our Colosseum Apollo Terrace is rich in history and will transport you to another era. And set just a 10-minute stroll from the Colosseum, it’s close to major sites while still serving as a relaxing home where you can unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Pope VI spent time on the property and the outdoor courtyard served as a workshop for the Vatican Museum to restore its priceless marble statues in the 1800s. Now owned by an esteemed scientist with a passion for the arts, the Apollo Terrace is full of fascinating objects including 16th century “ginocchiatoio” and shelves upon shelves of books.

The wooden beams ceilings are painted by hand featuring ornamental vegetal motifs and were recently restored to help maintain the historic details of the home. You’ll find 17 th century paintings on the walls and balconies that let the Roman sunshine flood into the apartment. With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a sofa-bed in the living room, the property can comfortably sleep up to 8 people. You’ll also have access to a beautiful garden terrace that looks out onto the rooftops of Rome: dine al fresco as the sun sets or enjoy your morning breakfast surrounded by fragrant orange trees in the morning.

Book this apartment together with its sister apartment, the Daphne Terrace, to sleep 13 people total as part of the Colosseum Terrace Residence, a great solution for family reunions, celebrations or a group of friends celebrating a special event.
