What Oliver Loves
The neighbourhood of Trastevere over on the west bank of the Tiber is home to a plethora of narrow streets, artisanal shops, and a laid-back bohemian vibe.

Rome Holiday Home
Rome doesn’t try to impress – it simply gets on with being Rome. One moment you’re stopping for espresso; the next you’re standing in front of something thousands of years old. Everyday life and extraordinary history sit side by side, street corners stumble onto ancient wonders, masterpieces surface in churches and courtyards, and the food is always worth stopping for.
Our collection of holiday homes and apartments in Rome puts you right at the heart of the city, with carefully chosen bases that balance comfort, character and location. And if Rome is just the beginning, we also have a beautiful collection of villas across Italy, including family-friendly escapes and villas with private pools, perfect for pairing city time with a slower stay elsewhere.

Why visit Rome?
Rome is one of those rare cities that feels endlessly rich without ever feeling static. Ancient ruins sit alongside lively neighbourhoods, grand piazzas open onto everyday streets, and history is everywhere,
Yes, there are world-famous sights – the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Vatican City – but Rome is just as rewarding when you slow down. Long lunches, evening passeggiate, market mornings and neighbourhood cafés reveal a city that’s full of surprises. Add a thriving food scene and a flair for style, and it’s easy to see why Rome continues to captivate travellers of every kind.

Rome travel: Getting there and around
As they say, all roads lead to Rome, so the city is pretty easy to access. Over 10.5 million visitors make their way to the city each year, and although it is very walkable, cyclable and fairly flat, the city also has a convenient metro system and many, many taxis to get you about.
By plane
Rome is served by Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, both with straightforward train and bus links into the city. Flight time from the UK is around two hours.
By train
Rome Termini connects the capital to cities across Italy, making it easy to combine Rome with Florence, Naples or further afield.
Getting around
Rome is wonderfully walkable, and many of its highlights are best discovered on foot. The metro and buses are useful for longer journeys, while taxis are plentiful and often the simplest option. Driving in the city centre isn’t recommended due to restricted traffic zones.
