The whole property, among other things, has been recently totally renewed! New floor, best comfort and brand new bathrooms! Located in the heart of Rome, just an easy five-minute walk from the magnificent surroundings of the Coliseum, you will find our large and newly developed property. The property consists of two adjacent apartments with two independent entrances but also communicating through an internal door (according with the privacy needed you can chose if keep the door locked). The property is on the ground floor of an antique and distinguished palace which can only be described as quiet and peaceful – with the benefit of a doorman at your service!
Some years ago, I had conceived of this idea to be able to offer two communicating apartments adjacent and united in the most splendid historical district of Rome just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Coliseum and Roman Forum. I am so pleased to be able to say that since 2009 we can offer it you! This large and spacious vacation home has been built to make everyone feel at home and yet still have the sense of being in a different city buzzing with culture and history.
However, what makes this property unique isn’t just its size or location, but also its accessibility. Since the property is located on the ground floor it is great for the elderly or physically challenged. More importantly it is wheelchair accessible, which is very rare in Rome.
The two real-estate portions, while having separate entrances, are located next to one another being only divided by a wall and connected by an internal door! Although, they both share access to the same Roman courtyard which has an antique and traditional look. In total the property is about 180 meters (2000 sq feet) in size and is equipped with a modern kitchen, high quality cookware, dining table (situated in the bigger portion, is extendable seating twelve), refrigerators with freezers, microwave, oven, high-quality steel cutlery, wine glasses, dishwasher, and even a washing machine.
Available for all of our guests a total of five bedrooms, two of which are accessible to those who are disabled, and one single bedroom(or according to your needs four double bedrooms and one triple), all equipped with lcd Tv, led lighting system, timed air extractors, air conditioning, high efficiency heating system with radiators and clean linen sheets and top-level comfortable and hypoallergenic mattresses for a good night’s sleep. At your disposal on your beds also hypoallergenic duvets of excellent italian quality.
Four bathrooms(one of which is large, 100% wheelchair accessible equipped with large flat shower, showerchair, grabrails) complete with toilets, sinks, four showers and environmentally-friendly gas boiler for hot water production. Also two modern sofa-beds are there and also available in the apartments a baby cot. All bedrooms and living rooms possess professional air conditioning system and timed air extractors, making it comfortable for all. Hygiene and cleanliness have always been of big importance to me and so I personally make sure that every room is immaculate
For your use would also be one living room with modern furniture designed in Italy. The room is equipped with an LCD TV, and even a well-stocked international library. You’ll also find LED lighting, timed air extractors, air-conditioning, heating system with radiators and most importantly WiFi.
As mentioned before there is a doorman located at the entrance of the property throughout the day and night who is able to provide assistance to guests as needed, accommodate daily reception, as well as ensuring security for the building. We pride ourselves in the peace of mind that this affords our guests – especially with the added benefit of being in such a historic district!
We invite families, couples, or groups to stay with us because between the two apartments we can accommodate up to 12 people. This unique location promises to make your stay both enjoyable and memorable. You won’t have to worry about transportation between two different metro (subway) stops, as well as bus stops, which are vary in distance from being right outside the building or a short walk through the neighborhood.
THE ENTIRE PROPERTY IS OFFICIALLY AUTHORIZED AND LICENSED BY THE MUNCIPALITY OF ROME AND PROVIDED WITH INSURANCE, ALL THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND HYGIENE STANDARDS
We really do hope that you will choose to stay at our property when you make your visit to the Eternal City. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Enjoy your stay with us, the staff of "Comfy at the Colosseum, your Vacation Home away from Home!

Interaction with guests: Hi there!
My name is Salvatore Rinaldi, born in Rome in 1974, i am a roman "doc".
I am a former cook/chef, i studied this "art" at the Italian Chef Academy of Rome where i received my certificate of "Chef/Cook" and i used to work in one of the most prestigious restaurant of Rome, "Il San Lorenzo" where i refined the art of italian, and roman in particular, cuisine.
This is why i would love to please my guests with my cuisine during their stay; carbonara pasta, amatriciana and more!
Let's make some clarity.
If what you want is a stay in a comfortable, authentic and genuine apartment in the heart of Rome, then you are booking the right place. But remember, we are not a hotel or a B&B.
We wanted to stay near the Colosseum and the location was perfect, very quiet yet only a short walk from restaurants and supermarket, as well as the Colosseo metro station. We were a group of 6, parents plus 3 grown up children plus a partner, so it was great that we all had a bedroom and a bathroom to ourselves.
Salvatore was very helpful - quick to reply to emails and provided a concierge service, which we did use once I’d worked out they were working together. Susanetta got tickets for us and checked us in and out. The apartment was comfortable (particularly the beds) and very clean. Kitchen area very good and we enjoyed the book selection!
One very minor quibble - the sofa wasn’t really big enough for all 6 of us, although we didn’t spend much time in the apartment in the evening.
And one thing to be aware of - a number of the bedrooms are interconnected and you have to go through them to get to the master bedroom. It wasn’t a problem for us as it was one of our single children in the middle room, but could be for some groups.
Overall then, five stars, and I would definitely stay here again.

Very Comfy!
The apartment was perfect for our family of nine ranging from four to 68 years young! Lots of space, great beds and plenty of bathrooms!! The room for the two youngsters was perfect!
Space to be alone and nice common area to gather together in a well equipped kitchen.
The owner and his assistant were very accommodating and right there for us as promised.
The location is great for sightseeing and transit.

Piso perfecto para familias grandes
Hemos estado en Roma mi familia compuesta de 11 personas y el alojamiento a sido perfecto . Pues disponíamos de camas cómodas y aseos suficientes para todos . La cocina muy amplia para poder estar todos y lo más importante y que valoramos mucho la limpieza que hay. Si tengo que poner alguna pega para poder mejorar aún más el alojamiento es que quizás algún aseo necesite alguna mejora . Y la ubicación perfecta ....en la salida del portal ya se observa el coliseo y andando enseguida llegas al centro apenas cogimos el metro. Sin duda....esperamos volver a roma y repetiremos el alojamiento. La atención de salvatore fue rápida ante un problemita que tuvimos que el enseguida solucionó .

Very accommodating central appartment, especially for wheelchair users
Excellent stay for three nights and our hosts were very accommodating, letting us leave our luggage before check in and again when we checked out. We loved being so close to all the amenities of central Rome too. We booked the accommodation for the disabled facilities and were very pleased that we had a disabled bathroom with all the equipment supplied. It was easy for the wheelchair to access the bedroom and main area too. Highly recommended if you require space and relaxation after a day in a very busy Rome!!

Great Stay at the Coliseum!
When staying in Rome I couldn't have asked for a better location, stepping out of the door to see the Coliseum every morning! Along with four other friends I stayed at the guest house for a few days and found it to be both welcoming and friendly, with any questions about the many local restaurants and sights answered promptly. The apartment itself was comfortable and more than amply sized to fit the needs of our party. The staff were approachable and gave a brilliant first impression of Rome, with their prior correspondence to arriving reassuringly informative! We found that any sight we wished to see was in a pleasant walking distance and would recommend it to any friends wanting to explore this great City!

Great for families
We were 2 families, total of 7. Also required disabled access. This was not a problem for entry or bathroom facilities. Well set up and in a great location just down the road from Colliseum. Apartment is on the ground floor. There are 4 bathrooms and a washing machine in 1 too.
Trams ran past front door to give further city access, with stores next door for the tickets, we did €1.50 for 100 mins to run the green line 1 end to the other. Big Bus just down road also. Very pleasant stay in this apartment, our host was very helpful.
Definitely recommend a stay here

Situation idéale
Logement spacieux, très bien équipé et surtout très bien situé (à 500m du Colisée), nous avons pu faire beaucoup de visites à pied, et lorsque le reste est situé + loin (Vatican), le métro est à 600m et la ligne de tram passe devant l'appartement. Nous avons passé un super week-end de 3j.

Here is where these apartments are located. 196It may be two thousand years old but the Colosseum is still the symbol of the eternal city, every year drawing thousands of visitors, meaning long queues and an endless wait.
In order to avoid the problem, a ticket may be purchased in advance through the tourist contact centre, by phoning 060608 or visiting the website www.pierreci.it.
…Or alternatively by buying one of two tourist cards: the “Roma Pass” which is valid for three days and entitles holders to free admission and no-queue entrance for the first two museums and to free travel throughout Rome, or the “Archeologia Card” which is valid for 7 days and allows free entry into each of the following sites: Palazzo Massimo, Palazzo Altemps, Crypta Balbi, Terme di Diocleziano (Baths of Diocletian), the Colosseum, the Palatine, Terme di Caracalla (Caracalla Baths), Villa dei Quintili, Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella.
In 54 B.C., Julius Caesar was the first to come up with another square, originally intended as merely a straightforward extension of the Republican Forum. Caesar’s Forum was followed by Augustus’, then the Transitional (built by the Emperor Domitian and inaugurated by the Emperor Nerva) and, finally, Trajan’s Forum, which is undoubtedly the grandest. Together, the archaeological sites make up, from an urban standpoint, an organic complex renamed in the modern era the “Imperial Forums”, reaching from Capitol Hill (Campidoglio) to the foot of the Quirinale Hill.
Between 1924 and 1932, the Imperial Forums resurfaced following the demolition of which had been over the centuries built on top so as to clear the way for today’s Via dei Fori Imperiali.
