THE HOUSE OF THE MARBLES, a 5 minute walk to the Colosseum and the Vatican

Refined and curated apartment on the first floor, in the historic Via dei Giubbonari, right in the middle of the walkway between Colosseum and Piazza San Pietro. Ancient marbles that belonged to the Roman princes, parts of the walls from which fragments of amphora still emerge: the original character has been carefully respected in the modern renovation, which was followed with passion and competence by a specialist in archeology. It consists of two bedrooms, each with a large double bed and its own bathroom with access from the bedroom, in addition to a common room intended for the living room, where there is a comfortable sofa bed for a possible fifth guest. In the living room there is a dining area, a kitchen with a combined oven (including a microwave), a fridge and a gas hob.
The house is comfortable and quiet: the master bedroom has a view of the ancient Via dei Pompieri, which links Via dei Giubbonari to Piazza del Monte di Pietà. The second bedroom has two windows that overlook the inner courtyard of the building. Air conditioning in every room, television, WI-FI; the electric controls consist of light blue touch LEDs.
The main bathroom in antique yellow marble has a very comfortable shower (1.50 x 0.90 m); a marble sink that, like the others in the house, was created from a fountain that comes from the garden of one of the oldest Roman families. The bathroom of the second bedroom, with shower box, is smaller in size but not less attention to detail, also equipped with a hairdryer and a still functioning bronze cock of the '700. Via dei Giubbonari, which leads to the Campo dei Fiori square, is one of the busiest streets in the center and full of shops. This apartment, located a few meters from the ancient House of Pompey, is ideal for a fascinating exploration of the mysteries and wonders of the Eternal City. In the houses of ancient Rome, unlike today, the apartments on the ground and first floors were the most valuable, due to the greater security they offered in the then very frequent case of a fire: the wooden ceilings of this old apartment they are not very high (about 2.20 meters)

Great location and perfect home base to rest

Stayed at the flat for 5 nights. Great location - enjoyed going to the market in the morning, grabbing gelato in the evening and visiting Rome in the day. Central location to many of the sights and great communication with the owner. Had some confusion with the lights and Francesco came by and helped me out.

Great location in the heart of Rome

Can’t beat the location. Walk to most attractions. Area does get congested and pick up/drop off was a bit challenging when deliveries and vendors were setting up. The main bedroom is great with a comfortable bed and spacious shower. The 2nd shower is tight but adequate. 2nd bedroom Quiet & dark room for Good sleeping. Would recommend!

Fantastic apartment

We had a fabulous stay. The apartment was exactly as it looked in the photos. It was so clean and comfortable. The location could not have been better. We were right next door to my favorite restaurant. The anpar was incredibly quiet. All the communications with the host were quickly responded to.

Great Security and 3 spacious rooms

Accomodation and rooms were comfortable enough. I did however ask for the sheets to be washed without fragrance's due to my allergies but unfortunately the request wasn't met so my stay wasn't very comfortable. Other then that the location is good and has what you need for a short stay. Communication getting into the apartment was good. Take earplugs as the doors are very heavy and when other apartments shut there doors from the stairwell there is a loud slam.

What a wonderful apt

We had such a fantastic stay in Rome! The apartment was in the perfect location—so central that we could walk to all the major sights without needing transportation. The space was incredibly clean and had these lovely historical details that gave it a really special character. We also had a great time exploring the neighborhood, which was full of amazing restaurants and fun boutiques just steps away. The hosts were wonderful—very welcoming and super responsive. We’d absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful apartment perfectly located between the Colosseum and the Vatican, about a 25-35 minute walk to either destination. Watching the video for details about the check-in very helpful, and should be done. The property manager responds well to text via Whatsapp and provides full instructions needed to do a self check-in. The apartment was beautiful and as advertized.

Beautiful renovated apartment

My husband and I stayed in this property for the last two days of an 11-day trip to Florence, Perugia, then Rome. The apartment is just as beautiful as it looks in the photos. We especially appreciated the modern spacious bathroom with hot water and great water pressure. The location was fun - tons of shops and restaurants right outside in a pedestrian-only alley. The only downside was it was pretty noisy at night. We were there on a Saturday night so there were lots of people at the bars and restaurants right outside the bedroom window until at least 2-3 AM. Sunday night was a bit quieter. But overall it’s a beautiful room with a very comfortable bed.

As the title says, it is in a fantastic location. It was a great place to stay for two couples. Within one minute there is coffee and pastries, a breakfast place, and a fantastic gelato shop. Within five minutes there is a square with a bunch of great restaurants and bars. Our favorite was the Mercado. It is also centrally located to many of the main places to visit. The property manager was very responsive. Would definitely stay there again if we came back to Rome.

A perfect oasis

Rome is breathtaking, but sightseeing means long days that can be hot, dirty, crowds, etc. House of Marbles is like the perfect “off switch” from what’s outside: it’s perfectly cool, quiet, nicely lit, well appointed… like a refuge. The location is great so you can pop back for a midday siesta or a shower, to get food or water. It’s right by Campo so there’s lots of food and supplies, great shopping, and lots of busses to get around if you don’t want to walk, which is what we chose most of the time. 11/10. Probably the best rental I’ve seen. Bring your own shampoo.
