Our vacation rentals in Rome
One of the world’s truly great cities, Rome is a tribute to man’s cultural and artistic achievements. A huge expanse brimming with UNESCO landmarks, food, culture, and monuments, the Eternal City will call you back again and again. Our luxury vacation rentals in Rome give you an exclusive base from which to discover the true personality of this iconic destination.
Where do you begin in Rome? The world-famous Colosseum or the Vatican? The Seven Hills (there are actually eight) or museums filled with works by Da Vinci, Rafael, and Caravaggio? The sheer number of things to see and do in Rome can be overwhelming, so take plenty of coffee breaks and let Rome come to you as you sip an espresso and eat a sweet pastry. Evenings are laid-back, languid affairs where a meal can take hours to enjoy, and the laughter goes well into the small hours, eased by plenty of fine wine and even finer food. Gaze out across the rooftops from the balcony of your Rome apartment and admire the sunset as you plan your next day’s adventures.

It’s easy to wander away from the usual tourist spots and discover a more authentic side to Rome. But even down these cobbled alleyways and tiny piazzas, you’ll see glimpses of the city’s ancient past, with remains of the Roman Empire everywhere. Look up, and you’ll see incredible roof gardens while archways reveal hidden courtyards with fountains and statues. Rome is, quite simply, unique, and one visit is never enough. But that’s okay because there are hundreds of stunning vacation rentals in Rome to choose from, no matter what time of the year you visit.
“I'll never forget the first time I saw the Colosseum with my own eyes. Rome is just a marvel: thousands of years of history can be found on every street corner.”
Please note: these are the average temperatures reported but can vary significantly due to weather conditions, such as heat waves, etc. We kindly invite you to contact us for more information, including confirmation that your chosen vacation rental in Rome has air conditioning to ensure a comfortable stay.
During spring: Rome in the spring is enchanting. The city’s parks and gardens come to life in a blaze of colour, and temperatures range between 18-24°C (66-75°F). You will encounter the odd rain shower or two, but they’re over quickly, and there are plenty of places to take cover until the clouds part. The streets will be busy, especially during Easter when the Vatican is thronged with pilgrims, so you may need to book your Rome apartment or house rental a little earlier to avoid disappointment.
During summer: one thing that surprises many visitors is just how hot it can be in Rome during the summer. Temperatures can climb into the high 30s°C (90°F+), so ensure you carry plenty of water while sightseeing. It’s a perfect excuse to try some authentic Roman gelato and wander around the museums to take advantage of the air conditioning inside. The main attractions are particularly busy during the summer months, especially the Colosseum and the Pantheon. Many holiday apartments in Rome's city centre are within easy reach of these major attractions. So you can take a little extra time exploring without having to travel too far in the summer heat.
During autumn: the visitors start to disperse a little in the autumn months, but through September and October, the city remains very lively. Temperatures are still in the mid to high-20s°C until the cooler weather arrives in November. You’ll find a plethora of food festivals celebrating the harvest at this time of the year, and autumn is the season to try Italian truffles and porcini mushrooms.
During winter: wander down quiet Roman streets bathed in golden winter light and discover sites like the Sistine Chapel, but without any of the hustle and bustle of the preceding months. For a completely different experience, book one of our luxury vacation rentals in Rome during the winter months, and discover a peaceful, more authentic side of the city. You’ll need a warm jumper as winter temperatures can drop below freezing, but the magnificent sunsets are well worth the effort of packing a pair of gloves and a woolly hat.
Make the journey as memorable as the arrival. Your dedicated concierge can arrange transportation from the closest airport or train station to your Rome apartment holiday rental.
Rome has two international airports, Leonardo da Vinci/Fiumicino International Airport and G.B. Pastine/Ciampino International Airport. Most flights arrive at Leonardo da Vinci Airport, while private charters can arrive at the smaller G.B. Pastine airport. Your dedicated concierge can arrange for transfers to any of our vacation homes for rent in Rome, Italy, or for car hire to be waiting for you on arrival.
Driving in Rome’s city centre is an experience that is probably best left to the locals! However, getting to Rome by car is easy. The city is surrounded by a ring road, the Grande Raccordo Anulare or GRA. Every off-ramp leads into the centre of the city like the spokes of a wheel. The rural roads around Rome are a driver’s dream, with good quality tarmac, fabulous scenery, and plenty of roadside cafés for a pit stop and a coffee. Ask your Travel Advisor for more information on which of our Rome apartment rentals come with private parking spaces.
In the heart of Rome is one of the busiest rail stations in Europe, the Roma Termini. If you’re travelling through Europe by train, you’ll arrive here from Eurostar connections and other transcontinental services.
