Experience a true taste of Rome in the hip and stylish Casa Doria, nestled in the heart of colourful Trastevere. Unique interiors and a delightful outdoor space make this captivating villa the perfect base for exploring the beautiful city. Located in a district with a rich food culture, you'll live the Italian dream, finding a new local dish to sample each evening.

Trastevere is often referred to as 'the heart of Rome', and here you can get an authentic experience of this ancient city. Spend slow mornings sipping coffee in the pretty Piazza Trilussa - just over a 20-minute walk away - before wandering through the tranquil botanical gardens, where the Japanese gardens are particularly exquisite. Vatican City is a ten-minute drive away, and the cultural powerhouses of the Colosseum and Pantheon are easy to get to by taxi or train.

The chic open-plan living-dining space sits under a glorious brick vaulted ceiling. Complementing the aesthetic are interior touches such as a cow skin rug, towers made from books, and inviting sofas, creating a wonderful space for relaxing and socialising. A sleek white kitchen with state-of-the-art equipment offers all the inspiration to whip up feasts with ingredients hand-picked from the bustling Piazza di San Cosimato fresh food market - a leisurely 15-minute stroll away.

Feel perfectly calm in the villa's two minimalist bedrooms. With a striking monochrome design, the first bedroom features a comfortable king-size bed and benefits from access to the peaceful garden. The second bedroom is brimming with character. Here, guests can access an elevated double bed, tucked away under the curved ceiling and accessed via steps. Casa Doria's two bathrooms impress, with stunning mosaic tiling, a sunken tub, and even a mini sauna for soothing tired muscles.

A sun trap in the afternoons, the private garden welcomes you with colourful plants and a hammock to snooze in after a delicious lunch at one of the local restaurants. When your appetite returns, fire up the BBQ and relish al fresco dining under the pergola. Spend the rest of your evening sipping wine on the cool covered terrace, making memories as you reminisce about your culture-filled days in Rome.
