Where is Design Apartment located in Rome, and how close is the Colosseum?
Design Apartment by Roma Segreta is one minute on foot from the Colosseum, in the heart of Rione Monti, the first rione of Rome. This is the ancient Suburra, where Julius Caesar grew up between the Esquiline and Viminal hills. The Roman Forum is five minutes away, Piazza Venezia ten, the Trevi Fountain fifteen. The apartment is on the first floor, no lift, with 3.5-metre ceilings, exposed wooden beams, terracotta brick walls and a private internal courtyard in Monti.
How does self check-in work at Design Apartment, and can I arrive late at night?
Check-in at Design Apartment by Roma Segreta is fully self-managed, 24/7. A secure digital code and arrival instructions reach you before your stay, so you can land at Fiumicino at 6am or at midnight from Ciampino and walk straight to the door. No reception, no waiting, no minimum stay — one night is enough. If you arrive before the apartment is ready, we keep your luggage so you can start exploring Rione Monti and the Colosseum right away.
What's included in Design Apartment, and how many guests can stay?
Design Apartment by Roma Segreta sleeps up to 4 guests across one double bedroom, a sofa bed in the living room, and two full bathrooms — a rare configuration near the Colosseum, ideal for two couples travelling together or families with teenagers. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, washer-dryer, toaster and Nespresso. The apartment is on the first floor of a historic palazzo in Rione Monti, with 3.5-metre ceilings, exposed wooden beams, terracotta brick and a private internal courtyard for breakfast, aperitivo or dinner under the Roman sky. Also included: fibre Wi-Fi at 400 Mbps, OLED Smart TV, air conditioning and heating, fresh linen and towels, Dyson hairdryer, and a welcome kit with Roman coffee, olive oil and salt. Cribs and extra linens are always free.
How much does a stay at Design Apartment cost, and what's included in the price?
Design Apartment by Roma Segreta starts from 149 euro per night, with no minimum stay — a competitive rate for a two-bathroom apartment near the Colosseum, especially when split between four guests. The rate includes the full apartment, fibre Wi-Fi at 400 Mbps, all linen and towels, the welcome kit, and self check-in at any hour. A one-off cleaning fee is added at booking, clearly shown before you confirm. Rates rise in high season around Easter, summer and Christmas. Rome's city tax is not included: 6 euro per person per night, paid on site, with children under 10 tax-free.
How do I get to Design Apartment from Fiumicino or Ciampino, and is there parking nearby?
From Fiumicino, the Leonardo Express reaches Roma Termini in 32 minutes, then a short taxi or 12-minute walk brings you to Design Apartment by Roma Segreta. From Ciampino, a taxi takes around 40 minutes; private transfers available on request. Colosseo and Cavour metro stations on Line B are both a 4-minute walk. The building sits just outside Rome's ZTL, so you can reach our street by car. The closest secure garage is Roma Park Colosseo in Via Ostilia. Share your arrival time and car plate in advance.
Is Design Apartment suitable for couples, families, remote workers and travellers with pets?
Yes, on all four counts. For couples and honeymooners, the apartment is quiet and private, one minute from the Colosseum, with an internal courtyard for aperitivo hour. For two couples travelling together, the second bathroom makes sharing effortless. For families, we sleep up to 4 guests with a free crib and extra linens. Colle Oppio park is two minutes away, good for small legs that have seen enough ruins. With two bathrooms, Design Apartment is especially suited for families with teenagers or parents who need their own space in the morning. For remote workers, fibre Wi-Fi runs at 400 Mbps, with a proper desk in natural morning light and 3.5-metre ceilings that make a working day feel lighter. The second bathroom is a practical advantage when two people work from home. For travellers with pets, well-behaved dogs are welcome with a small cleaning fee. A bowl and blanket wait on arrival, and Colle Oppio is two minutes away for morning walks.
Waking up to the garden light and stepping onto the courtyard felt incredibly calming. Every detail encouraged us to slow down and enjoy the moment.
