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)

We loved this apartment! It was centrally located, close enough to walk to the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. There are several restaurants very close as well as small markets for incidentals. The unit itself was beautiful with lovely Italian touches throughout. The beds were comfortable, sheets were in good condition, and towels were ample. Communication with our host was amazing - very quick to respond to any question we had. I would highly recommend this unit!

Great Location and Exceeded our expectations

We were very pleased with our choice to book this property. The location was excellent to Cafes, stores and groceries. We had an easy walk to get on the Hop on Hop off bus. Having 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths was perfect. It gave us time on our own to explore and see what life would be like living in Rome.

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.

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.

The feel of antiquity updated with all the modern comforts.

What a great location! You step outside the door onto a narrow cobblestone street and you feel like you’ve been transported to Ancient Rome! And this apartment perfectly blends into that neighborhood. Yet it has been wonderfully renovated to provide all the modern comforts.

What a great property and experience. We had a wonderful time in Rome and really enjoyed our time at this property. It was clean, well furnished and had many upgrades that added to the experience. The location was perfect as is central to many of the key attractions and piazzas where we could enjoy a cafe or an afternoon break. The hosts were very responsive and provided guide books and recommendations which made it easier to plan our time. Highly recommend the house of marbles for your Rome experience.

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.

Román Holiday

This was our second stay at the House of Marbles. My wife and I enjoyed our first visit so much last year that we invited my wife’s sister to join us. It was her first trip to Italy and she had a wonderful time full of great memories. The House of Marbles location is very convenient, within a short walking distance to all the major tourist attractions.

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.

This property was amazing! Great location and so charming inside! It was immaculate and had plenty of space for 5 adults. We stayed here just one night before we flew home but I wish we could’ve stayed longer. Andrea was a great host. He made sure we had instructions on how to get there and provided lots of information ahead of time on the area. He also helped us arrange travel to the airport which was a huge help. It was wonderful to have 2 bathrooms with nice showers and the beds were so comfortable. It really exceeded our expectations and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you to Andrea!

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.

A splendid home base to see Rome

The apartment is comfortable, clean, cozy, and the location is amazing. I felt very safe in the neighborhood as a lone traveller. The beds, linens, towels, etc are extremely comfortable, and everything is up to date and working. The ceilings were fine, and I’m 5’8. Drain smell? A tiny bit, but it didn’t affect my stay. Outdoor noise? Some, but you’re staying right in the middle of town, so it’s to be expected. I wore earplugs and slept very well. Lots of amenities close by - groceries, pharmacy, restaurants, cafés, etc. I’d absolutely stay there again.
