Rome holiday apartment

This 30 sq meter studio is settled in one of the most colourful and picturesque areas of Rome called “Trastevere”. It is set on the west bank of the river Tiber, south of the Vatican City. It’s name derives from Latin “trans Tiberim” meaning “on the other side of the Tiber”. Originally, in 754BC, Trastevere was Etruscan before being conquered by the Romans for strategic reasons in 509BC. Always considered a bit on the outskirts of Rome, Trastevere was infact included in the city walls with Empror Aurelio (270-275AD) who built the Aurelian walls that also included the Vatican City. During the Imperial wealthy period of Rome many rich and influential people built their villas in this area. Then in the Middle Ages Trastevere became an intricate labyrinth of narrow streets. it was impossible even for wheel carts to pass.

The area was a mixture of buildings of different periods (that can still be admired today) belonging to the rich and to the poor and due to the fact of being on the river and a bit decentralized from the city centre, this was a multicultural area. In the 1870’s big stone walls were built on the sides of the Tiber to prevent it from flooding and this destroyed the most characteristic places that were settled along the river bank.Even today Trastevere maintains its bright, bustling, busy, characteristics with artisan shops, small elegant shops, restaurants of all sorts and those of typical Roman cuisine, the famous S. Cosimato market that has now been completely renovated, supermarkets, cinemas, the English cinema theatre called Pasquino in Vicolo del Piede (“Foot street”), the Gianicolo gardens where you can admire a beautiful view of Rome and where you may see and hear the cannon shoot everyday at noon.Also not to miss the botanical gardens just two minutes away from the apartment.
