Planning a trip to the Italian capital and looking for the best Airbnb Rome vacation rentals? CHE GRANDE! I’ve compiled this ultimate guide to the best Airbnbs in Rome that are sure to satisfy even the most discerning traveler.
There’s something here for every budget and style – from dreamy romantic apartments that overlook the Trevi Fountain to rustic villas in the rolling hills that surround Rome. Get ready to be inspired to travel to “The Eternal City”!
I’ve written lots about Rome, and I never get sick of talking about how much I love this incredible destination (a place I lived for over a year) – or recommending places that will take your visit to the next level.
Rome is an assault on the senses – in the best way possible. At every turn, there’s an ancient landmark, an incredible dining or drinking opportunity, a cozy laneway market, or locals talking animatedly and passionately. Few cities make you feel more alive and “in the moment” than Rome, and it can be difficult to take in all of the incredible things you’re seeing and experiencing. To stand in the presence of still-standing structures built thousands of years ago and the most important historical artworks in the world is something else entirely – and I want everyone to experience it at least once in their lives.

The apartment is centrally located, we just walked around to see Trevi, Spanish steps, Pantheon, Colosseum, and lots of restaurants around.

Guest review: “We had a fantastic stay at Paola’s apartment, the best AirBnB we have stayed at! She was easy to communicate with and met us at the apartment for handover of keys and to give us information. Paola has thought of every little detail when it comes to making the apartment a comfortable place to stay. The kitchen then had everything you could possibly need and she even stocked the fridge and pantry with basic food items including drinks, milk, cereals, tea, coffee and more. After several weeks of travel it felt like a home away from home. Location is the only thing to consider as it is about a 15 minute train ride from city center (less than 10 minute walk to metro station). We found this very easy to manage but depends on your preferences.”

Superhost: Yes
Price: $150+ USD per night
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22144316
Another of my picks for Rome AirBNB that are slightly out of the city, this charming two bedroom wooden chalet on a private estate is a rustic escape, surrounded by towering oaks and lemon trees. There’s a wood burning fireplace, swimming pool and an entertaining deck, and the location near to the village of Cesano is super quiet, private and tranquil. Locally, there’s a number of shops and dining experiences, or you can jump on the train into the heart of Rome and be there in 35 minutes! It’s hard to believe a hideaway like this exists so close to the bustling streets of Rome! It’s also another 5 star AirBNB stay.

Guest review: “I left my heart in this wonderful place. The pictures on the listing show the house as it is but do not do justice to the beautiful surroundings and peaceful, idyllic atmosphere in Giulio and Mariangela’s estate. The garden has mature trees, well tended lawns, a vegetable garden and of course the fabulous pool surrounded by wooden decking and sunbeds (no plastic in sight!). The house is charmingly decorated, fully equipped and spotless. Although only a short distance from Rome, it’s like stepping into another world, cannot recommend highly enough. Giulio and Mariangela are lovely people and excellent hosts with great ideas for the estate. We will certainly return!”

Guest review: “Ippolita has created an amazing space for her guests at San Giusto. The kitchen has all that you will need to prepare simple meals but given the size of the breakfast (which was delicious) you may not need another meal! The dining hall is enormous but the space still feels cosy and warm. The place has been tastefully decorated with some interesting pieces including the bed which was one of the most comfortable we have had during our 10 week trip. For anyone who loves animals, antiquity and big breakfasts, this is definitely the place for you! We had a fantastic stay and would come back without hesitation.” – Liz
