"Close your eyes. Now imagine waking up in a glamorous apartment on one of Rome’s splendid little cobblestone stradas, lording it over the throngs of tourists below whilst you waft around in your cool quarters above, devouring freshly baked pastries dropped straight to your door. Envisage a bedroom dressed in sumptuous Society Limonata sheets, a kitchenette stocked with Prosecco and chocolates, and a sauna in the bathroom. You've just imagined CasaCau, a lovingly converted 16th-century palazzo in the historic centre of Rome.Each of the 1-bed apartments is individually styled with retro-chic furniture, contemporary artwork and beautifully restored original features. You’ll find quirky art pieces and vintage Olivetti typewriters, as well as wireless Bose speakers. It’s the ultimate home-away-from-home - with the added luxuries of someone else doing the cleaning, and the city's best-kept secrets shared by your warm, thoughtful hosts. Highs The quirky, individual style of each apartment; we wanted a night in every single oneMod-cons, free breakfasts, a concierge service and spoiling touches make for a luxurious stayPerfect for a romantic minibreak, or extra beds can be added for a family, and 2 apartments can be joined for a group of friendsA short stroll from the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and Spanish Steps; you’re in the buzzing heart of RomeWe were blown away by the service - you're added to a WhatsApp group on your arrival day in case you need anything, and you can even select the scent in your apartment prior to arrival! Lows Pricey, though definitely worth it, considering the location and amenitiesNoise from the streets can filter up, but we found it surprisingly peaceful with the windows shutThere’s no lift so you'll have 3 or 4 flights of stairs to climbNo on-site restaurant but you're close to countless eateries" - Sarah de Vere-Drummond
