The best Airbnbs in Rome for every budget and neighbourhood

Location: Testaccio.

This spotless, sunny apartment is a great place to unwind between sightseeing and leisurely meals throughout Rome. Located in a historic building in Rome’s former meatpacking district, foodie travelers will particularly love the neighborhood. Testaccio is gritty and cool, with natural wine bars, historic restaurants and some of the best markets in town. It’s also a five minute walk to Trastevere, Circo Massimo and Garbatella (another local quartiere worth checking out). The Airbnb has a comfortable bed, air conditioning and blackout curtains, ensuring a peaceful sleep, and washing machine with dryer so you can take care of laundry during your trip.

Price: From €263 per night.

Sleeps: Two people. 

Nearby sites: Circo Massimo, gardens of Garbatella, Colosseum. 

Time Out says: ’Roman cuisine was born in Testaccio and the neighborhood remains full of local flair and flavors. Stop by the Testaccio market to sample decadent street food and before strolling through the Protestant Cemetery – located in the shadows of an ancient Egyptian pyramid – and admiring classical sculptures at Centrale Montemartini, a defunct powerplant. Try the cacio e pepe at Felice a Testaccio – you won’t be disappointed.’ Livia Hengel

Location: Ponte Milvio, about 4km from Rome's Centro Storico.

Most travellers don’t venture up to Ponte Milvio during a brief trip to Rome, but if you’re planning on visiting the Olympic Stadium for a match or a concert, this is the best place to stay. This bright, comfortable, and very affordable apartment is elegantly furnished and super safe and quiet thanks to double-paned windows. It has a small terrace where you can enjoy your morning cappuccino and access to a private park where kids can play. Nearby are plenty of quaint bistros, cafes and grocery stores if you’re planning to cook. You can hop on a bike and cruise along the Tiber River to reach the historic center of Rome, hop on a bus or take the #2 tram down to Piazza del Popolo. Our insider tip: There’s a snack bar around the corner which serves amazing gelato.

Price: From €132 per night.

Sleeps: Four people.

Nearby sites: Stadio Olimpico, Tiber River, Ponte Milvio.

Time Out says: ’This is an apartment that will make you feel like you’re living in Rome – and that proximity to the Olympic Stadium is great for matches and concerts. In fact, watching a football game at Stadio Olimpico made the short list of the best things to do in Rome in 2026.’ Livia Hengel

Location: Monti, bordering Centro Storico.

If you want to step out your front door directly into ancient Roman history, Monti is the ultimate neighborhood. This self-sufficient and quaint apartment is perfectly located near the Fori Imperiali (public squares and ruins).

The charming space comfortably sleeps three, with a full kitchen for ease and a small picturesque balcony overlooking the older architecture of the city. 

Price: From €360 per night.

Sleeps: Three people.

For travellers seeking a cheap Airbnb in Rome that doesn't compromise on space or charm, San Giovanni is a top-tier neighborhood choice. This beautiful house may be located in a more residential part of Rome, but here you can escape the tourists while still being just a short bus or metro ride away from all the main attractions. Enjoy more space at a lower price, with a large front yard, full kitchen and decor with plenty of character. Eat and shop like the locals at nearby markets, Roman trattorias at local prices, bars and ice cream parlors when you want a break from the hustle of more central spots. When you're ready to explore, you can ride Metro Line A or catch the #85 bus right outside your doorstep directly to Centro Storico.

Price: From €80 a night.

Sleeps: Two people.

Nearby sites: Colosseum, Museo Storico Della Fanteria, Amphitheatrum Castrense, Porta Maggiore.

Trastevere is one of the coolest neighbourhoods in Rome. Famous for its maze of narrow cobblestone streets, artisan workshops, and buzzing nightlife. Lined with bars, Roman trattorias, and cafés, it comes alive after dark as locals and visitors mingle over food, wine, and music, capturing the true spirit of la dolce vita.

Brimming with old-school Roman charm, this rustic beam-studded hideaway is a very romantic spot indeed. Snuggle down in one of the best Rome apartments there is, with a bedroom lined with shelves heaving with rows of vintage books and leather-bound folios. Eat home-cooked pasta in the antiques-strewn living room with walls dotted with gilt mirrors and elegant artwork that wouldn't look out of place in the city’s MAXXI Gallery.

Location: Monti.

When it comes to central location and classic Italian character, this studio in the heart of Monti delivers on every level. The space is packed with historic charm, featuring exposed brick walls, barrel-vaulted ceilings, and a lush, ivy-draped veranda that makes morning espresso feel magical.

Location: Piazza De Ricci in Centro Storico.

Many of us head to Italy with dreams of the Romanesque and the Renaissance, but the Italian talent for beauty and artistry isn’t, of course, confined to those ancient far away time periods. This elegant-in-the-extreme apartment in prestigious Piazza de Ricci is a visual lesson in how past-meets-present in modern Rome. Frescoed ceilings and heritage paintings combine with a striking glass internal balcony and sleek contemporary furnishings. The bedroom places you up close to that ceiling and, when you need to get ready for dinner in style, there’s a Turkish bath and chromotherapy bathroom to pamper yourself in.

Location: Monti.

Let's not beat about the bush. You're renting this modest one-bed for one reason and one reason only: that view. Actually, that's not strictly true. It's within walking distance of all the must-sees of ancient Rome, this place – in an 18th-century building no less – is a real hidden gem in Monti. Beyond the wow-factor, the location is unbeatable for first-time visitors: you can easily stroll on foot to the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and the ancient ruins of Centro Storico, saving both time and taxi fares.

Price: From €260 per night.

Sleeps: Two people.

Nearby sites: Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon.

If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime Roman stay, this high-end apartment in Trevi Square delivers one of the most exclusive vistas in Europe. Wake up to direct, uncompromised views of the Trevi Fountain, which you now have to pay to see btw, before the morning crowds arrive. Inside, there's an all-white palette, crystal chandeliers, and opulent finishes throughout. Positioned in the prime heart of Centro Storico, you can easily walk to the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, and Rome's top designer shopping districts without ever needing a taxi.

Time Out says: Staying right on Trevi Square means world-class dining is on your doorstep. For an authentic, quick bite after evening sightseeing, grab a slice of wood-fired Roman pizza at nearby Pizza in Trevi.

Location: Prati.

We love this fourth-floor penthouse for how it matches sophistication with a strong sense of fun and vivacity. Located close to the Vatican City and St Peter's Square, the walls of this spacious apartment are adorned with vibrant abstract art – that is, if they’re not huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The hosts have a penchant for large, lush houseplants and one-of-a-kind accessories, but they’ve kept their passions limited to a selection of objects that all feel very specifically and neatly chosen. We particularly love the dining area and the wonderfully bold artwork behind the table but, hey, you’re in Prati so dining out is also going to be high up your list of things to do.

Price: From €611 per night.

Sleeps: Six people.

Nearby sites: The Vatican, Sistine Chapel, St Peter's Basilica. 

Time Out says: Prati’s famous for high-end shopping boulevards, gourmet markets, and Michelin-rated dining. Skip the hotel breakfast and head straight to the vibrant Casa Matti for incredible morning pastries and coffee alongside local Roman foodies.

Location: Piazza di Spagna, Campo Marzio, in Rome's Centro Storico.

Six floors up, spacious, chic, a bit glitzy – with its airy, white and cream exterior and artworks and prints across the walls, this is a very good-looking apartment indeed. It’s also great for large groups: it can host up to nine guests if you and a bunch of pals have a city break in Rome planned. The location’s a good one too, with the Spanish Steps (Piazza di Spagna), Trevi Fountain and Via Condotti's legendary high-end boutiques are just a gentle wander away.

Price: From €1,000 per night.

Sleeps: Nine people.

Nearby sites: Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Piazza del Popolo.

Time Out says: You’re a five-minute walk from Teatro Salone Margherita, a historic theatre showing opera, classical music and cabaret. 

Location: Piazza di Spagna, Campo Marzio, in Rome's Centrol Storico.

Stepping off a cobbled street in Piazza di Spagna in Centro Storico leads you up to this contemporary cool penthouse. It certainly ain't cheap, but it does sleep up to six, so consider splitting a slice of luxury between friends. The heated roof terrace alone is worth it, offering sweeping views of the city, including the ornate facade of Santa Chiara church. And when you tire of that (as if), you can relax in the chromotherapy shower or jacuzzi in the main bathroom.

Price: From €414 per night.

Sleeps: Six people.

Nearby sites: Trevi fountain, Pantheon, Santa Chiara church.

Time Out says: There’s plenty of culture on your doorstep here, but if you happen to be a fashionista too, this is a perfect place to hit the shops. Step outside your front door directly onto Via Condotti to explore Italy’s premier designer boutiques and vintage fashion ateliers. Read our guide on the best places to go shopping in Rome.
