Domus Colosseo

Found in the heart of ancient Rome, Domus Colosseo places you exactly where you want to be: on the Caelian (Celio) Hill, a historic district wrapped around the Colosseum and the Imperial Fora. You’re close enough to wander out for sunrise at the amphitheater, yet tucked into local streets with cafés, osterias, and leafy parks. Want to wake up and greet the Colosseum before breakfast? Here, that’s your normal morning.

Domus Colosseo offers both apartment‑style stays and boutique‑hotel rooms in a characterful building near Via Annia. Options include the sunny Roof Garden penthouse—set across three levels with sweeping city views—and the ‘Novecento’ suite furnished with early‑20th‑century pieces. The hotel wing has welcomed guests since March 2017. If you prefer the feel of a home with hotel‑style convenience, you’ll fit right in.

Location: the Celio district beside Rome’s ancient core

You’re staying on one of Rome’s legendary Seven Hills, where archaeological sites, churches, and quiet residential lanes coexist. Celio borders the Colosseum and the Roman Forum to the west and includes green spaces such as Colle Oppio—home to the Domus Aurea—and Villa Celimontana, a park known for summer concerts. It’s a neighborhood with history at every corner and everyday amenities within a few minutes’ walk.

Getting here from the airports

Fiumicino (FCO) – Leonardo da Vinci: About 32 km to central Rome. Official white taxis charge a fixed €55 fare each way to addresses within the Aurelian Walls (luggage and supplements included); typical travel time is 40–50 minutes depending on traffic.
Ciampino (CIA) – G. B. Pastine: Roughly 15 km from the city. The fixed fare is €40 each way to/from addresses inside the Aurelian Walls; plan on about 30 minutes by taxi in normal conditions.

Prefer public transport? From Termini you’re two metro stops on Line B to Colosseo or a short taxi ride to Via Annia; both options are straightforward if you’re arriving with luggage.

Groceries and everyday essentials nearby

You’ll find several minimarkets and supermarkets within a short walk—especially along Via Labicana and Via dei Santi Quattro Coronati, where a morning neighborhood market also appears most days (except Sunday). It’s easy to stock up on water, fruit, and picnic supplies before heading into the ruins.

Distance to the Colosseum

From the front door, you can stroll to the Colosseum in roughly 5–10 minutes (route‑dependent). The Imperial Fora, Palatine Hill, Circus Maximus, and the Arch of Constantine all sit within an easy, scenic loop, so you won’t need to plan complicated transfers just to see the classics. The setting really is like stepping into a living museum.
