San Saba Rooftop Garden is a holiday home in Rome, in the Aventine district, about 1.9 km from the Domus Aurea and 1.5 km from the Colosseum.
The property occupies a 130 m² semi-independent apartment spread across three bedrooms, a living room with fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, refrigerator and coffee machine. The single bathroom has a bathtub, shower and bidet. A balcony, terrace and patio overlooking the garden offer glimpses of the neighbourhood’s rooftops, while air conditioning keeps the stay comfortable in every season.
It’s a solution suited to large families or groups of friends who want to experience Rome with the freedom of a real home: cooking, doing laundry with a washing machine and dryer available, organising a barbecue on the terrace. The location in the Aventine district, quiet yet very central, allows guests to reach the Piramide and Circo Massimo metro stations on foot, and from there the major monuments of ancient Rome within minutes.
The only accommodation type offered by San Saba Rooftop Garden is the Holiday Home, a 130 m² apartment designed to accommodate up to five people across three separate bedrooms: one with a large double bed and two with single beds, for a total of four beds plus the possibility of additional configurations. The unit has a single private bathroom with bathtub, shower and bidet, and a kitchen fully equipped with dishwasher, refrigerator, oven and coffee machine, ideal for those who want to manage their meals independently.
The common areas include a living room with fireplace and sofa, plus a balcony, patio and terrace overlooking the garden that offer views of the city and the surrounding points of interest. Air conditioning is available throughout the apartment, as is a flat-screen TV and internet connection, making the home suitable for extended stays or groups wishing to share large spaces without giving up the privacy of individual bedrooms.
The apartment occupies 130 m² across three separate bedrooms, designed for large groups or families needing space and privacy.

The setting is residential yet lively, with restaurants such as Angeli e Diavoli di Paolo Micale literally a few metres from the entrance, and aperitivo spots in nearby Testaccio, about 650 metres away.
Getting around is easy: Piramide metro station is just 400 metres away, while Circo Massimo can be reached in about 600 metres, both on Line B. Roma Ostiense and Porta San Paolo railway stations are 600 and 450 metres away respectively, convenient for those arriving by train. Ciampino Airport is about 11 km away, and Fiumicino Airport 18 km away, both connected by buses and direct trains to the city centre.
