The concept of ‘home away from home’ has been catching on like wildfire. It’s no longer enough to offer luxury, we want our travel to feel personalized. One of the latest editions of these intimate-style hotels is Casacau in Rome. Located near the Trevi Fountain, this 17th century building has been converted into 6 different stylish apartments by local architect Nora P, each with their own dining space and open kitchen. Every morning your breakfast provisions are delivered to your door along with the hotel’s own publication Stazione di Posta, where you’ll find inspiring recipes. If you are looking for other hidden gems, ask the hotel’s CEO, Pino or its Guest Relations Manager, Kevin. The staff are there to serve as in-the-know neighbors or friends.

The style of each apartment is unique–some even boast their own Turkish steam bath. With charming details such as vintage typewriters and rotary phones, furniture by artist Alfred van Escher, and whimsical artwork on the walls, you’ll be transported directly to “la Dolce Vita”. It’ll be hard to choose whether you stay in, or explore the streets of Rome. Take a tour of both in the slideshow, with beautiful imagery by Belathée Photography.
