If you’ve been to Rome before, you know: Its hotels are pretty small. Even those with a grand foyer and charming courtyards are likely to have fairly cramped rooms.

That’s not unique to the ancient city any more than other millennia-old European destinations. Roman neighborhoods like Centro Storico, Trastevere, Testaccio, and Monti were built with carts, horses, and family-living in mind—and not all locals had the money to build multi-family villas.
In short, if you’re visiting Rome with your family or a small group, you need to find lodging options that offer a third space for you to hang out. Or, at least, large enough rooms that you won’t feel claustrophobic in.
While you can find hotels in Rome that can handle a family of four or a small group of friends (and comfortably so), you might also want to consider an Airbnb rental. Airbnbs in Rome are legal if full-home rentals are only leased for 60 days out of the year, meaning you can find some great steals around the city as locals rent out their homes or second homes on the platform.
Below, you can find great multi-bedroom Airbnbs in Rome for small families or groups. I’ve verified that each recommendation has the necessary CIN/CIR code, which are the national and municipal licenses required to host a legal Airbnb in Rome. I’ve also stuck with Airbnbs run by individual hosts instead of businesses.
Airbnbs in Rome with multiple bedrooms
High-design 2-bedroom in Ludovisi
This two-bedroom unit sleeps four guests. It’s designed in a hyper-clean and minimalist style, which I think will be a relief compared to the busy, hectic streets of Ludovisi. The unit comes with air-conditioning, too, which you’ll need in summer. It’s also located next to the US embassy for added security.
Cozy 2-bedroom in Flaminio
This cozy two-bedroom has a fantastic living area with a large table that’s suitable for remote work—or at-home dinners. Each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom, giving you extra privacy. This is also a fully renovated unit with modern amenities.
3-bedroom with a terrace in Colosseo
Want to stay right in the heart of Rome? This three-bedroom unit is located in Colosseo, close to the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain. Each bedroom has a double bed, but you can sleep eight thanks to the pull-out sofa bed. The star of the show is the small terrace that branches off from the living room. It’s the perfect place to drink your morning coffee, then unwind after a long day of sight-seeing.
2-bedroom rental in Trastevere
Trastevere is Rome’s most famous foodie neighborhood, meaning you’ll eat well (and non-stop) just steps from this rental. It’s a spacious two-bedroom with a modern design and, once again, plenty of space for remote work. The living room has a pull-out couch, too, so you can sleep up to five. Just a heads up: it’s located on the third floor with no elevator, so bring your walking shoes!
3-bedroom in Trastevere with great views
This dynamic rental spans three floors—and the top level has a balcony with fantastic views, along with a second option on the second floor. Take a close look at the pictures, as this isn’t your typical layout. It’ll sleep up to seven guests across three bedrooms. This is ideal for livelier groups, since you’ll be smack in the middle of the bar-and-restaurant action of Trastevere.
Elegant 3-bedroom in Orti Sallustiani
This gorgeous three-bedroom has a distinct Roman flair thanks to its preserved wood features and eclectic (but elegant) design. Each bedroom has a queen-sized mattress. You can also add a crib, making this perfect for families with little ones. It’s located close to all the action, from popular restaurants to sites like the Trevi Fountain. This Airbnb is also available for longer trips.
Comfy 3-bedroom in the heart of Rome
This three-bedroom unit is set in a gorgeous and historic apartment. Think: high ceilings, wood beams, and wrought-iron balconies. The design is comfortable and, in Roman style, just a touch eccentric. It’s also a true three-bedroom, meaning everyone will have plenty of privacy. Outside, you can easily walk to the city’s most popular landmarks.
4-bedroom rental in Campo de Fiori
Looking for Airbnbs in Rome that can sleep up to nine guests? This large Campo de Fiori rental has four bedrooms, along with a pullout couch in the living room. Despite its size, the design and layout are seamless and functional. Each bedroom is spacious, and the hosts have been careful to avoid clutter. It feels light and breezy in this rental.
3-bedroom with views of Trevi Fountain
This three-bedroom apartment is located inside a building that dates back to the 1600s. You’ll notice antique furniture and design elements throughout, from parquet flooring to a private courtyard. The bedrooms are large and private, making this rental feel a touch palatial. You can even see a sliver of Trevi Fountain from one of the windows—while the view isn’t out-of-this-world, the location is.
