Why we picked this hotel
The pleasure of CasaCau is having hotel-level care without much of the hotel machinery. Breakfast appears in your apartment, the staff quietly help with the city, and behind your own front door you have somewhere that genuinely feels yours.
Hotel description
A few steps behind the Trevi Fountain, CasaCau turns a 17th-century palazzo into six apartments that feel more like eccentric Roman homes than hotel rooms. Vintage Italian furniture, Olivetti typewriters, unexpected colour and kitchens stocked with useful treats give each one its own personality, while the location puts some of Rome’s busiest streets almost impossibly close. Wake early and reach Trevi before the crowds, then come home when the city gets overwhelming. Breakfast arrives at your door, your own kitchen is waiting, and several apartments hide Turkish baths or even a private sauna. CasaCau is for travellers who want to be right in the middle of Rome while still having somewhere that feels entirely their own.
Hotel location
This is great
An apartment that feels genuinely Roman
CasaCau turns a restored 17th-century residence into six characterful apartments that feel more like borrowing a stylish local home.
Trevi Fountain is around the corner
You’re roughly three minutes on foot from the fountain, with the Spanish Steps and Pantheon also easily walkable.
Breakfast arrives at your door
You'll receive a morning bag with fresh bread, pastries, eggs and milk, ready to enjoy in your own kitchen.
The design has real personality
Vintage finds, antiques and playful Italian design make each apartment feel collected rather than conventionally decorated.
You can actually settle in here
Every apartment has an open kitchen and dining space, making CasaCau especially comfortable for longer stays.
Local advice is part of the experience
The hosts are known for steering guests towards favourite restaurants, markets and corners of Rome beyond the obvious sights.
Our take on the stay
If you like a little wellness built into the room, choose carefully: the Studio has its own sauna, while four of the other apartments have Turkish-style steam facilities.

About the destination
Rome
Rome is a city of ancient landmarks, lively piazzas, and neighbourhood streets where cafés and trattorias spill onto the pavement. Around the Trevi district, historic palazzi, small boutiques, and some of the city’s best-known sights are all within an easy walk. CasaCau sits just moments from the Trevi Fountain, placing you in the heart of Rome while offering a more residential way to experience the city.
