Apartment Description:  Superb 1,300 sq/ft apartment, owned by one of the four most respected noble families in Lazio, is sunny and delightful. It is located within an historic palazzo on a small and lovely ancient square featured in many movies, with a lovely fountain restored by Bernini.  It is a 5 minute walk to the Campo de' Fiori to pick up flowers, vegetables and spices at the morning open-air market.  Guests can stroll to the Campidoglio, Imperial Forum, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, or across the river to enchanting Trastevere, famous for its narrow streets and cozy restaurants.

Yet, you need not cross the river to find a restaurant. One of the top restaurants in Rome, Vecchia Roma, is 2 blocks away and another favorite, Sanpietrino, is right in the palazzo building with a private entrance from the courtyard. Taxis, trams or buses are just 2 blocks away at the Piazza di Torre Argentina. 

The palazzo door is guarded by a porter. In the interior courtyard, one finds quiet beauty and ancient frescoes. Guests walk up one story or take the elevator and enter a hall leading to a large L-shaped living room (with extra sleeping for one person) and a dining room area. In the living room are a phone (with American adapter for laptop connector) and satellite-TV with VCR. From the dining room one enters the completely equipped kitchen with marble counters, gas stove, oven, refrigerator with freezer, microwave, dishwasher, clothes washer and table with chairs. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has a four-poster queen-sized bed with en suite bathroom with bathtub. The second bedroom has 2 single beds facing end to end (vs. side by side) and a tiny balcony on a courtyard (not special, rather just for light). The second bathroom, which is accessed from the hall, has a shower.

The apartment is spacious and comfortable with 9 ft. ceilings and large rooms. It is entirely private and utterly charming with terra cotta tiled floors and wood-beamed ceilings. Windows are double-glazed and have marble sills. The furnishings are beautiful, newly restored antiques from the family, and the architect-owner has taken care to use her impeccable taste to create an elegant and historical space and at the same time to provide modern comforts. Rooms are air conditioned in the summer and well heated in the winter.

Guests also may use the furnished roof top terrace where there is a small house with sink. Here are found potted plants and really wonderful views of rooftops and monuments in this ancient section of Rome.
