The apartment is in a former palace built on the remains of an ancient Roman theater - on the way up, look out the window and you can see a column that is the remnant of the theater. This is why you visit Rome!
The location is perfect - walk to Lago di Torre Argentina, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and the Capitoline Museum. You really are in the center of everything. Once you step into the courtyard, the noise of the street stops. And inside the apartment, you have views over the rooftops across the city. The only noise I heard at night were the seagulls.
The apartment is spotless and well-appointed. The beds were warm and comfortable and we loved having the upstairs suite to ourselves while the kids had the downstairs bedrooms. The ceilings are sloped, but with two of us at 6’6”, we managed fine. The rooftop shower is unique and really beautiful.
Across the street is Il Fornaio for pastries and coffee. For gelato, try Frigidarium.
This really was a very special stay for us.
