Donatella’s apartment used to be a penthouse disco in the 60’s. That explains the rarity of walls that are all windows with an exceptional view of the entire territory. Do not miss the romance of sunrise/sunset or the twinkle of lights at night. No hiking up to this exceptional viewpoint, there is an elevator. The apartment is tastefully
decorated with every imaginable amenity. Washer/dryer - yup, separate wine fridge - got that, cute shared patio area you can hang delicate laundry, the mother of all welcome snacks in the form of pasta/sauce/and all the stuff you need to make a tasty dish plus fruit. So good. Another nice thing about the apartment, aside of great amenities, is that it is super clean. They really should advertise the place as a penthouse with a killer view. There is a lot of green space nearby for picnics and the Appian way for bike rides. I took a walk to the Colosseum and adjoining ruins from the apartment. So many great tourist sites nearby or you can take the tram and pop up to Trevi and the Spanish Steps. There are lots of good restaurants and take out places within steps. I had the perfect porchetta sandwich one block down and across the street. To wrap up, the real gems are Donatella and her daughter Livia. Such generous, beautiful women who are full of life. I felt lucky to stay there
