I had a wonderful stay at Livinia’s gorgeous apartment. It’s one of the most beautiful places I have stayed and truly special. The apartment is thoughtfully and very tastefully decorated and has everything you might need. Also the Palazzo in which the apartment resides is historically significant, has a wonderful garden with incredible statues and was a truly peaceful escape from the busy streets of Rome after a long day.
Livinia is very kind and accommodated an early check-in for us. Also she was very quick to respond to any questions and provided some fantastic local recommendation.
One challenge was only have one key to the front door of the building. If you are staying with a partner or friend you will need to be glued at the hip after 10pm in the evening and on Sundays when the doorman is not present and he does not allow any guests. I had a friend stop by for a glass of wine and he was turned away by the doorman.
Finally, the apartment is in the nicest part of Rome near Piazza di Spagna (aka the Spanish Steps), every luxury store (Hermès, Gucci, Cartier and many more) and most importantly within walking distance of every major site in Rome.
Definitely a 5 star stay!
