This apartment is ideally located in the charming Centro Storico, between the Vatican just over the river and Ancient Rome to the east. The piazza Orologia is situated right next to the outstanding Chinese Nuova and just off the Corso Vittorio Emanuele II allowing easy access to a number of useful bus routes, which is a very handy and economical way of getting around, when you need a rest from walking. The apartment is in a mansion block that comprises the south side of the piazza. There are a lot of restaurants, cafes and bars near by. The block houses a variety of residential accommodation and educational establishments. Passing through a huge double door allowing vehicular access to the corridor through to the courtyard one takes a few steps up to the apartment. Through the door one is in the large living/dining area, the kitchen situated on the right and a sofa that converts into a bed on the left. The bathroom is through this room to the right. There is a sink, toilet, bidet and a shower that works well, with good water pressure. The bedroom is off to the left. The bed is very comfortable. The furnishings are sparse but charming and more than adequate for a holiday. The apartment is tiled throughout. The living/dining room and bedroom both have large period windows with shutters and secondary glazing, which let in plenty of light when required. The bathroom also has a good sized window. The heating works well, coming on in the mornings and evenings. We didn’t need to use the air conditioning. The apartment makes for a lovely bolt hole to come home to after a day out seeing the sights. I thoroughly recommend this apartment.
