Positioned between the Spanish Steps and the Pantheon, this apartment is a hidden gem. It’s housed in a famous palazzo with a beautiful courtyard, right in the heart of Rome’s historic centre. The apartment boasts remarkable views of the Eternal City, which can be admired from the balcony, terrace, and from the third-floor tower-like living room. When you’re not admiring the vista, you’ll appreciate the comfort this home offers – everything you need is close to hand, though there are quite a few stairs to navigate.

Local guide
About Spagna
Spagna is, perhaps unsurprisingly, focussed around the eponymous Piazza di Spagna. Along with the Trevi fountain, it’s one of the most visited sights in the entire city. Things weren’t always so auspicious – in the 16th century, the area was Rome’s red light district, but today it’s better known for the vine-covered romance of Via Margutta, home to Gregory Peck's impoverished journalist in Roman Holiday. This is not the place...
