If you want to discover hidden Rome, this elegant penthouse in lively Trastevere is perfect. Head to Piazza di Santa Maria, just a five-minute stroll away, where you'll find the 12th-century Basilica di Santa Maria with its stunning Cavallini mosaics. Or, it's under a half an hour walk to the iconic Trevi Fountain. Back at your apartment, French colonial antiques meld with the owner's Parisian heritage and the Roman atmosphere. Have a coffee in the conservatory or take a seat on the roof terrace for views of the neighbourhood – it's the perfect place to have a chilled glass of Italian wine. This place is full of soul and, with all the colours and plants, it's a festival for the senses. After a busy day, get some rest on the beautiful four-poster bed and dream of the wonderful Eternal City.
