Packed with curiosities that reflect the eye of a globetrotter, vintage furniture combined with modern staples and a knockout view of St Peter’s Basilica, this home certainly stands out from the crowd. The level of care your host has put into the interior is impressive. Every last detail is considered, from the linens to the layout and the state-of-the-art whirlpool bathtub with colour therapy and audio system. The east-facing balcony is soaked with sunshine in the mornings, so breakfast alfresco and take your time with a cup of coffee. Your apartment is situated in the upmarket Prati district, a ten-minute walk from trendy wine bars, luxe boutiques and gourmet restaurants. Reach the hallowed edifices of Vatican City in thirty minutes by foot or ten minutes by taxi. And the towering Castel Sant'Angelo is a twenty-five-minute walk away or thirteen-minute bus ride.
