As beautiful as the city of Rome may be, you can’t deny that it can sometimes feel a little bit hectic. The bustling streets and traffic are of course all part of its charm, but what if serenity is at the top of your list? This delightful apartment is set in a house from which you can drive to sights like the Spanish Steps in just twenty minutes, while living in a garden retreat. Set over two floors, this spacious home features elements of classic Italian opulence, mixed in with a modern edge. An enormous window (with views of leafy greenery) illuminates the living space, where rich hardwood flooring and antique-style dining chairs offer traditional elegance. But the L-shaped sofa and glass table-top say otherwise. And to keep you occupied in this peaceful house, make the most of the library, an iMac, projector, and Naim Muso stereo. Or you can head out to the terrace – there’s no better spot for sipping primitivo. A sophisticated set of wrought-iron dining chairs line the patio, alongside a table where you can serve up fresh, Italian cuisine. The lush lawns of this garden also play host to a barbecue and a fire pit, so you... can spend balmy evenings out here until the stars come out.
