With a stunning location just on the edge of the Villa Borghese Gardens, this bright and comfortable apartment puts you in a prime spot from which to explore Rome’s most famous sights. High ceilings, herringbone floors and tall windows provide an air of grandeur in the open-plan living room where ample seating invites you to kick back and relax with a glass of Italian wine and an elegant dining table beckons fresh espressos each morning and celebratory evening meals. The two bedrooms with their beautifully dressed beds are stylish spaces curated with comfort in mind, while the pair of tiled en-suites are sure to get any day off to a relaxing start with their rainfall showers. Your host offers a plethora of luxury services – whether that’s arranging champagne and flowers for a special occasion or organising massages, personal trainers and guided city tours. But if you decide to strike out on your own for a day of adventure, you needn’t go far before finding the city’s iconic sights. Walk three minutes for a stroll around Villa Borghese or climb the Spanish Steps, a thirteen-minute walk away. You’re also a fifteen-minute walk from the famous Trevi Fountain, while... Piazza Navona is twenty-five minutes on foot from your door.
