With arresting views of Castel Sant'Angelo, and completely surrounded by some of the most iconic tourist attractions, this home is a must for anyone looking to explore all that Rome has to offer. A ten minute walk across Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II – a historic bridge originally built to connect the city of Rome to the Vatican – and the River Tiber, will take you straight to the renaissance St. Peter's Basilica. Speaking of renaissance, there’s also a Leonardo DaVince experience at his dedicated museum a six-minute walk away. With plenty more on your doorstep, including cafes and restaurants that are perfect for not only sampling local cuisine, but also observing the Italian lifestyle, you won’t find yourself short on things to do. Even though beauty can be found wherever you go out on the streets of Rome, the home itself has a fair share to offer as well. Out on the terrace, we encourage you to watch the sunrise over the castle, and city beyond, from the comfort of the hammock, and when you’re not dining out, every meal can be enjoyed alfresco. There’s also a long balcony, adorned with begonias and geraniums, that you can hunker down on... when you need some time for yourself. Spread over two floors, and with plenty of outdoor space, there’ll be more than enough room from everyone to claim a nook, albeit for reading, cooking, sketching, or catching up on series.
