Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Finding a high-style penthouse apartment this close to the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica is one thing. But to bag yourself a place with an all-too-rare rooftop terrace to boot? Now you're onto a winner. Inside, this luxurious bolthole hides a few surprises too. Alongside sleek architectural treasures (would you look at those marble-clad walls), you'll also discover some showstopping frescos nodding to the Renaissance era. While a chromotherapy hot tub bath and sauna shower are firmly planted in the 21st century. Start your morning on the sunny veranda with freshly brewed coffees and the papers, then hop in the hot tub to kick start your day. Once you're spick and span and ready to hit Rome's streets, blaze a trail to the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica, just a three-kilometre walk away, or just a smidge further, the mighty Colosseum. Or, for a more authentic taste of Roman city life, keep things local in the Aurelio neighborhood with an amble through Rome's largest park, Villa Doria Pamphili (just 900 metres away) – a local's favourite place to escape the city noise and bustle. Then dive into the countless bars and pizzerias dotted about the streets of Aurelio – you'll be... in for a warm welcome.

Local guide
About Aurelio
Despite its proximity to the Vatican, Aurelio is still often overlooked by Romans and tourists alike, only mentioned as the butt of the joke. However, it has more to offer than most would believe. A bustling residential district, it has plenty of local haunts with the clientele spilling out onto the street, as well as several green squares and a Russian Orthodox church, Santa Caterina Martire. It’s worth noting that some parts can be hard to reach, even with public transport, and it becomes less prepossessing as you head further north or west.
