Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Recently renovated but with plenty of its original style, you might not be surprised when we tell you this artist-designed home is making a name for itself – it even recently appeared in the pages of Marie Claire. There's so much to love here – the large rooms with high ceilings create a sense of grandeur, while the book-adorned walls speak for themselves. If you love the interior as much as we do, book a private chef with the host to make the most of your stay. Outside won't disappoint, though – the home's location in the well-heeled Politeama-Libertà area means you'll find great eateries and boutiques nearby.
