Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This comfortable apartment is tucked away on a quiet cobblestone street in the heart of Rome. Just one minute on foot from the Spanish Steps and Piazza di Spagna, it couldn’t be more convenient for seeing the sights of the city. It’s a lively area so you might need to pack earplugs, but you’re in the thick of things, surrounded by bars, restaurants, shops, and world-famous tourist spots. The apartment is on the second floor of a 17th-century building, and there’s no lift so we recommend packing light.

Local guide
About Spagna
Spagna is, perhaps unsurprisingly, focussed around the eponymous Piazza di Spagna. Along with the Trevi fountain, it’s one of the most visited sights in the entire city. Things weren’t always so auspicious – in the 16th century, the area was Rome’s red light district, but today it’s better known for the vine-covered romance of Via Margutta, home to Gregory Peck's impoverished journalist in Roman Holiday. This is not the place...
