Harking back to the grand aesthetic of eighteenth-century Italy, this remarkable apartment is all Rococo style antique furniture, original frescos, intricate coffered ceilings and rich walnut wood. Recline aristocratically on the sumptuous cream couch, nibbling olives, before waltzing out onto your private balcony—we can almost hear the plucked tones of a harpsichord in the distance. Continue your noble Italian daydream with a wander through the narrow cobbled streets, surrounded by the tall, stately buildings of the ancient Piazza Navona. And when you’re ready to return to the twenty-first century, drive ten minutes to the acclaimed National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art and spend indulgent evenings in Michelin Starred restaurants—Rome has twenty-three to choose from.

Local guide
About Navona
Stretching from Piazza Navona to the river, the area is one of the most atmospheric in the city. The Piazza, with its Bernini statues and Borromini church, is the main draw, but there are any number of golden palazzos, many with inner courtyards to explore. The area is sliced in two by Corso Vittorio Emmanuele, one of Rome's most frenetic roads, but you can dive down the nearest sides street...
