Property 1637597808 - Rome

6 Bedrooms - Jacuzzi

Location and Surrounding Area. This stunning apartment is epitome of sheer luxury and total privacy right in the heart of Rome in the legendary piazza of the Spanish Steps. This magnificent set of 135 steps links Piazza di Spagna at the bottom with the Trinità dei Monti Church at the top. This property would make an ideal base for a large group to explore the magic of the Eternal City. The Spanish Steps were immortalized in the 1953 film Roman Holiday starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck and it is still a place where lovers sit and marvel at the beauty of the surrounding buildings and maybe make a wish at the stunning Barcaccia Fountain below. The Steps, as the locals call them, also featured in the 1999 film version of The Talented Mr Ripley starring Matt Damon. And as if that wasn't enough, the English poet John Keats lived and died in the house on the corner at the bottom of the steps and the building has been turned into a museum dedicated to his life and works.

Rome is a city dripping with history; from the wonders of Michelangelo's artwork in the Sistine Chapel to the Colosseum and Imperial Forum, there is so much to see and do. The city was relatively undamaged during the Second World war and as such, the centre remains essentially renaissance and baroque in character. Not to be missed is a coffee in the famous Piazza Navona and the quintessential Campo de' Fiori with its statue of the philosopher and mathematician Giordano Bruno in the centre. The nearby Pantheon is perhaps one of Ancient Rome's best preserved buildings and the dome remains today, even after 2000 years, the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.

The apartment is located in Piazza di Spagna, next to via Condotti, which is Rome's exclusive, designer shopping street and is within reasonable walking distance of the Vatican, Piazza Farnese, Campo dei Fiori, Piazza Navona, the Botanical Gardens, Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere and Villa la Farnesina with its spectacular frescoes by Raffaello. The apartment is well-served by public transport and is only about an hour's drive from both Ciampino and Fiumicino international airports. There are also regular bus and train services from the airports to the city centre. The apartment is a two minute walk from Spagna metro station and seven minutes from the Trevi Fountain.
