Property 288

Location and Surrounding Area

Just a few kilometers from the heart of Rome and the most exclusive dining, shopping, and entertainment options, this elegant five-bedroom villa is the perfect place for a stylish break in one of the most romantic cities in the world. With a peaceful location, many of Rome’s most famous attractions are within easy reach, just a short taxi ride away. It would take weeks to see all that the city has to offer, but a few days is enough to explore Rome’s most beautiful sites.

This exclusive property is just a few kilometers from the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum, the ancient center of the civil and religious life of the city. The well-preserved ruins make it the most memorable attraction for many visitors to Rome. The Trevi Fountain, the world’s most famous fountain, is a Baroque explosion of tritons, winged horses and drinking snakes, and its water glitters with thousands of coins that tourists have tossed in.

The Colosseum is the biggest amphitheater ever built and the most eloquent symbol of Imperial Rome. Half circus, half sports arena, Rome’s most famous classical ruin is unmissable, especially now that they have extended the visitor route to the underfloor passageways through which gladiators and wild beasts made their entrances. The villa is also a few kilometers from the Pantheon, the city’s best preserved ancient temple and a must for any first visit to Rome.

From here, head to Piazza Navona, a magnificent square with a fountain by Bernini and a popular gathering point for Romans with its bustling terraced cafés and seasonal fairgrounds. The villa is also a few kilometers from the Sistine Chapel and the Roman sculpture-and-sarcophagi-stuffed Vatican Museums, which are normally top of a first-time visitor’s bucket list. Your journey is not complete without a visit to St. Peter's Square and St. Peter's Basilica, one of the largest churches ever built.
