Colomba Photo Tour

Home Landini Rome Apartments Florence Tuscany Venice

	Exquisite taste and beautiful art come together in the noble Colomba apartment. The formal living room features two sofas and two arm chairs as well as a card table. Two large window bathe the room in light.

	With the icon of Rome, the Coliseum, at the end of your street, you know you are living your Roman dream. In between your rooftop terrace, the ages of Rome are arrayed with a medieval tower and the dome of a baroque church among terracotta tile rooftops and rooftop gardens.
	Your terrace is a garden itself with space to soak up the sun, dine and just relax in the sun or shaded gazebo. No building in the city rises above seven stories, the height of your terrace, so your view of the Eternal City is unobstructed.
	Enjoy your terrace aerie in full sun or in the shade of the vine-entwined gazebo.
	If you must come in from the sun, elegant comfort invites you to enjoy a truly unique apartment. The living room is filled with fine art for your enjoyment. The studio/den can be seen through the arched doorways.
	Peach and tan walls are reflected in the gelato colored sofas and arm chairs. The stairs rise to the rooftop terrace. Note that this is a staircase making it easy to bring up your meal for dining al fresco.
	Another perspective of the studio/den out the large French doors that admit wonderful light.
	Delightful grouping of paintings in the living room.
	The dining room is spacious and, like all the rooms, features one of the most charming discoveries in this apartment, the painted walls. The owner is an artist who specializes in murals, trompe l'oeil and painted highlights. You can see the room colors carefully picked out in the outlining on the door panels.
	The spacious kitchen with pretty contrasting colors. Notice the trompe l'oeil open door and drawer on the hutch. The paintings and little teasers such as this delight your explorations of the Colomba apartment.
	The master bedroom with a king sized bed features an original mural and trompe l'oeil painting. The Madonna and Child painting is, however, an oil masterpiece from centuries past.
	The master bedroom has its own balcony overlooking Via dei Serpenti. It has a small television and a built-in air conditioner.
	Romantic master bathroom has both a shower and tub.
	More trompe l'oeil lends charm in an already lovely room.

	The twin bedroom beds are placed end-to-end forming a comfortable, long sofa. This room, too, has a balcony overlooking Via dei Serpenti.
	The third bedroom is a symphony in greens. It has a single bed. The closet doors are hand-painted.
	A majestic fountain is the centerpiece of the Monti neighborhood in Piazza Santa Maria dei Monti, steps from Colomba. The neighborhood water fountain, the nasone, is on the left side of the photo. Not many years ago this was where everyone fetched their water. The nasones run constantly ensuring a flow through the Roman sewers. The whole system, from the aqueduct-fed spouts to the sewers, was invented by the Romans. A nice joke is to ask your companion to help you turn off the running water at the nasone.
	The Monti district is bordered by the Coliseum (see it at the end of the street in this photo), the Roman Forum, Santa Maria Maggiore, St. Peter in Chains and the important thoroughfare of Via Nazionale. Many sights are within walking distance but if you wish to spare your feet, the little, electric 117 bus does a great job of carrying you to other famous locations as does the subway line from the station on Via Cavour.
	The neighborhood flower vendor brightens her nearby street corner.
	The closest market is this Minimarket, a five minute walk, with a companion fruit and vegetable seller. You can't get a better window on the pace of life of the neighborhood than by taking a prolonged coffee at the cafe/bar next door.
	The interesting and colorful offerings of the local housewares and hardware store spill onto the street.
	Every weekday morning you can find fresh food of every kind in the local Mercato Rionale, the neighborhood open market, that is less than a five minute walk away. Vendors come in from the countryside with the freshest of foods.
	Newsvendor's kiosk flanked by several of the many restaurants that are found in this very Roman neighborhood. There is a lively night life fed by the restaurants and people come here from all over the city. The neighborhood council keeps a tight rein on disruptive elements that have made Trastevere somewhat less desirable of late.
	Tempted?
	The neighborhood streets are adorned with green plants and vines and a pretty, shiny red motorcycle!
	Peek into hidden courtyards.
	Monti is traditionally a neighborhood of crafts. Traditional crafts such as woodworking persists. A new generation of craftspeople display art of all kinds in small shops throughout the neighborhood that is experiencing gentrification on a large scale. The population is an urban mix.
