Frattina Apartments in Rome
In the Spanish Steps area of
Rome, you can enjoy
every comfort in these first class apartments in a
historic palazzo. The building is convenient to
all the great shopping, history, architecture, and
art of Rome.
This La Dolce Vita territory!
This Roman palazzo is a two
minute walk from the Spanish Steps. When you enter, you will find
the elevator up fifteen steps. You cannot be more centrally located, two
minutes to the Spanish Steps and the entire quarter
is replete with historic location such as the
Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Piazza del Popolo, the
Trevi fountain, and the Via Veneto.
The streets of
fashion, this is one of the most fashionable shopping district in Europe
with Gucci, Armani, Prada, Bulgari, Valentino and
more right out the front door of your palazzo. You
are close to a hub of Rome's bus system and also
to the Metro which has a station behind the
Spanish Steps.
Consider the pleasure of roaming the streets of
the Eternal City and passing back by your
apartment to drop off packages, grab a snack or a
nap and then stepping outside again to explore
some more. With a whole to occupy, you
aren't bound by the four walls of a hotel room,
but can spread out and get some time alone,
too. If you are an early riser, you can stroll
or jog by the fabled monuments in the neighborhood
before the average tourist has arrived.
For day-to-day shopping, Via Bocca di Leone
nearby has several fresh fruit and vegetable
stands, there are three supermarkets within just a
few blocks.
The quarter is full of dining choices from
tavola caldas for take out our an informal meal to
some of the finest restaurants in Rome.
The first class apartments are all well
furnished and maintained. Windows are insulated for quiet, and during the
warm summer months, you will appreciate the air
conditioning.
Several apartments together can, with advance planning,
be
reserved together to accommodate a family reunion.
We have personally inspected this property. Our
evaluation is:
- Clean, and comfortable
apartments.
- The location is fantastic,
right in the heart of fashionable and historic
Rome.
- Some mattresses are not new and
the patterned rather than white sheets don't
give as nice an effect, in my opinion. I have
bad reports on the mattress in the master
bedroom in Gina.
- These are good value apartments,
less expensive than most that we represent in
the area.
- There is a full flight of steps to reach the
elevator which is small and a little cranky;
you have to close it just so.
- The electrical systems offer
the standard wattage allowed by law in Italy,
meaning that if you are running the air
conditioner, you need to be careful about what
other appliances are operating.
- Water pressure and hot water
can be limited. Water pressure is a city-wide
problem.
- The manager can be testy and
although often helpful, not always in the best
spirits.
- The appliances are typically
confusing, be sure to get an explanation from
the manager.
