Spagna Penthouse near the Spanish Steps
Three Bedrooms and Three Bathrooms, Sleeps 5
Glorious Terrace
Elegance and luxury near the Spanish Steps
in Rome describe this lovely penthouse with three
bedrooms and an expansive terrace.
This is the Rome of
your dreams: a gorgeous apartment in the most
upscale, centrally located neighborhood in the
historic center of Rome. When we first saw this
apartment we had to pinch ourselves to make sure
we weren't dreaming. An elegant three bedroom,
three bathroom apartment with an expansive
terrace, beautiful decor and only steps from the
famous Piazza di Spagna. Yes, it's really as good
as all that and more! Named for the famous Piazza
di Spagna, the Spagna apartment is very special.
It is comparable to a five star hotel but more
spacious and private.
Location
The Piazza di
Spagna area is one of the most desirable in all of
Rome. This is a very chic location where you'll
see young and old alike rushing about to do their
shopping and, later in the afternoon, out for a
leisurely stroll decked out in their finest
Italian designer duds. The area is filled with
high end designer clothing, linen and fine
giftware boutiques.
Nearby is the International
Wine Academy of Rome where you can take a
course in wine appreciation to compliment your
stay in Rome.
Building
It is a spacious
and beautifully appointed home in a meticulously
maintained building with three bedrooms, three
bathrooms, an inviting terrace, and a private
balcony off the master bedroom. Every bedroom
opens onto a terrace or balcony. Situated in an
elegant fully restored palazzo on a small street
that is closed to through traffic just off the
historic Piazza di Spagna, or Spanish Steps, with
it's famous fountain and beautiful steps. It lies
near Via del Babuino and Via dei Greci. The
Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Via Veneto,
Borghese Gardens, and the Pantheon are all within
reach by foot. Excellent restaurants, cafes, and
shopping in the immediate neighborhood make this
apartment a special home for a special Rome
vacations. The building itself is immaculate, with
an elevator and doorman during business hours.
Spagna is an ample 180 square
meters, 1930 sq. ft., and is located on the fourth
floor U.S. (third floor European).
Interior
Description
A nicely appointed
entry way greets you as you enter the apartment
and opens onto a living room which is comfortably
furnished with double sofas and two upholstered
armchairs. Fine antique end tables and writing
desks, softly draped silk curtains and wood floors
complete the refined look. Imagine sitting with
family or friends in this beautiful living room in your Roman home away from home. Another
great feature of this apartment is that it is very
quiet for sleeping at night. Noise is so often a
problem with city living, so finding a Roman
refuge that offers space, elegance, a wonderful
terrace and quiet is a tall order.
Opening off the
living room is the large terrace, a landscaped
outdoor living space that lets you celebrate the
joy of Mediterranean living. The terrace is an
outdoor room, where you're sure to while away many
hours al fresco, enjoying time relaxing while
knowing that the magic of Rome is at your
doorstep. A retractable, electric awning
offers refuge from the summer sun for leisurely
lunches or cocktail hours out-of-doors.
The dining room has
some beautiful Italian antique pieces and offers a
quiet, dramatic spot for more formal dinners,
seating up to 8 people. While you'll likely be
lured out each night to one of Rome's fine
trattorias, you have the option of preparing meals
in the well appointed kitchen and relaxing at
home.
The cozy master
bedroom has a king size bed, dresser, TV, closet
and a small balcony overlooking the interior
courtyard of the building. The marble master
bathroom has a whirlpool tub, telephone-style
shower, sink, toilet and bidet.
The second bedroom
is spacious, with two twin beds, a terrace door
that opens to the side of the large terrace. The
second bathroom is tiled in white and cheery green
tiles and has a large bathtub, sink, toilet and
bidet.
The third bedroom
has a single twin bed. It has two doors that open
out onto the terrace and two more onto the terrace
extension that runs past this bedroom and the twin
bedroom, letting in lots of light and
air. It is a wonderful room where you can have all
the privacy you need while gazing out onto the
glorious terrace. The third bathroom, tiled in white with
yellow accents, has a large enclosed shower, sink,
toilet, and bidet.
The kitchen is
fully equipped, a cook's kitchen, clean and highly functional. It has a
dishwasher, large American-style fridge/freezer,
4-burner gas stove, oven, and microwave. In
addition, the apartment has a washer, TV with
satellite dish, and air conditioning.
If you have a
larger party, you could also rent the Greci
apartment that is in the next building.
