So much to appreciate in this modern, well appointed apartment in a special part in the center of Rome.
Location: The location is near the ancient Ponte Sisto bridge for a stroll across the Tiber River to Trastevere. Exciting Campo de’ Fiori is a 4-minute walk and fabled Piazza Navona 5 minutes farther. The area is rich with dining options and shops. History runs deep in nearby Largo Argentina where Julius Caesar met his end. Just beyond is the Ancient Jewish quarter. The Island in the Tiber is your landmark.
Interior: Comfort and quality speak out when you stay here. Furniture, appliances and the decorative details echo proud Italian design.
The living room area has a sofa and arm chair with a large smart TV. Comfortable! It adjoins the open dining area and kitchen that is fully equipped with modern appliances. A balcony overlooks the neighborhood.
One of the bedrooms has a comfortable for two plus a single bed. There is a handy workspace here.
The bright second bedroom with has a very cool bathroom with beautiful gold inlay tiles and a steam room!
Neighborhood: The interesting arrangement of buildings around a courtyard, now used for parking, echoes millennia of active use. The courtyard and the neighborhood were defined in the first century by the Emperor Domitian. As the city evolved, the palaces/buildings that were used for homes, warehouses and offices rose and fell again and again, preserving the building locations and streets that carry you even today to the important Roman locations. The Ponte Sisto bridge nearby (now pedestrian) to Trastevere has spanned the River Tiber for millennia. For a peek into the past, an excavation into ancient Roman rooms below this area revealed rooms, arches, mosaics and a column from the ancient ages. It is seldom open but enjoy photos by searching online for images of Insula di San Paola alla Regola for a wonderful dive into the history of this area. Savor a Roman meal at Osteria Romana di Simmi nearby and ask if you may visit their own Roman era rooms below. The neighborhood church Santissima Trinita dei Pellegrini offers the rare Catholic Mass in Latin.
