It doesn’t get more Dolce Vita than this! Picture yourself relaxing on the verdant terrace in the heart of historic Rome. The beautifully appointed Sonata apartment is located on a small street just minutes from famous Campo de' Fiori, Piazza Navona and directly across the river from enchanting Trastevere. You could not be more central. 

Immerse yourself in Roman history, culture, and dining from this coveted location. Indulge in a cappuccino and sweet maritozzo at Roscioli Caffe’ in the morning, explore the sites with museum-going, tours, dine to your heart’s delight at any of the many fabulous restaurants in the neighborhood. Nearby shopping on chic Via dei Coronari, Via del Governo Vecchio or Via Giulia where the Italian artistry of fine clothing, antiques, leather goods and jewelry is on display.

The building dates back to the 1400’s, one can only imagine the history its walls have witnessed.

The Sonata apartment will make your heart sing with its warm and elegant design mixed with features that incorporate original beamed ceilings and Juliette balconies. Wall niches dating back centuries that were discovered hidden behind the walls during the renovation and now bookshelves, all of which blends beautifully into the careful and tasteful design. The color palette was inspired by the rich colors inside the church directly across the street, Santa Maria in Monticelli. Be sure to stop in to admire it while you’re there.

The living area just off the kitchen is a place to gather and discuss the day. The terrace will be your outdoor living room during the many months of the year when Rome’s Mediterranean climate prevails.

The kitchen is meticulously designed and appointed, with top-of-the-line appliances.
