The apartment is stylishly furnished with stylish contemporary pieces, adorned with gilt mirrors and glistening chandeliers, and decorated in crisp, sharp whites with subtle shades of grey and hints of blues.
Take the elevator to the fourth floor, then walk up a flight of stairs to reach your holiday home from home. The open-plan living space is light, bright, and airy, with doors opening onto the panoramic city-view terrace. The seating area has a large comfy white sofa, two matching armchairs, a deep cushioned seat and pouffe arranged around a coffee table, facing a flat-screen television, gold-framed mirrors, and an open, wood-burning fire, perfect for those cooler months and evenings. The round dining table takes centre stage in the apartment, making for some splendid indoor dining. The large dove grey kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest built-in appliances you will need for your holiday. There is a four-seater dining set with Philippe Starck perspex chairs, ideal for meeting for breakfast.
The first bedroom has a queen size bed and a picture window view of the terrace and city skyline. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and ensuite bathroom, and the third is a twin room with two single beds. There is a shared bathroom with a bathtub, and a guest cloakroom completes this floor’s accommodation. Take the internal staircase to the upper level, where you will find a cosy studio furnished with a single bed and private roof terrace, complete with a swing chair and soft seating spot.
The spacious, city-view terracotta tiled terrace is the star of the show, populated with potted plants and shrubs; it’s a sanctuary after a hard day’s shopping and sightseeing. Relax on the wrought iron deep cushioned seating set and admire the view over morning coffee and sunset cocktails. Lie on the laid-back sun loungers and bathe in the hot summer sun. Dine alfresco under a cerulean blue sky at the eight-seater dining set, and raise a glass of Prosecco to the most memorable holiday.
Terracotta Terrace Apartment can be found near the famous Spanish Steps in the heart of central Rome, the capital city of Italy. The apartment is just sixteen kilometres from Rome's international Leonardo Da Vinci Airport, which can be reached by taxi or direct train. The central Roma Termini train station is five minutes by the metro to Spagna station; hop into a cab, or pre-book a transfer with the concierge team.
There is something for everyone to enjoy when you holiday in Rome, whether it's ancient history, architecture, renaissance art, culture, food, shopping, and fashion, the Eternal City has got a lot. Step outside the apartment, and nearby is the iconic Piazza di Spagna; enjoy a cappuccino in the bustling square of Piazza Barberini, then make a wish at the famous sculpted marble Trevi fountain. Everywhere you go, there are ornate churches, rich with decorative icons, don't miss a visit to the nearby Santissima Trinita dei Monti, a Roman Catholic late Renaissance church above the Spanish Steps.
Soak up the history of the city at The Pantheon, the Roman Forum, and the ancient Colosseum, all within walking distance. Meander through the Vatican Museum art collection to see Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling, the double helix staircase, and the cityscape vista from the rooftop terraces before a visit to the Basilica of St Peter. Go to the Borghese Gallery, set in a landscaped garden, housing an incredible collection of Canova's marble sculptures. On the stroll back, stop at Harry's Bar for a Bellini, then walk down the Spanish steps and visit the Romantic poet Keat's house before sampling the English muffins at the famous Babington's Tea Rooms, which they've been serving since 1893.
Saunter down the uber-fabulous Via dei Condotti and window shop for world-famous designer-label fashion and meticulously hand-crafted leather handbags. Go to the city's outskirts and cross the Old Appian Way to discover the hidden treasures of the catacombs.
If you fancy an adventure out of Rome, the town of Tivoli is only thirty kilometres away, where you can visit Hadrian's Villa and the exquisite Villa D'Este. During the day, dine on freshly made pasta and homemade ice cream, eat alfresco in one of the many squares, sit back, and people watch as the world and the beautiful people pass by. In the evening, make your way to the foodie heaven of Trastevere, and taste the delights of Italian cooking in a traditional taverna, just like Nonna used to make!
