Mauve Melody

Sitting within a historic building dating back to 1949 – designed by architect Angelo di Castro – this stylish apartment is just the ticket for those looking for a bright, comfortable stay within easy reach of the city’s main sights.

Bold pops of colour and contemporary furnishings come together in the open-plan living area which is given a dazzling shine thanks to the large windows and French doors opening out onto a private balcony. Start mornings here with a hot cup of coffee as you look out over your elegant Sallustiano neighbourhood or sip an evening spritz at sunset while watching the city's lights twinkle.

The bedroom is a sophisticated space that’s been carefully curated with rest in mind, while the gleaming bathroom will get your day off on the right foot thanks to its luxurious rainfall shower.

When it comes to sightseeing, head for Villa Borghese and its wonderfully manicured gardens (a thirteen-minute walk) or make a beeline for the Trevi Fountain (a twenty-two-minute walk). You’re also just four minutes away on foot from the Michelangelo-designed Porta Pia, while Villa Patrizi is a ten-minute stroll from your door.
