Description Ode to Barberini: Roma

We were sold on the private terrace at this bang-on central Rome apartment alone – and that was before we’d even seen the interiors. Set within a 17th-century building, the home’s 13-foot vaulted ceilings make a grand first impression. It’s worth noting, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the second bedroom here. But the thoughtful extras more than make up for that. There’s a dedicated desk in the main bedroom for remote working and a mini bar primed for evening aperitifs. Tucked along a peaceful street, it’s hard to believe the best of Rome is right on your doorstep. Take your pick from Piazza Barberini or the Trevi Fountain – it’s all just a short stroll away.

Home truths:
*This apartment is not suitable for children under two years.
*The last two guests will share a sofa bed in the second bedroom, which offers direct access to the terrace.
*If you're travelling for work, there’s a dedicated desk in the primary bedroom.
