It’s clear that this penthouse is a special place as soon as you open the front door. Every feature of the home has been carefully curated, resulting in an eclectic, yet stylish aesthetic. There's a traditional air here, thanks to the sumptuous velvet sofa and the rustic wooden shutters, but there’s a real sense of fun to be found in the whimsical animal lamps and pretty patterned wallpaper. The annexe gives you some extra space to enjoy, and the roof terrace is an unusual but very welcome feature in the centre of the city. You'll love admiring the gorgeous views across the rooftops as you sip your morning coffee and nibble a croissant kindly provided by your host. They will provide basic cooking ingredients, such as oil and spices, but you'd rather eat out, then you are spoilt for choice in this pocket of Rome, with all the pizza and pasta restaurants you could dream of.
