Viola

Enjoy

A generously-size, comfortable and beautiful apartment in the historic center of Rome, only a 5 minute walk to Piazza Navona!

Location

The location of the Viola apartment is prime historic center, perfectly located for exploring all that the Eternal city has to offer. Tucked away on a wonderful historic piazza lined with buildings that harken back to the 15th and 16th centuries with impressive papal and noble pedigrees. We like this area because you can wander about and with each turn find yet another fascinating, picturesque or impressive palazzo, church, quaint alleyway. There are plenty of wonderful restaurants and cafes too, you'll be spoilt for choice.

Exterior

Located in a 15th century building, one of the oldest and most historic in the area, the small piazza is a slice of Roman life. Mothers dropping children off at school, neighbors catching up on the latest gossip, tourists ambling along enjoying the sites.

Interior

The airy Viola is a bright, updated, well appointed and inviting apartment. Large French windows in the living room bring in lots of light, illuminating interesting artwork and gleaming cotta tile floors. Relax on roomy modern sofas in the living room. The dining room comfortably seats 8 and has a dramatic, beautiful open beamed ceiling. There is also a dining table in the remodeled, fully equipped kitchen. Pretty beamed ceilings enhance the ambiance of the kitchen and a large window over the kitchen sink brings in plenty of light and also affords a nice view of the attractive buildings across the way. The whole apartment is lovely and well decorated, fresh & clean with all the modern conveniences.

The apartment is great for families or friends because all three bedrooms are comparably sized and each has its own bathroom, so no "drawing straws" for who gets the best bedroom, everyone will be happy!
