 Luxurious Terrace Garden

Elegance and luxury near the Spanish Steps in Rome describe this lovely penthouse with three bedrooms and an expansive terrace.

This is the Rome of your dreams: a gorgeous apartment in the most upscale, centrally located neighborhood in the historic center of Rome. When we first saw this apartment we had to pinch ourselves to make sure we weren't dreaming. An elegant three bedroom, three bathroom apartment with an expansive terrace, beautiful decor and only steps from the famous Piazza di Spagna. Yes, it's really as good as all that and more! Named for the famous Piazza di Spagna, the Spagna apartment is very special. It is comparable to a five star hotel but more spacious and private.

The Piazza di Spagna area is one of the most desirable in all of Rome. This is a very chic location where you'll see young and old alike rushing about to do their shopping and, later in the afternoon, out for a leisurely stroll decked out in their finest Italian designer duds. The area is filled with high end designer clothing, linen and fine giftware boutiques.

Nearby is the International Wine Academy of Rome where you can take a course in wine appreciation to compliment your stay in Rome.

It is a spacious and beautifully appointed home in a meticulously maintained building with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, an inviting terrace, and a private balcony off the master bedroom. Every bedroom opens onto a terrace or balcony. Situated in an elegant fully restored palazzo on a small street that is closed to through traffic just off the historic Piazza di Spagna, or Spanish Steps, with it's famous fountain and beautiful steps. It lies near Via del Babuino and Via dei Greci. The Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Via Veneto, Borghese Gardens, and the Pantheon are all within reach by foot. Excellent restaurants, cafes, and shopping in the immediate neighborhood make this apartment a special home for a special Rome vacations. The building itself is immaculate, with an elevator and doorman during business hours. Spagna is an ample 180 square meters, 1930 sq. ft., and is located on the fourth floor U.S. (third floor European).

A nicely appointed entry way greets you as you enter the apartment and opens onto a living room which is comfortably furnished with double sofas and two upholstered armchairs. Fine antique end tables and writing desks, softly draped silk curtains and wood floors complete the refined look. Imagine sitting with family or friends in this beautiful living room in your Roman home away from home. Another great feature of this apartment is that it is very quiet for sleeping at night. Noise is so often a problem with city living, so finding a Roman refuge that offers space, elegance, a wonderful terrace and quiet is a tall order.

Opening off the living room is the large terrace, a landscaped outdoor living space that lets you celebrate the joy of Mediterranean living. The terrace is an outdoor room, where you're sure to while away many hours al fresco, enjoying time relaxing while knowing that the magic of Rome is at your doorstep. A retractable, electric awning offers refuge from the summer sun for leisurely lunches or cocktail hours out-of-doors.

The dining room has some beautiful Italian antique pieces and offers a quiet, dramatic spot for more formal dinners, seating up to 8 people. While you'll likely be lured out each night to one of Rome's fine trattorias, you have the option of preparing meals in the well appointed kitchen and relaxing at home.

The cozy master bedroom has a king size bed, dresser, TV, closet and a small balcony overlooking the interior courtyard of the building. The marble master bathroom has a whirlpool tub, telephone-style shower, sink, toilet and bidet. Fluffy bathrobes.

The second bedroom is spacious, with two twin beds, a terrace door that opens to the side of the large terrace. The second bathroom is tiled in white and cheery green tiles and has a large bathtub, sink, toilet and bidet.

The third bedroom has a single twin bed. It has two doors that open out onto the terrace and two more onto the terrace extension that runs past this bedroom and the twin bedroom, letting in lots of light and air. It is a wonderful room where you can have all the privacy you need while gazing out onto the glorious terrace. The third bathroom, tiled in white with yellow accents, has a large enclosed shower, sink, toilet, and bidet.

The kitchen is fully equipped, a cook's kitchen, clean and highly functional. It has a dishwasher, large American-style fridge/freezer, 4-burner gas stove, oven, and microwave. In addition, the apartment has a washer, TV with satellite dish, and air conditioning.

If you have a larger party, you could also rent the Greci apartment that is in the next building.
