Arcaded and Colonnaded
Open the door into this top-notch Roman getaway and you’ll be dazzled by its arcaded, colonnaded living room where leaded- and stained-glass windows add to the many luxuries from days gone by. History is found around every corner in this opulent attic perch, a glamorous Roman hideaway showcasing ornate coffered ceilings, gilded frescoes, a stately entry hall, and a personal chef and concierge at your service.
Prestigious and well-preserved, this elegant apartment by Antonio Marincola of Studio Marincola Architects occupies the top floor of a prestigious historical building and offers a rare, fully furnished roof deck with views over Rome’s rooftops and cobbled streets.
Parquet wood floors click underfoot, softened by trim area rugs, and rooms are well appointed and elegant. This a glossy, glamorous space with a little bit of a lacquered, James Bond-ish feeling to it. Bedrooms and ensuite baths are neat, wainscoted and white, with black-tie accents in lamps, framed artwork and tidy side tables. As rarified as its interior feels, the real showpiece of this vacation home rental in Rome is the roof terrace that gives it its name. Located up a richly patinaed stairwell, the luxurious terrace offers a partially enclosed outdoor lounge and bar with a view onto the buzzing streets and alleyways of Rome below.
AROUND
Set a 15-minute walk from Trevi Fountain and Piazza di Spagna, this luxurious upper-level perch overlooks Rioni Monte, a central district of ancient Rome beloved for its small alleys, cobbled streets and church-anchored, fountain-dotted squares as well as its 19th-century residential zones. The neighborhood is so named for its location covering several of Rome’s famed seven hills, among them Celio, Esquilino, and Viminale. The district includes ancient archaeological sites such as the vast Trajan’s Markets that date from AD 100, and Nero’s Domus Aurea, in addition to low-key trattorias, hip wine stops, and cool, thoughtfully curated boutiques.
Primarily residential, the neighborhood also offers large commercial thoroughfares and even encompasses a former red light district that is now a bohemian and creative hotspot in the area. The heart of the neighborhood is the Piazza Madonna dei Monti, near the church of the same name. A favorite gathering spot of locals, the small square is a great place for people watching and enjoying il dolce far niente. This vacation home rental in Rome is a great base for visiting its top tourist destinations, with the Forum, Colosseum, the Spanish Steps and the Pantheon all within walking distance.
