Keywords: Apartment
Luxury apartment where you can enjoy a privileged life style appropriate to the finest neighborhood in Rome.
Location
On the corner of Via Condotti in Rome, the Renata apartment is in the heart of all that is elegant in the Eternal City. A two minute walk puts you in front of the Spanish Steps, a location that is so popular because it is so central. Stroll for 15 minutes and you can find yourself at most of the noteworthy sites of historic Rome.
Exterior
The building mirrors the neighborhood, a proper "palazzo" built about 250 years ago when the Princes Torlonia were amassing their fortunes by managing the fortunes of the Vatican and build the palace across the street.
The apartment is on the third floor (second, European designation) and adjoins the Valentina apartment that, if available, can be rented at the same time to sleep up to eleven people, one of whom would occupy the sofa-bed in Renata.
Interior
Spacious and quiet elegance typify this fine apartment. Two large windows light the living room overlook Via Bocca di Leona.
Two white sofas are grouped by the working fireplace that features stonework from the ancestral home in southern Italy. The hand-hewn ceiling beams have been exposed to display the room as it was originally designed. Also in the living room are some fine antique pieces, a sideboard, and a dining table that will seat six. The living room has a television with satellite reception. The apartment is wired for high-speed internet.
One sofa converts to a bed for one person.
The flow is from the entry to living room or to down the hall to one bedroom. Off of the living room, one enters a small hall that leads to either the second bedroom or the kitchen.
The floors are tile with carefully selected patterns.
From the entry way, you can enter a bedroom suite that has twin beds that may be combined as a wide queen. The room has a set of square-framed antique prints above the bed and across the room the design is balanced with a mirror in horizontal strops. The closet area is great for travelers with spaces for stowing your suitcases and open shelves and rods that keep your items in view. The closet leads to a bathroom with a jacuzzi tub with shower.
Through the living room, you enter the second bedroom with a brass bedstead for the queen-sized bed. This bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with a fixed shower head over jacuzzi tub. This bedroom has a special feature, a small study with a private balcony.
The kitchen is equipped with a four burner stove top, oven, dishwasher, small refrigerator/freezer, and drip coffee maker. Also included for the guests are dishes, flatware, and pots and pans for guest use.
The kitchen also has its own sunny balcony that is glassed in to form the breakfast area. This pleasant area is great for casual meals. The laundry nook is accessed from this area.
Light housekeeping every other weekday.

Perfect Winter Break

If you want to have a perfect winter break in Rome, then I suggest that you stay at this home-away-from home apartment at the heart of the city. The apartment was exactly as per description and we could not have chosen a better location. We literally walk to all the restaurants, shops, and sights as per suggested in the welcome folders. I will be happy to recommend Italy Perfect to anyone who wish to have the perfect break.

This is a lovely apartment in the heart of the best shopping area in Rome (I kidded with my wife that when the Versace street is relegated to a minor side street you know you're in a ritzy area). It's a short walk to the Spanish steps where you can easily find a cab. The apartment is spacious with two large bedrooms and baths. The decor is beautiful and artistic and the place is very clean. My only gripe is minor one, that the maid uses heavily scented soap on the wonderful linens and I'm allergic to fragrances (99.99% of the people would have found the fragrance delightful). When I brought this up to the owner, the maid rewashed my bed linens without the fragrance. I would highly recommend this apartment!

Great Location in Rome Left on 07/30/2011 for a stay in July 2011 The apartment was spacious, well laid out and decorated. Fully air Conditioned was a nice touch so was the wonderful bottle of red wine when we arrived. Marcella our hostess greeted us upon arrival and was able to speak English. She made sure we were all setup before leaving and made us really feel at home. Located near the Spanish Steps in Rome, it was a shopping haven that my teenage daughters really appreciated. Highly recommended for a wonderful stay in Rome.

Our stay at the Renata was fantastic! The accommodations are first rate. We were greeted upon our arrival and enjoyed a great bottle of wine. The location is perfect for walking to the Vatican, the Villa Borghese, the Forum, etc. We loved being able to walk to enjoy these sites and then find amazing restaurants, shops and markets along the way. We made great use of the references provided by our host, and enjoyed guided tours. We shopped the local markets and made our own food and were able to sample lots of local fare and wine. We were quite reluctant to leave. Being in this apartment, in this location, made our stay in Rome a real dream come true. Highly recommended!

Italy Perfect was Perfectt My family and I recently stayed in Rome for a week and chose to stay at Italy Perfect based on the comments we had reviewed regarding the location and quality of this apartment. It could not have been better, and exceeded my expectations in every way, and I must say that as a career hotel professional, my standards are very high. The apartment is beautiful and elegant. The location, near the Spanish Steps is ideal. We walked to all of the ancient city attractions daily, loved exploring the city on foot, and lingered over fabulous food and wine at many wonderful locations within steps of the apartment. We enjoyed visiting the local food market located at the end of the street and even created our own delicious Italian dishes using the fresh ingredients purchased there. The kitchen in the apartment was very well maintained and had everything we needed to prepare quality food. My family and I created wonderful memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. The only downside was leaving Italy Perfect to come back home. I would highly recommend Italy Perfect and will definitely book again when I have the opportunity to return.

The apartment was wonderfully located near the Spanish Steps and close to a metro station. The apartment was very comfortable, roomy, and had everything we needed. The owner was very friendly and helpful. There were good restaurants in the area and a grocery store nearby. Italy Perfect and Paris Perfect are as their names suggest- Perfect. Highly recommended. We will definitely use them again, and would choose the same properties.

The Renata was magnificent. The owner clearly wanted her guests to feel at home with unsurpassed attention to detail, books, internet, linens, impeccable cleanliness, access to knowledgeable private guides and transporation to and from the airport, etc. We wanted to move in permanently. We walked out our door with proximity to a vibrant neighborhood, with small markets, restaurants, ancient ruins and high end fashion at our beck and call! Our only problem now is we will never want to stay anywhere else when in Rome. Thank you so much.

We loved everything about our stay at the Renata apartment. The apartment was clean and as beautiful as the pictures. The check in procedure was easy. The location was great. We felt as if we were in the middle of everything. It was so fun to literally walk around the corner to the Spanish Steps. The welcome bottle of wine was a very nice way to welcome us to Rome. I can't think of anything that you could have done to make it better. We would definitely stay there again. Italy Perfect was a great company to work with.

We had a magical time in the Renata. Our host was both warm and extremely thoughtful. We enjoyed her company immensely. All the pictures of the home were accurate and the home was stunning! The help given through the Italy Perfect made for a wonderful time and was extremely thoughtful. Loved our driver Stefano, our host and the breathtaking beauty of Rome. We will go back and stay at the Renata in a heart beat. The location and the wonderful people make a trip. Try Nano's for great food; in walking distance and fabulous. Thank you so very much for making this happen for our family, Pat and Lisa. In gratitude, David and Hope

Our home away from home! Oct 2009 Fabulous, large apartment in the middle of a great neighborhood! The apartment was breath-takingly beautiful! And the attention to detail was so gratiously appreciated. We hosted a family wedding and this apartment served all of our needs. Lots of thoughtful details. Very comfortable. Beautiful layout for ourselves and any guests. We'd like to think that it is our Roma home away from home!!
