Next to the living room is a "den" for reading and watching TV. Fine Persian carpets are arrayed across the parquet floor.

Magnifico indeed Having been to Rome twice before, this was our first time staying in a flat. Nothing can compare than having the experience of true Roman living. Magnifico was everything it was advertised. The greeter was there when we arrived and was helpful with our questions. The view was incredible and the flat very lovely and comfortable. Excellent location for ancient Rome lovers and an easy stroll to restaurants etc. I can easily recommend Magnifico.
