The La Giulia Rome apartment is located on a charming, small street just off Via Giulia in a 17th century building. Perfect for visitors who want the conveniences of an apartment in Rome in the historic center with all major sites within walking distance.
For additional information see the URL below for our website.
La Giulia is on the second floor (first floor European) and is entered directly off the lobby of the building. Once inside the apartment’s front door, walk one flight up a wrought iron spiral staircase and you are in the apartment. It is a comfortable studio apartment that is in an excellent location right in the center of this elegant, exciting neighborhood.
As you step into the apartment from the staircase, the living room seating area is to your left, in front of a set of beautiful windows facing over the street. Behind the living area, to your left, is the sleeping alcove. Another set of windows is directly in front of you as you, just opposite the top of the stairs. To your right is the dining area with designer lighting over the table. Just behind you, to the right, is the efficiency kitchen and the bathroom.
The windows have picturesque flower boxes planted with seasonal flowers and look out onto the charming street, letting light and air into the apartment. They are set into dramatic arched niches adding an historic architectural element to the apartment. The floors are beautiful polished terra-cotta tiles.
The apartment was completely remodeled in 2002 and is tastefully furnished with a neutral palette of whites, cream and red accent pieces in the living room area and a modern dining table with seating for four people. It has a large, stunning, stone fireplace mantle surrounding a (non-working) fireplace between the dining area and the bathroom.
The living room seating area has a comfortable sofa upholstered in white. The apartment furnishings mix modern touches, set against an antique backdrop, that keep the feel fresh and comfortable. The queen-size bed in the sleeping alcove has suspended lamps on either side of the bed for reading. Cheerful linens and a soft duvet beckon for an afternoon siesta after a busy day of exploring the enchantments of Rome. The ceiling above the bed has beautiful exposed beams and stucco. At the foot of the bed is a freestanding closet and storage area.
The kitchen is a small efficiency-style, hidden behind folding louvered doors. You can fix breakfast or toss together a simple dinner from the fresh ingredients obtained that morning at the Campo de’ Fiori market only a stone’s throw away. It has a three-burner gas cook top, an under-the-counter refrigerator, a sink and a microwave. The kitchen comes with pots, pans, dishes and utensils. Along the wall just before the kitchen area is a sleek buffet cabinet that holds serving pieces.
The bathroom was remodeled in 2006. It is small, but is completely up-to-date with the latest fixtures and brass taps. When you enter the bathroom the shower is immediately in front of you and has a shower curtain enclosure attached to the wall that forms the enclosure. The shower drain is in the center of the bathroom floor which is common in Italy for tiny bathrooms in order to make the most efficient use of limited space. When not in use, the shower curtain is gathered against the wall to provide access to the sink. The sink, with a large mirror over it, is on the facing wall directly opposite the bathroom entrance. The toilet is to your right.
About the Location:
The Campo de’ Fiori is the neighborhood of Renaissance Rome where the power mongers built their palaces, such as Palazzo Farnese and Palazzo Spada. We know the importance of location, location, location, and this part of Rome qualifies as one of the best due to its proximity to the major sites and the everyday conveniences of local restaurants, pizzerias, cafes, and the Campo de’ Fiori market.
Step out the door and choose between elegant antique shops and art galleries to your right, only half a block away on Via Giulia . Or walk two blocks to your left and select from the freshest produce for tonight’s dinner at Rome’s most famous open air market, the Campo de’ Fiori, meaning "field of flowers".
Soak up the morning sunshine and enjoy an espresso at Caffe Farnese café just around the corner. Or stop off at the end of a full day and enjoy an afternoon gelato or an early evening aperitif. After picking up some fresh fruit or a savory seasoning mix to enhance your pasta sauce from one of the colorful stalls in Campo de’ Fiori, stop into Roscioli, a deli famous for prosciutto, mortadella, salami, cheese, and olives.
Via Giulia is a beautiful street for strolling, window-shopping and people watching, as are Piazza Farnese and Campo de’ Fiori. Many of the streets are named for the merchants that once populated the area: Via del Giubbonari - the jacket makers, Via della Barchetta - the boat builders, Via degli Specchi - street of mirrors.
Only a few minutes walk and you’re at Piazza Navona or the Pantheon. Cross the Tiber and you’re in scenic Trastevere. The Vatican, the Colosseum, the Forum, the Spanish Steps are reasonable walk if you want to work off that pasta and wine from the night before. If your feet are crying for mercy, they are an easy bus or cab ride. Just a few blocks away is Largo Argentina, one of the major bus stops where there is bus transportation available all over the city.
FOUR NIGHT MINIMUM BOOKING PERIOD except Christmas, New Year's, Easter when one week minimum applies. |
