Colosseum Penthouse with Spectacular 360° View from the Rooftop Garden

PENTHOUSE WITH VIEWS
A big and luxury penthouse (125 m² plus 125 m² of terraces) arranged on three floors with a SPECTACULAR 360° VIEW OVER ANCIENT ROME: enjoy the exclusive breathtaking view from its 3 terraces and windows, a view that in May 2008 was filmed by National Geographic for the programme “City Chase” in Rome.


A LOCATION TO REMEMBER FOREVER:
Ideal for families and groups looking for a very central location, it is of course ideal also for a couple or even a single person who wants a location to remember for ever!

AND IT IS PERFECT FOR SMART WORKING WITH THE GOOD WIFI ON THE BIG TABLE IN FRONT OF THE TERRACE!

The penthouse can host up to a maximum of 5 overnight guests (4 adults and 1 child).

At only two-minutes walk from the COLOSSEUM and the IMPERIAL FORUMS, the penthouse is PERFECT FOR VISITING ANCIENT ROME WHILE COMFORTABLY FEELING AT HOME.

The space of the entire property (250 m2: 125 inside and 125 outside) allows ease of living both inside (an inviting living room, a large dining table for 10 people, a spectacular Belvedere) and outside with its terraces on 3 floors. It is equipped with FULL COMFORTS (Jacuzzi hot tub, Internet wi-fi, air conditioning, smart TV, washer-dryer, dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave, elevator, iron, city guides etc.).

OUTDOOR SPACES AND STUNNING VIEWS ARE THE MAIN TRAIT OF THIS PENTHOUSE. Views play the leading role: inside, the numerous windows typical of the Fifties bring a unique mixture of light and views into the rooms, while outside the three terraces offer special outdoor spaces typical of the 1950s: the “Dolce Vita” years when the penthouse was built.
Three terraces for 125 m² in all, renovated using authentic materials from the Roman tradition (like travertine and marble-chip floor tiles) and furnished with table, chairs, deckchairs, sun beds, Mediterranean plants, offer:
• on the 6th floor a wonderful living and dining room in the open air;
• on the 7th floor a nice living space with an outdoor shower and view on the Basilica of S. Maria Maggiore;
• on the 8th floor an exclusive roof garden (50 m²) with 360° view on Rome.

A MINIMALIST INTERIOR DESIGN STYLE characterizes the apartment:
- light wood furniture, accompanied by shades of white and beige in textiles;
- no curtains that would exclude the external views;
- few tabletop accessories and books on the shelves;
- details maintained with particular attention to vintage restoration.
This style is A PRECISE CHOICE TO HIGHLIGHT:
- the AMAZING VIEWS offered by the windows of the apartment;
- the selection of MAPS AND PAINTINGS by famous authors that remind of the history of Rome, since maps by Pirro Ligorio, Vasi, Nolli, Piranesi and paintings by Giuliano Geleng (Fellini's scenographer), accompany you THROUGH THE CENTURIES UP TO THE FIFTIES, WHEN THE BUILDING GREW (1952-54).

HOUSE RULES. As you can understand, we cannot accept bookings with requests that cannot be fulfilled. So, before booking, first check if our VRBO House Rules meet your needs (see https://www.vrbo.com/en-gb/rm/settings/rentalpolicy/l-611.10493497.5520030/houserules).

IMPORTANT, AS WRITTEN IN THE NEWS:
At the moment there are numerous blackouts in cities (Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Florence, etc.) probably due to the excessive use of air conditioning.
In various parts of Rome, among which the Celio district, this problem has affected many buildings with continuous power outages.
Luckily, in the building where the penthouse is (36, via Annia) there have been only power outages planned on July 4, 7 and 8 by the company that manages electricity infrastructures in Rome, i.e. Areti (https://www.areti.it/) to check the electricity system.
At the moment no more planned power outages are foreseen, but we cannot exclude other possible blackouts, as they are possible in Rome like in other cities.
Please, consider that, if you confirm our penthouse booking and accept this possible disservice, any problem arisen in this respect cannot be part of your post-booking review, since it is a public problem out of our control (not a disservice of our apartment), that cannot impact on our excellent ranking.

IMPORTANT.
At the moment a portion of the view in front of the 6th floor terrace is disturbed by works in progress (e.g. cranes) for the construction of the Line-C subway, that can produce noise. Up to now no guest has had any problem because of these works.
This aspect is certainly minor, but it is always important to be informed in advance.
