Right in the heart of the historic center, you'll be at a walking distance from Piazza Navona, Campo de' Fiori, the Pantheon, Castel Sant'Angelo and the Vatican, and not far from the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, the Roman Forum and the Colosseum.

The apartment is Located in what is historically a street of artisans' workshop, these days mixed up with trendy boutiques, cool local bars and fashionable restaurants.

My family and I lived in this area for generations and I have followed its slow transformation. The apartment is located is what is called 'Rione Parione', right in the historic center of Rome. It is my favorite area of the city because in spite it being in the heart of the 'action', walking distance from most of the main tourists sites, the street is quiet and has maintained its original character. There are still many artisans' workshops and although there are many (and undoubtedly welcome) changes, such as trendy boutiques and fashionable restaurants, the wine bar down the road hasn't changed for the last thirty years and although it is now a sort of local institution it still is understandably cool.

I believe that what makes this property special is mainly its location. It is a very special area, where people know each other and have a sense of community. Here you can really 'do as the Romans do', as they say, and it is not easy to find this sort of situation in a city that mainly lives on tourism!

As for the interior, I have tried to make it elegant, sober, comfortable and functional. I have just finished refurbishing it so everything is brand new!
