Duplex Pantheon Terrace Vista panoramica sulla cupola di San Pietro, sul Pantheon e

This is a fantastic little penthouse apartment in a great location in the center of Rome. The views from the upper level of the apartment over the rooftops of Rome are spectacular and enchanting, and the rooftop patio was a great spot to sit with a glass of wine (even in November we had some good weather for sitting outside); I imagine summer evenings are also great for sitting outside and relaxing. For the center of Rome the apartment was surprisingly quiet (although there's no mistaking you're in the middle of a city).

The location is outstanding, within walking distance to most of the major sites in Rome, and with a taxi stand just a block or so away that always had multiple taxis available for those times you don't feel like walking. There are lots of great restaurants in the immediate area or a reasonable walk; among them, we definitely recommend Enoteca Corsi just downstairs in the same building (warning, you will smell the restaurant at times, and it will make you hungry), and there are multiple Roman pizza places close by that are great for a quick meal or a snack. Two grocery stores are within a block as well for drinks, snacks, and if you feel like cooking yourself (although with so many good restaurants, why would you?).

The layout of the apartment is a bit quirky, but that the apartment much of its charm, with the open living/kitchen/patio area upstairs and the bedrooms and entrance downstairs. It also creates a great deal of privacy between the living areas and the bedrooms, and between the two bedrooms. The beds were pleasantly firm, unlike the overly soft mattresses you find in most places (although that may not be to everyone's taste). The internet access/Wi-Fi is a bit on the slow side but worked reasonably well from most of the apartment, although it didn't quite reach to the far side of the main bedroom.

The apartment was impeccably clean, and the listing was entirely accurate. The owner and her agent Sasi were responsive and easy to work with.

We would not hesitate to book this apartment again, and hope to be back again sometime in the future to further explore the Eternal City.
