Welcome to Palm House 2 – Villa Borghese. This is my second apartment listed on VRBO, located right next door to my original listing, Palm House 1 (VRBO listing #3958362), in the same building. I am honored to have received the "Premier Partner" badge from the Home team thanks to the success and consistent excellence of Palm House 1. This recognition is the highest given to a property owner, reflecting a strong commitment to maintaining the apartment in perfect condition and providing top-level guest experiences. You’re welcome to read the 90+ five-star reviews for Palm House 1 as a testament to the quality and care you can expect here as well.
Palm House 2 is a fully renovated one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment—the largest of its kind in the neighborhood at 80 sq. meters (861 sq. feet). It also happens to be the closest apartment to the Villa Borghese park, offering both a central location and a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. Just steps from the entrance to the park, the apartment features fast WiFi and Netflix for your comfort and entertainment.
Both apartments—Palm House 1 and its sister unit Palm House 2 (VRBO listing #3264126)—are nestled on a calm, leafy, tree-lined street in the exclusive Villa Borghese/Parioli area. This prestigious neighborhood, known for its grand mansions and embassies, is one of the most elegant in Rome, with over 30 embassies located within a 10-minute walk. Many of Rome’s iconic sights are reachable on foot. The entrance to Villa Borghese park is just a 3-minute walk away. Once inside, you can enjoy a relaxing stroll to the famous Villa Borghese Museum (5 min), the zoo (5 min), the Etruscan and Modern Art Museums (10 min), Via Veneto (15 min), Piazza del Popolo (25 min), and even reach the top of the Spanish Steps in just 25 minutes. Public transport is also nearby—the tram stop for the Vatican Museums, the Colosseum, and various city center attractions is only a 5-minute walk away. You’ll also find a local supermarket, fresh produce market, and excellent local restaurants just around the corner.
The apartment itself features a grand barrel-vaulted ceiling and oversized windows, flooding the space with natural light. For your comfort, the bedroom is equipped with electric black-out curtains to ensure restful sleep. There are 7 steps to access the apartment. Inside, you'll find a spacious bedroom with a queen-size bed and plenty of custom-made closets and drawers for storage. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, washer/dryer combo, refrigerator, coffee maker, and an induction stove top.
The marble bathroom is exceptionally large, featuring a generous walk-in shower, a lighted vanity, and an oversized sink. The elegantly furnished living room includes a custom-made sofa, and the dining area comfortably seats four guests. A unique bonus of Palm House 2 is its “secret” private patio/garden, tucked around the side of the apartment—your own peaceful retreat to enjoy the outdoors.
After a long day of sightseeing, you’ll truly appreciate this quiet, elegant, and calming environment—the perfect place to unwind and feel at home in Rome.
