The apartment
It is an amazing penthouse apartment located in an historic building. The interiors lay-out is extremely charming and the seven windows and the two large terraces offer a breathtaking view over the roofs of the city centre. The apartment is located on the corner of Via della Vite and Via del Corso, right in the heart of the city centre and just 300 metres from the world famous Spanish Steps.
It is located on the top floor of a delightful 17th century palazzo, one of the properties of the Ottoboni dynasty, a Venetian family whose members included Pope Alexander VIII (1689-1691).
As a result of its architectural value, the palazzo is a protected building and thus it has not been possible to extend the lift to the top floor (6th floor), where the apartment is situated. The lift stops at the third floor and there are 3 flights of steps to climb.
The 80 sqm flat is laid out according to a rectangular plan with numerous windows on three sides. The apartment is composed of a large well lit sitting room with kitchenette, furnished with two sofa-beds and a dining table, a double bed room with bathroom (with shower), a second bathroom (with shower), a small sitting room furnished with a sofa-bed connected to a large bedroom with room for 2-3 people on the mezzanine floor. The flat has been recently redecorated and all the fittings and furnishings are brand new. The apartment has an autonomous central heating system and there are air conditioners in each room. The flat also includes a washing machine and two televisions providing the main Italian television channels.
The whole flat is finely furnished and equipped with everything necessary to ensure the comfort of our guests.
The small sitting room and bedroom open onto two large panoramic terraces with views over the city centre, one looking towards the north (from which it is possible to see the architectural splendour of the church of Trinità dei Monti) and one looking towards the south (from which it is possible to see many historic buildings including the Parliament).
The larger terrace, which can be accessed from the small sitting room, is furnished with a table and chairs and may be shaded by a roller blind. The windows on the west face of the building overlooking via del Corso open onto a large roof and thus the apartment is also extremely quiet.
