Apartment AP13 - Giubbonari

Description

The district

At a few steps and only two minutes from the famous Piazza Campo de’ Fiori, in the heart of Rome’s most central district, there is the holiday house “Giubbonari”, capable of accommodating from 2 to 4 persons for short stays. The windows of the apartment open out on to one of the most characteristic pedestrian squares of central Rome: the ever present Romanic church and a little open air café, make Largo dei Librari a genuine corner of roman life.

Campo de’ Fiori is one of the most famous squares of the city, well known for its traditional open air market and also for the characteristic boutiques, pizzerias and restaurants with the traditional roman cuisine.

At a five minutes walk, there are Piazza Farnese with the palace having the same name, dating back to the 16th century, Via Giulia with its elegant and aristocratic houses and antiques workshops, the famous Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, the Campidoglio. Easy to reach on foot are also the Trevi Fountain, Saint Peter Church, Castel S. Angelo, the Roman Forum and the Coliseum. We are right in the heart of the historical centre of the capital city, in a secure and peaceful area.

The apartment

It is placed on the first floor of an 18th century building, just beside the church. The photo shows the two windows of the apartment, and how they are incredibly near to the facade of the church of Santa Barbara dei Librai of the 11th century. The product that we offer has a high historical value.

The two rooms apartment is about 50 square meters and was restored recently At the entrance, a small area connects the two rooms of the house: the night zone consisting of a double queen sized bedroom full of light and the day zone that also opens out on to Largo dei Librari. The living room is furnished with a table for four persons, a large bookcase that surrounds the entrance door, a TV zone and a comfortable double sofa bed.

The large window renders the room very light and airy. The kitchen is well equipped, and beside the common appliances there is also the washing machine available. The bedroom has a double bed and a large wardrobe. All the furnishings – the curtains, bedspread, headboard and pictures – are simple and in good taste.

The bathroom, entirely renewed, with its elegant features also offers the use of a full-length bath.

The house is equipped with electric independent heating system and fans for the summer; the thick walls, a characteristic of the ancient buildings, enable indoor temperatures to be comfortable and pleasant throughout winter and summer.
