Penthouse for rent in Rome’s historic centre: the visit begins on the fifth floor

We are on the fifth floor. From the front door the layout is clear at a glance: straight ahead, through an archway, is the sitting room, while a corridor on the left leads to the bedrooms. We will come back to it shortly.

The sitting room and dining area

Straight ahead first, then. The sitting room is one open space, with room for a seating area as well as a dining table. A window and a French window face you as you walk in, and the terrace lies just beyond the glass. The room faces south-east: the side of the morning sun.

The breakfast room and the kitchen

To the right, a second archway leads to the breakfast room and, beyond it, to the space set aside for the kitchen. The French window is only a few steps away, so in fine weather breakfast can be taken outside.

The terrace, on the same level as the rooms

Now step outside. The terrace is level with the rooms and runs the length of the sitting room and both bedrooms. It measures about fifteen metres by four and a half: roughly seventy square metres. There is room, therefore, for an outdoor dining table and, further along, a seating area. It faces south-east, towards Trajan’s Forum.

The bedrooms and bathrooms

Back inside, return to the entrance hall and take the corridor. It is lit by a window onto an internal lightwell and, at the far end, a door opens into the bedroom wing. First comes a bathroom with a window, which serves both guests and the first bedroom. That bedroom, meanwhile, has a window onto the terrace and a corner that would take a desk: a natural spot for anyone working from home.

Last comes the principal bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom that also has a window. A door opens straight onto the terrace, so you can step outside first thing in the morning. And so the tour ends in the open air. The renovation, meanwhile, is nearing completion.
