Enjoy a vacation with a view when you stay at charming Apartment Pincio, overlooking the famous Spanish steps and in the heart of central Rome, the capital city of Italy. This simply stunning three-bedroom apartment can comfortably accommodate up to five guests, ideal for a family holiday or a few friends sharing.
The apartment is on the fifth floor, but fear not; a lift will take you up there. Apartment Pincio boasts stunning views from its fabulous furnished terrace, where you can dine alfresco and watch the sunset over the Eternal City. Its architect-artist owner recently renovated the apartment, and is exquisitely dressed with unique art, artefacts, and antiques. The interiors have parquet floors, exposed brick walls, and timbered ceilings adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers. Staying at Apartment Pincio comes complete with all the mod cons, including complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout, a Peloton by arrangement, and an electric vehicle charging point in a private garage.
Take the elevator to the fifth floor, and enter the light and bright, elegant apartment decorated in a subtle colour palette of creamy whites and shades of soft neutral earth tones. The formal timber-ceiling, chandeliered seating area has a comfy white sofa and a grey velvet sofa with a matching armchair, arranged around a coffee table, facing a bookcase, with a wood-burning fire, an ornate mirror, and a satellite television preloaded with Netflix. An impressive eight-seater dining set would make for some splendid indoor entertaining. The white and steel grey, hi-tech, modern kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest built-in appliances and wizardry gadgets that you will need to cater for your stay.
There here are three beautifully dressed spacious bedrooms. The master suite has a queen size bed, mirrored wardrobes, and an ensuite bathroom with a bathtub and shower with an inset marble sculpture and a scalloped hand basin. The second bedroom has a queen size bed, and the third has a single bed; they share a sleek bathroom with a walk-in rain shower and a frilled marble hand basin. A hallway with a white cushioned bench seat, and a working desk with a chair, leads to a city and church view, terracotta coloured, walled terrace. Take morning coffee at the soft seating spot, admire the view from the wooden chairs shaded from the summer sun by a handy parasol, and feast alfresco under a Roman sky at the six-seater dining set.
Apartment Pincio can be found on a hill overlooking the Spanish steps, nestled in the heart of central Rome, the capital city of Italy, half down its west coast. The apartment is just sixteen kilometres from Rome's international Ciampino Airport, which can be reached by taxi or direct train. The central Roma Termini train station is five minutes by the metro to Spagna station; hop into a cab, or pre-book a transfer with the concierge team.
There is something for everyone to enjoy when you holiday in Rome, whether it's ancient history, architecture, renaissance art, culture, food, shopping, and fashion, or the simply joy of people watching, the Eternal City has got the lot. Step outside the apartment. A short walk will take you to the iconic Spanish Steps; enjoy a cappuccino in the bustling square of Piazza Barberini, then make a wish at the famous sculpted marble Trevi fountain.
Everywhere you go, there are ornate churches, rich with decorative icons, don't miss a visit to the nearby Santissima Trinita dei Monti, a Roman Catholic late Renaissance church above the Spanish Steps. Soak up the history of the city at The Pantheon, the Roman Forum, and the ancient Colosseum, all within walking distance of the apartment. No visit to Rome is complete without a meander through the Vatican Museum art collection to see Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling, the double helix staircase, and the rooftop terrace before visiting the Basilica of St Peter.
For fine art, go to the nearby Borghese Gallery, set in a gorgeous garden, housing an incredible collection of Canova marble sculptures. On the stroll back, stop at Harry's Bar for a Bellini, then walk down the Spanish steps to visit the Romantic poet Keat's house before sampling English muffins at the renowned Babington's Tea Rooms, which has been there since 1893. Saunter down the oh-so-very fabulous Via dei Condotti and window shop for world-famous designer-label fashion and exquisite hand-crafted leather handbags. Go on a guided tour or make your own way to the city's outskirts and cross the Old Appian Way to discover the hidden treasures of the catacombs.
If you fancy a day trip out of Rome, the town of Tivoli is only thirty kilometres away, where you can visit Hadrian's Villa and the exquisite Villa D'Este. During the day, dine on freshly made pasta and homemade ice cream, eat alfresco in one of the many squares, and sit back and watch as the world and the beautiful people pass by. In the evening, make your way to the foodie heaven of Trastevere, and taste the delights of traditional Italian cooking, just like Nonna used to make, in one of its many taverna-style restaurants.
