Live like a local at this luxury apartment in popular Monti. The area attracts creatives, lovers of alternative fashion, and foodies interested in its gourmet street food scene.

From the Carrara marble kitchen countertop, vintage door and Missoni wallpaper, to the pretty private courtyard – it isn't easy to pick the best feature of this home. The style and décor here have the signature of a popular Roman interior designer, Alessandra Danese, for an additional Italian touch. Prepare some panzanella to enjoy outside with a glass of wine, or let the friendly host arrange a private chef to prepare some classic Roman cuisine for you and your guests. This home and its setting are just perfect.
