Kalos Reach

Holiday Rental Description

It’s rare for a city home to deliver on quite so many fronts as this charming apartment in Rome’s historic Parione neighbourhood. The location, on an enchanting street between Piazza Navona and the Spanish Steps, feels brilliantly Roman, while in the home, vintage stylings meet modern comforts in elegant fashion. Muted blocks of colour give the living room an artsy edge, with wood floors, tall ceilings and atlas-inspired art adding to its sophisticated feel. We love the kitchen’s black and white tiles that contrast beautifully with its red walls and stone floors, while the blush coloured bedroom is pretty as a picture. It’s a treat to wake up here, especially when you open up the French doors that lead out onto a scenic private balcony. Sit here amongst the vines with your morning coffee while gazing out onto Rome’s rooftops, then lace up your walking shoes for a stroll around the city. Piazza Navona is just a three-minute walk away, while The Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps are reachable in ten. After a day of exploring, choose one of the countless local trattorias for a delicious dinner, then come back home to your balcony for a spritz to end the night.

Home truths:
*This home is on the third floor with no lift, making it less suitable for those with limited mobility or guests bringing heavy luggage
*The living room lacks natural light as it doesn't have any windows
*While the kitchen is a great size, it doesn't have an oven or a dishwasher and there's no washing machine here either
*There's air conditioning, but only in the bedroom
*A cot and a high chair are available – just ask the host when booking
*If you have a larger group, the hosts have a few other homes in the same building which can be booked at the same time
