Il Tulipano Roma, Lazio

Property Description

Located in Rome’s central Sallustiano neighbourhood, this home has elegance in its bones. Set within a building designed by architect Angelo di Castro and dating back to 1949, there’s an air of history here that’s been brought into comfortable 21st-century style.

Soft colour blocks and modern decor set the scene in the open-plan living space where a sofa invites you to kick back and relax – a glass of Italian wine in hand – and a dining table beckons intimate soirées at sun fall. Open up the French doors here to step out onto a private balcony – the ideal spot for a morning espresso or an evening aperitif before dinner at a local trattoria.

The bedroom, meanwhile, boasts the same calm, sophisticated vibe with a beautifully dressed bed to wake up in, while the gleaming bathroom’s rainfall shower provides a thoroughly relaxing start to any day.

When you’re ready to go out and explore, stroll thirteen minutes to visit Villa Borghese and its lush gardens or make a beeline for the Trevi Foutain, twenty-two minutes away on foot. You’re also a ten-minute walk from Villa Patrizi, while Porta Pia – designed by Michelangelo – is four minutes on foot from your door.
