Odeon

Holiday Rental Description

An apartment in the palace of one of Rome’s greatest aristocratic families – even if we set aside the location – it’s a special place. Four floors stacked on top of each other form the backbone of the flat. The bedrooms are all beautiful, done up to modern standards, but without losing their sense of history or many of their original features. There’s a balcony and a terrace, along with panoramic views from the shower that crowns the flat. It’s a stroke of genius, one of many that elevate this apartment above the rest. Once you've had your morning shower looking out over Rome's rooftops, it's time to hit the streets. The apartment is neatly sandwiched between the stunning baroque beauty of Piazza Navona and the bustling Campo de' Fiori market – with both within a couple of minutes' walk – and close to a host of other Roman sights. Cross over Ponte Garibaldi, and you'll find yourself in trendy Trastevere in a little over ten minutes, while Vatican City lies twenty-five minutes in the opposite direction.

Home truths:
*Get ready for a lot of stairs – not only do you need to take them to reach the apartment, but it's then set over four levels
*The kitchen is set up to prepare light meals, but there's no oven or dishwasher
*There's no bathroom on the level with the communal areas
* Child-friendly amenities such as a cot (€15 per night) and highchair (€10 per night) are available for an extra fee – both are available for €20
