Rolling Jade Rome, Lazio

Holiday Rental Description

This comfortable apartment in the beating heart of bohemian Trastevere embodies the 1940s. Unpretentious design and elegant furniture are the cornerstones of the interior, while a sense of calm deliberation hangs in the air. It’s punctuated by simple drawings in pencil, and the stunning wardrobe door – a brilliant jade green with iron and brass detailing. Peeks of the Gianicolo hills from the bedroom’s balcony only add to the peaceful ambiance. After a rich espresso in the quaint kitchen, get to know your old-world neighbourhood. Sidle down ivy-clad alleyways to happen upon traditional ristorantes and artisan shops. Piazza di Santa Maria, a favoured meeting place for locals and newcomers alike, is a five-minute walk from your home. Walk on for another five and you’ll reach the Botanical Garden of Rome. With its monumental fountains and bamboo grove, it’s a serene retreat away from the hubbub.
