Description Opera Glass: Roma

Everything about this palatial apartment clicks seamlessly into place. It’s luxurious, opulent even (how else do you describe the marble columns?), but retains a certain grace – a lightness that stops it from feeling over the top. That’s quite an achievement in a place with ceiling frescoes, parquet flooring, and marble arches. While the living space has a real air of elegance, the bedrooms are more modern and stylish, with whitewashed walls, gold accented furnishings and tasteful artwork (plus their own individual coffee machines). Inhabiting the space between a hotel and an apartment, you'll find plenty of other thoughtful amenities during your stay – from a private chef, housekeeping, and 24/7 concierge. Take your breakfast outside, prepared and served by the staff on your rooftop terrace, offering skyline views over the Eternal City. Beckoning you to explore, walk sixteen minutes and find yourself at one of the seven wonders of the world – the Colosseum. Take a fourteen-minute stroll to the ancient Roman Forum ruins and reach the famous Trevi Fountain in just thirteen-minutes (on foot) – with such a central location, you'll find most of the iconic sights are but a saunter from home.
