A former 17th-century trading station, this characterful building now houses cosy apartments that hark back to the neighbourhood's heritage. With original timber ceilings, shuttered windows overlooking the city streets and hexagonal tiled floors, this flat radiates Roman ambience. But rainfall showers, a sleek kitchen and sumptuous sofas provide plenty of 21st-century comforts. Rustle up antipasti and share it around the roomy dining table alongside a bottle of Italy's finest wine – or, if you're not up for cooking, arrange for a private chef to prepare a delicious feast for you. There's a desk in the living area that's perfect for business travellers, while the comfortable bedrooms are just the ticket after a long day exploring Rome's lively streets. And speaking of exploring, you couldn't ask for a better spot to do just that. Smack dab in the city centre, you're a mere two-minute walk from the traditional markets in Campo de' Fiori and the bustling Piazza Navona. Alongside dozens of restaurants, museums, historical landmarks and boutiques, you're only a sixteen-minute stroll from the Trevi Fountain – after a guided tour around the city, end the evening with a nightcap at one of the trendy cocktails bars nearby.
