With sweeping views of the city, this penthouse apartment is just the place for a memorable Roman holiday. Full-length windows mean those skyline vistas are the first thing you'll notice when you enter – but don't get comfy just yet. Step out to the patio and up the stairs, and you'll find the expansive roof terrace, where there's space to dine, lounge, and sunbathe. Why not prepare snacks and drinks in the marble kitchen for a sunset aperitivo? You don't need to admire the city from afar, though – this home is just a ten-minute walk from the Spanish Steps and the Piazza Navona.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
The lift in this building only reaches the fifth floor – you'll then need to climb a short, eight-step staircase to the home's entrance. There are additional steps to the roof terrace, so it may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility.
There's limited counter space in the kitchen, so we think it's better suited for preparing light bites than large meals.
Your host asks you to respect quiet hours between 11pm and 7am.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free on request.

Local guide
About Navona
Stretching from Piazza Navona to the river, the area is one of the most atmospheric in the city. The Piazza, with its Bernini statues and Borromini church, is the main draw, but there are any number of golden palazzos, many with inner courtyards to explore. The area is sliced in two by Corso Vittorio Emmanuele, one of Rome's most frenetic roads, but you can dive down the nearest sides street...
