Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Arriving through a vaulted courtyard into a 17th-century palazzo, you're already somewhere remarkable before you've even unlocked the door. The coffered ceilings and marble architraves inside belong to another era entirely – the grand living room alone commands the kind of scale that most Roman apartments can only dream of. Travertine bathrooms and a fully fitted kitchen mean the classical setting doesn't ask you to sacrifice comfort. Step outside and Piazza Navona is a five-minute walk, the Pantheon a ten-minute stroll, and Campo de' Fiori's morning market eight-minutes away on foot.

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...
