Classical Roman style is on full display at The Terrace Palermo. From the grand piano, the antiques, the artwork, and even the rustic structure itself send a rush to the head as you enter – it’s not the kind of place you'll forget in a hurry. It’s unashamedly ornate, and over-the-top but deliciously so. Sit down in the regal living room with a good book, while noticing the ornamental fireplace, frescoed ceiling and 17th-century paintings. Those working from home during their stay will find a traditional reading room that will have you powering through like never before. To stay here is to move into a bygone era of Roman refinement and sophistication. And this is all before you even reach the rooftop sun terrace – from here, you can look across the picturesque skyline, taking in the Colosseum on one side and the Presidential Palace on the other. It comes complete with all the different types of garden furniture, from a dining table and chairs to comfy recliners, so whether you're topping up your tan or dining alfresco long into those everlasting summer evenings, it's perfectly suited. Down below, you'll find a beautifully typical Roman neighbourhood with an eclectic blend of historic buildings and contemporary bars. Last but certainly not least, you're just a twelve-minute stroll from the world's most famous amphitheatre – the Colosseum.

About Monti

It's a truth universally acknowledged that in every city, there is a district just waiting to be described as expressing the spirit of the old Soho. In Rome, Monti is that place, and the connection is a fair one - although what Monti lacks in advertising agencies and mustachioed tech bros, it makes up for in creative enclaves, smoky bars and delicious places to eat. Nestled right in the heart...

Host


This home is managed by Henrietta

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. While the homeowner of this property gets Henrietta and her capable team to take care of the details of renting out his flat, he lives just opposite and is very involved as a host. As well as leaving a bottle of prosecco as a welcome gift, he’ll share a balcony with you and is always up for a chat. Given his experience working for NASA on samples brought back from the Apollo missions, we’d definitely recommend it.
