The contrast between the old structure, with its plaster and ceiling beams, and the Koons-esque furniture in Mirror Sky is striking, even more so in the flesh than on a screen. It’s a bold move, but no less than you’d expect from a flat in the Alda Fendi Foundation. Rather than a traditionally autonomous apartment, here you get the benefits you’d normally associate with a five-star hotel, without losing any independence. There’s a 24/7 reception, a roof terrace, daily cleaning, even the option to choose the pillow best suited to you from a ‘menu’.

Home truths

    As this is a serviced apartment, if you're after the feeling of a lived-in home, you won't find it here

    Your host owns multiple apartments within this building, so the exact view, furnishings and layout might differ from the photos, but the size and standard will be the same

    Be prepared to stock the kitchen yourself, there aren't many ingredients provided

    The design is very stylish, but not what you'd think of as classically Roman

About Aventino

As one of the city's legendary seven hills, the Aventine plays a central role in the founding mythology of Rome. In ancient times it was a hive of activity – the home of foreign religious cults and dens of iniquity that caused consternation among the powers that be. Today it is a quiet residential neighbourhood full of sprawling mansions, historic churches and lovely gardens. There are no restaurants up here,...

This home is managed by Simone

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Roberto and his team look after the apartments in the Alda Fendi Foundation – one of the most stylish buildings in the city (it was recently renovated by the architectural superstar Jean Nouvel). The level of service they offer is mind-boggling, with pretty much everything you can think of (or certainly that we could think of) on the table.
