Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Two terraces, both looking directly onto the church of St Ignatius, make this apartment one of Rome's more remarkable addresses – whether you're drinking in the view with morning coffee or an evening aperitivo. The Pantheon is a four-minute walk, Trevi Fountain just five, and Piazza Navona around nine, which means most of what draws people to Rome is essentially on foot from here. Inside, parquet floors and carved panel doors give the rooms a quiet, classical character, while sound-proofed windows keep the hustle of central Rome at a respectful distance.

Local guide
About Pantheon
Pantheon is usually thronged with architectural and religious pilgrims, all on the hunt for the church. This fascination, which comes both from sheer wonder, and also a more complex response to a temple that has been dedicated to a variety of creeds, has understandably packed the surrounding streets with sellers of tat and bad ice cream. This is one of Rome's loudest areas, with the restaurants and bars staying open...

Host
This home is managed by Burghesius
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Burghesius is led by sister Lavinia and brother Gregorio Borghese. Starting a business with a sibling might seem bold — but for us, it felt natural. Together, we set out to create something genuinely different: a new standard of luxury. From Rome, to Tuscany, and beyond. With years of experience in hospitality and property management, we understood that the modern traveller seeks more than a place to stay. They seek a feeling, a rhythm, a home that blends comfort, character, and discretion.
