Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked into a quiet street just a three-minute walk from Piazza Navona, this apartment sits in the kind of Roman neighbourhood where wine bars and excellent restaurants fill the evenings. The Pantheon is around eight minutes on foot, and Largo di Torre Argentina a nine-minute stroll – Rome's greatest hits are practically on the doorstep. Inside, artist-painted dining room walls make the space feel singular, while high ceilings and parquet flooring give the living room a warmth that survives even the longest day of sightseeing.

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...

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.
