It’s not often you get the chance to stay in as beautiful a building as Chiostro del Bramante and its stunning sculpture museum. Built in the 1500s, the building now hosts an art gallery, restaurant, cafe and bookshop where you’ll get discounts at during your stay. Wander around and take in Donato Bramante's Renaissance work, visit the adjacent Santa Maria della Pace and witness Raphael’s famous Sybils and then step out onto the beautiful Piazza Navona for a spot of sightseeing. As well as being right outside one of Rome's most beloved squares, you're only an eight-minute stroll to the Pantheon and a fourteen-minute walk to the Trevi Fountain. Back to the home itself, you'll find a bright and airy open-plan living space that makes great use of the layout with stylish panel dividers. It's a minimalist, Art Deco-inspired interior with white sofas, reclaimed furnishings, abstract artwork and a pastel pink and orange colour scheme – we loved the subtle white beamed ceilings overhead too. Steeped in Rome's rich history and culture, this home is a real collector's item.

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...
