This comfortable apartment in the beating heart of bohemian Trastevere embodies the 1940s. Unpretentious design and elegant furniture are the cornerstones of the interior, while a sense of calm deliberation hangs in the air. It’s punctuated by simple drawings in pencil, and the stunning wardrobe door – a brilliant jade green with iron and brass detailing. Peeks of the Gianicolo hills from the bedroom’s balcony only add to the peaceful ambiance. After a rich espresso in the quaint kitchen, get to know your old-world neighbourhood. Sidle down ivy-clad alleyways to happen upon traditional ristorantes and artisan shops. Piazza di Santa Maria, a favoured meeting place for locals and newcomers alike, is a five-minute walk from your home. Walk on for another five and you’ll reach the Botanical Garden of Rome. With its monumental fountains and bamboo grove, it’s a serene retreat away from the hubbub.
