Tucked into the old town, this intimate home offers a shaded sanctuary away from the Italian capital. Sitting on the ground floor in an enviable location, you have all the wonders of the city on your doorstep. Begin each day with a refreshing soak under the rainfall shower, then take a book from the kitchen shelf and put your feet up on the sofa. Regola is a waterside neighbourhood, built by the River Tiber. With plenty of places to eat and drink nearby, this church-dotted district has beauty everywhere you turn. Shop for books and antiques, or admire the architecture along the historic Via Giulia. Study the Roman ruins at Largo di Torre Argentina, then head to the Pantheon. Over the bridge, Vatican City awaits. There, you can see the world-famous frescoes by Michelangelo. This space is ideal for couples seeking a romantic getaway in the heart of Rome. With beamed ceilings and window shutters, the stylish apartment marries traditional features and modern living. After a glass of Italian wine, you can wind down by watching TV in bed. This sleek interior design is the minimalistic vision of a local architect.
