Embracing Rome's identity as the world's oldest city, Glass Bonbon stands out for its stunning classical interiors featuring marble floors, antique furniture, glass chandeliers and traditional tapestry curtains. Elegant Roman touches adorn every room and incorporate Rome's vast history into the home's design. We particularly love the main living room's parlour-like entrance which gives way to an open space and its own bureau – perfect for guests who work remotely. Looking up at the high ceilings, notice the stunning artistic plasterwork – you'll discover that many of the original architectural features have been restored and protected over the years. When you've soaked it all up at home, it's time to venture and explore more of Rome's extensive history and breathtaking architecture. You'll be a twenty-five-minute metro journey from the city's iconic Colosseum and the ancient ruins of Rome, and even closer to Castel Sant'Angelo – a twelve-minute walk away.

About Prati
Prati sits cheek by jowl with Vatican City - not that you would necessarily know from within. The newest of Rome's districts, built between 1873-1921, its road plan was designed so that none of the streets would have St. Peter’s Dome in the background, a reflection of the tension between the new Italian state and the Vatican during its construction.
