Located on historic Via del Babuino and just a three-minute walk from the Spanish Steps, this bright, colourful home in Rome’s Spagna neighbourhood is the perfect base for those looking to be in the heart of the city’s action. Decked out in vibrant pieces of art and an eclectic blend of furnishings, this apartment is full of character and creative flair. We love the Chesterfield-style sofa in the living room, the see-through dining room chairs and the large windows that proffer views over Rome’s tiled rooftops towards the Vatican. However, our favourite spot is the master bedroom’s private balcony, ready to welcome mornings over coffee while taking in the buzz of the street below. After a refreshing soak under the rainfall shower, or an at-home massage organised by your host, set out to see the sights. Aside from the Spanish Steps that are a stone’s throw away, you’re just a five-minute walk from Villa Medici, while just under a fifteen-minute stroll will bring you to the Trevi Fountain and the Piazza Navona. After a day of sightseeing, sample one of the countless trattorias along your street (the host is happy to make a booking for you) or sit down to an intimate meal at home. End the night with a spritz on the balcony, before retreating to the comfortable bedrooms for a dreamy night’s sleep.

Local guide


About Spagna

Spagna is, perhaps unsurprisingly, focussed around the eponymous Piazza di Spagna. Along with the Trevi fountain, it’s one of the most visited sights in the entire city. Things weren’t always so auspicious – in the 16th century, the area was Rome’s red light district, but today it’s better known for the vine-covered romance of Via Margutta, home to Gregory Peck's impoverished journalist in Roman Holiday. This is not the place...
