Sistina Charm

Sistina Charm: Lazio

From the towering ceiling, glass wall, exposed brick, and spiral staircase, we can’t get enough of this home’s industrial architecture. The furniture is designed by Angelo, the incredibly talented owner, and made on custom by local craftsmen. It's a modern and breathable space to unwind after an afternoon exploring the world's most ancient city. Whether you're reading a good book in the luscious garden out front or enjoying a little snooze in the mezzanine bedroom, you'll find a relaxing ambience that will soon have you feeling well-rested. Beyond this sanctuary of calm, you're sat on the quiet street of Borgo Pio, halfway between Castel Sant'Angelo and St. Peter's Basilica – an ideal starting point for those looking to explore the city on foot. Walk to the Vatican City in just sixteen minutes or in the other direction to the Trevi Fountain, a couple of kilometres from your door.
