Pensieri Stupendi

Pensieri Stupendi: Lazio

Let's not beat around the bush: the star of the show here is that unparalleled view of the Pantheon and the bustling piazza. It's an incredible sight, and it's all yours to enjoy from the small balcony. But to reduce this gorgeous flat to the view alone is a massive disservice. It's a real stunner, both inside and out – think plush sofas built for lounging, sleek marble countertops, luxurious bedding fit for royalty (which are turned daily for free), and of course, that beguiling printed wallpaper. We can go on and on about how much we adore this flat – don't even get us started on those chequerboard floors – but the fact that you can arrange services like massages and champagne on arrival make it even better. And the location speaks for itself. You are truly in the heart of the city, surrounded by markets, shops, cafes, restaurants, ice cream parlours – you name it, you're near it – while sights like the Piazza Navona and Trevi Fountain are just a short stroll away. What more could you want on a Roman holiday?

Home truths:
*There's no lift in the building, so you'll have to take the stairs to the first floor
*The shower and sink are open to the bedroom, so make sure you're comfortable if you're sharing the flat – the toilet has a door
*As should be evident, there's a fair amount of noise from the square below
*The balcony is small (it’s more of a balconette), but there is a bench to sit on to admire the view
