Roman Garden

Roman Garden: Lazio

This pied-à-terre makes for a wonderful base for Roman holidays. It’s a comfortable and convenient home in the lively Trastevere district, with all the major sights within easy reach.

The incredible views of the city from Belvedere del Gianicolo are a ten-minute walk away, and you have your pick of some of the best restaurants right on your doorstep. It takes twenty-one minutes to meander along the river to Castel Sant’Angelo, and twenty-seven minutes to reach the Roman Forum – slightly longer if you stop into bars and cafes for refreshments, which we absolutely would. If the crowds and heat start to tire you, you might like to recharge your batteries at Orto Botanico di Roma. This university-owned botanical garden is a five-minute stroll from the front door, and is a haven.

The apartment itself is a nice calm space, with windows looking out onto the garden below. Everything you need for a city break is here, so you can really make it a home from home. Whip up tasty breakfasts to enjoy before heading out into the city, and spend your evenings sipping wine and relaxing, watching the sunset over the city from the comfort of your living room.
