The Chocolate Box

The Chocolate Box: Lazio

Harking back to the grand aesthetic of eighteenth-century Italy, this remarkable apartment is all Rococo style antique furniture, original frescos, intricate coffered ceilings and rich walnut wood. Recline aristocratically on the sumptuous cream couch, nibbling olives, before waltzing out onto your private balcony—we can almost hear the plucked tones of a harpsichord in the distance. Continue your noble Italian daydream with a wander through the narrow cobbled streets, surrounded by the tall, stately buildings of the ancient Piazza Navona. And when you’re ready to return to the twenty-first century, drive ten minutes to the acclaimed National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art and spend indulgent evenings in Michelin Starred restaurants—Rome has twenty-three to choose from.

Home truths:
*The mezzanine level's ceiling is only 2.1 metres high so our taller guests should mind their heads
*There's no lift in the building so it isn't suitable for those with limited mobility
*The street below can be a little noisy but you can dampen the sounds by closing the shutters
* Child-friendly amenities such a cot are available upon request
*If you're planning on staying for a while, please note there's no washing machine in the apartment
