Frattina Penthouse - Rome
 print
this page
Accommodates 5— 3 Bedrooms
— 3 Baths — Terrace
One of the great vacation rentals
in Rome, at an accessible price, the Frattina Penthouse occupies
the top two floors of the same building that contains our
smaller Frattina Flats (see
separate page). The building is a typically well-maintained
palazzo in the very center of the Spanish Steps neighborhood
of Rome, home to the Eternal City’s most elegant shops
and caffés. Piazza di Spagna, the Pantheon, Piazza
del Popolo, and the Italian Parliament are a short walk away,
and you are surrounded by delightful restaurants such as Da
Mario and Nino and the Caffé Greco. Public transport
is excellent, plus the Via del Corso is one of the few streets
in Rome where a taxi can be hailed at virtually any time of
day or night.
The Roman owners recently remodeled
and furnished our Frattina Penthouse to a very high standard.
It has independently-controlled central heating and air-conditioning;
telephone; internet hookup; DSL line; satellite TV, clothes
washer; and household help available for a fee. Lighting is
excellent, as is closet space. Windows are double-glazed for
maximum quiet. The feeling of the flat is not one of excessive
luxury or formality. There’s a kind of California informal-yet-elegant
atmosphere overall.
A group of couples or an extended
family could take the Penthouse together with the other Frattina
flats, up to a maximum of 20 persons at any one time.
Upon entering the building,
you walk up about 15 steps to the elevator which takes you
to the top floor. From here, an additional dozen or so steps
lead directly into the penthouse’s beautifully proportioned
living/dining room, along the whole length of which runs a
gorgeous covered terrace plenty big enough for lounging and
eating out. The terrace enjoys views of, among many other
things, the dome of St. Peter’s and the top of the Victor
Emanuel Monument.
At the far end of the living
room, a half-dozen steps lead up to a second dining area and
separate kitchen containing everything. On this level lies
one of the two principal bedrooms, not large, with an indivisible
matrimonial bed, and giving out onto its own private jewel
of a terrace. The en-suite bath has a shower only.
Back to the stairs leading into
the living room: A short hall leads into a tiny but very charming
single bedroom with its own private bath (shower only) and
a huge walk-in closet which serves as well as extra storage
for the rest of the flat.
Again back to the stairs leading
into the living room: A normal flight of stairs ascends to
the second master bedroom, again not huge, but very charming,
furnished with an indivisible matrimonial bed, with its own
en-suite bathroom (shower over tub) and leading out onto its
own private terrace.
So we’re talking about
an absolute maximum of 5 persons (no exceptions made to this)
in two matrimonial bedrooms, one single, three baths, and
three terraces. The relative equality of, and the physical
separation between, the two principal bedroom suites makes
the Frattina Penthouse ideal for a party of two couples traveling
together.
The Frattina Penthouse books
very, very early. We urge you to contact Vacanza Bella if
Rome is in your plans, and please have flexible dates if your
heart is set on the Frattina Penthouse.
