Accommodates 2+1 — 2 Bedrooms
— 2 Baths — Terrace
We couldn't believe our luck
at finding this elegant 2-story flat in what is perhaps Rome's
most prestigious street. Prestigious, but not stodgy. We just
love this neighborhood. The owner describes the flat as follows:
"It is my grandmother's and it is quite literally a small
jewel. It is filled with period furniture, antique books,
and lovely paintings. [We want only] people who can appreciate
such a thing and who can give it all the tender loving care
it needs."
You enter the flat via elevator
or stairs. Inside is a foyer with a closet. Beyond, away from
the street, are two bedrooms: a small master bedroom with
queen-size bed, desk, bookcase, chairs, and a large closet.
This bedroom has an en-suite bath with hand-held shower over
tub. It also has an old and somewhat noisy air-conditioning
unit built into the wall. (We found this a godsend during
our own stay in July 1997.) Most important, it gives out onto
a balcony overlooking the garden of the Palazzo Spada. The
second bedroom is much smaller, the size of a large
closet, with one built-in single bed. Beds in both bedrooms
have good mattresses. Next to the second bedroom is the second
bath, with shower only.
The kitchen is also on this
level, with large window, small table and chairs, and ample
counter space. Fridge, stove, sink, washing machine, independent
hot water heater. No dishwasher.
The living/dining room has parquet
floors and two full-length windows with double-pane glass
overlooking Via Giulia and the Tiber. (There's definitely
traffic noise in this room from the Lungotevere with the windows
open.) There is a large antique dining table with seating
for 6. A sofa seating 4 comfortably, plus 3 armchairs, a desk,
and various little tables, sideboards, TV, etc., complete
the room.
A carpeted staircase leads upstairs
to a booklined study with desk and several armchairs. The
study opens onto a terrace surrounded by jasmine plants and
facing Via Giulia and the Tiber (with traffic noise). On the
other side of the study is a small area with an entire wall
of closets which contain the owners' private possessions and
are locked.
Across from the locked closet
spaces is a door which opens out onto a huge terrace (quiet)
overlooking the garden of the Palazzo Spada and the rear of
the Palazzo Farnese, both buildings among the glories of Renaissance
Rome. This terrace, too, is full of plants, and there is a
small room off the terrace containing all the somewhat rickety
terrace furniture.
There is a telephone for both
incoming and outgoing calls. In addition, there is a separate
DSL line so that you can easily connect your laptop to the
internet at high speed. There is a modest weekly charge for
this service.
A delightful and elegant apartment
for 2 or 3 persons (not 4 persons under any circumstances)
in the very heart of Old Rome.
