A Historic Building Without an Elevator:

The penthouse is located on the third floor of a historic building constructed atop a Roman temple dedicated to Hercules and Neptune. The lack of an elevator is a typical feature of buildings protected by the Fine Arts Commission in Rome’s historic center. It is therefore not recommended for people with mobility issues or those carrying large luggage.

An Unbeatable Location:

From this timeless residence, you can easily walk to Rome’s most iconic sights:
• Piazza Navona and the Pantheon (5 minutes)
• Castel Sant’Angelo and St. Peter’s Basilica (15 minutes)
• Trevi Fountain and Piazza di Spagna (20 minutes)
• Trastevere, with its authentic and vibrant atmosphere (10 minutes)

This apartment offers a truly authentic experience, steeped in the charm of history and far removed from the hustle and bustle of modern life. If you’re looking to experience Rome in a home that feels like it belongs to another era, while still enjoying essential modern comforts, this is your chance.

Nestled in Rome’s historic center, between Campo de’ Fiori and Trastevere, this exceptional penthouse offers a unique experience suspended in time. The apartment occupies the top floor of a medieval tower once owned by the Lancia family, relatives of the Farnese princes.

Staying in this home means stepping back into the past while enjoying modern comforts. Surrounded by antique furnishings protected by the Fine Arts of Rome—part of the prestigious Opera Lucifero Foundation—this space effortlessly combines history and luxury. While offering amenities such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and other contemporary comforts, the atmosphere retains the timeless elegance of a bygone era.

Spaces and Features:
• 50 sqm thoughtfully designed to comfortably accommodate up to 3 people.
• Two separate sleeping areas: one bedroom with a double bed and a sofa bed in the living room, separated by elegant sliding doors for privacy.
• Fully equipped kitchen, inspired by the Baroque perspectives of Borromini, from the nearby Palazzo Spada.
• A characterful bathroom, inspired by an Islamic boudoir, with a shower, bidet, and a sink made from an ancient Roman baptismal font.
• Private balcony offering breathtaking views of the rooftops of Rome and the domes of Sant’Andrea della Valle and San Carlo ai Catinari.

A Jewel Between the Past and Present:

This apartment graced the cover of Architectural Digest, thanks to its Louis XVI-style decor: angels and intertwining tree branches against a painted sky serve as the backdrop to a canvas depicting Diana, the goddess of the moon. The furniture dates back to the 17th century, and the porcelain is part of the historic Giustiniani collection. Watercolors painted by the homeowner adorn the walls, adding a personal artistic touch.
