This aristocratic apartment in the historic center of Rome has been newly renovated to offer space, elegance, comfort and convenience to the city's most desirable attractions. The location simply could not be better, directly on the Tiber River next to Isola Tiberina (Tiberina Island), the Teatro di Marcello and Campo de' Fiori.

The apartment is on the quiet side of the building, away from the road along the river (Lungotevere dei Cenci); half of the windows open onto a large interior courtyard. Walk to the Forum, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon or across the river to enchanting Trastevere, famous for its narrow streets and cozy restaurants. But you need not cross the river to find a great restaurant. Two of our favorites in Rome — Piperno and Il Sanpietrino — are within three blocks.

An impressive doorways leads into the stately courtyard of this 19th-century neoclassical building. Take the elevator to the second floor, where this unusually quiet and bright apartment is located.

The Cenci Apartment has just been renovated and it shines, with gleaming wood floors, freshly painted walls and an attractive, modern kitchen. The high ceilings and tall windows of the foyer give the apartment a light and airy feeling.
