The Pietro One apartment, owned by one of the four most respected noble families in Lazio, is sunny and delightful. It is located within an historic palazzo on a small and lovely ancient square featured in many movies, with a lovely fountain restored by Bernini. The location is perfect since it is near the Tiber River, Tiberina Island, and the Teatro di Marcello. It is a 5 minute walk to the Campo de' Fiori to pick up flowers, vegetables and spices at the morning open-air market. Guests can stroll to the Campidoglio, Imperial Forum, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, or across the river to enchanting Trastevere, famous for its narrow streets and cozy restaurants.

Yet, you need not cross the river to find a restaurant. One of the top restaurants in Rome, Vecchia Roma, is 2 blocks away and another of our favorites, Sanpietrino, is right in the palazzo building with a private entrance from the courtyard. Taxis, trams or buses are just 2 blocks away at the Piazza di Torre Argentina. The apartment is on the second floor of the family palazzo, built in the 16th and 17th centuries, which has a doorman and elevator and an interior courtyard where one finds quiet beauty and ancient frescoes.

On the top floor of the palazzo, enter through a short entrance hall into the apartment's elegant living room. Adjoining is the formal dining room, also elegantly furnished with lovely antiques, and the small, well-equipped kitchen. Both the living room and the dining room have very high ceilings. Another short hall passes from the living room to two of the three lovely bedrooms-a king and a twin, each with an en suite bathroom with tub and each with its own loft with study and storage space. (Each loft also has a single bed, so that two extra guests can be accommodated.) There is a third bathroom on this floor with shower.

Twelve steps lead up to the third bedroom, a king. The apartment has a small, narrow balcony overlooking the rooftops of Rome. Rooms are air conditioned in the summer and well heated in the winter, making the Pietro a spectacular home base in Rome any time of the year for a week or month for people that appreciate this level of comfort and quality.
