Searching for the ultimate penthouse pad in Rome with views to die for? An impressive two-level penthouse in a historic building overlooking the Quirinale gardens – with stunning views over the Eternal City – is now on the market.
You’ll be delighted by this property from the moment you enter the marble entrance way and first discover the sleeping quarters which sit on the lower level of this ‘upside down’ layout (it optimises the views). The master suite is vast yet comfortable, complete with bathroom, dressing area and sitting area. The interior design has merged the historic sophistication of features such as the floors with Asian flourishes to create a warm, comforting space.
The bathroom is large and to a standard one might expect in a luxury hotel, albeit with a charming eccentricity in the design – who doesn’t love a submerged bath you can to climb steps up to?
On this floor there is a stylish and spacious second bedroom which also comes with its own bathroom and private sitting area to deliver in-house guests the same privacy and luxury the owner will be enjoying.
Contrary to most properties, climb up the stylish curved staircase to find the run of reception rooms, the most impressive of which is the enormous living room, sumptuous in its layout. The views from the windows – and there are many windows to allow the room to wash with light – is simply incredible.
This floor also holds a formal dining room with space for large parties to sit together (with wine supplied from your own cellar that comes with this property). It leads straight off the living area but can easily be closed off with sliding doors for privacy.
There are two terraces on this level and can be arranged to provide seating areas, dining areas and sunbathing areas as required, with umbrellas used for keeping off the harshest summer sun. There is also a roof terrace – the ideal spot for watching the sunset over the Vatican.
There is over 400 sq m of space within this penthouse and all of it is masterfully designed to feel elegant, comfortable and washed with the Roman light that reminds how much there is to see just outside the doors.
For the occasions when the delicious Italian food out on the streets doesn’t dominate, there is a neatly-designed and convenient kitchen with an attached utility room. This sits close to the staff quarters to allow those hired to help to move to the necessary areas easily.
The penthouse comes with access to a double garage in addition to the wine cellar, as well as a full-time concierge service for handling small tasks or local requests.
This atmospheric property in located right in the heart of historic Rome, with easy access to train stations for moving around the city. Rome’s main airport (Fiumicino Airport) is 32 km outside the city centre – this is where most international and national flights arrive and leave from. There is a smaller airport used by budget airlines just 16 km (Ciampino), while Rome’s main station has high speed trains to Milan, Florence and Bologna.
