Description

Property 1557152184 – Rome

4 Suites - Indoor Pool - Hammam

Location and Surrounding Area. Overlooking the famous gardens of Villa Borghese, Property 1557152184 is ideally located to explore Rome’s cultural highlights, artistic treasures and most important sites. Surrounded by elegant hotels and restaurants, the property faces the famous Villa Borghese, which supports 80 hectares of gardens and features several attractions that cannot be missed: housing what is often referred as “the queen of all private art collections”, Galleria Borghese boasts incredible paintings by Caravaggio, Raffaello and Tiziano, plus sensational sculptures by Bernini.

The villa is also a stone’s throw from the Colosseum, Rome’s great gladiatorial arena and the most thrilling of the city’s ancient sights. Inaugurated in AD 80, it was originally clad in travertine and covered by a huge canvas awning. Inside, tiered seating encircled the arena, itself built over an underground complex where animals were caged and stage sets prepared: games involved gladiators fighting wild animals or each other. Two thousand years on, and it is Italy’s top tourist attraction.

In less than fifteen minutes by car, you can easily reach the Pantheon, which is the best preserved of Rome’s ancient monuments and one of the most influential buildings in the Western world: while its greying exterior might look its age, it is still a unique experience to pass through its vast bronze doors and gaze up at the largest unreinforced concrete dome ever built. The villa is also a very few kilometers from the Fontana di Trevi, scene of Anita Ekberg’s late-night dip in “La Dolce Vita” and a flamboyant baroque ensemble of mythical figures and wild horses taking up the entire side of the 17th-century Palazzo Poli.

Property 1557152184 is also a stone’s throw from the Vatican Museums, which boast one of the world’s greatest art collections: exhibits range from Egyptian mummies and Etruscan bronzes to ancient busts, old masters and modern paintings. In this city of outstanding churches, none can hold a candle to St. Peter’s, Italy’s largest, richest and most spectacular basilica: its lavish interior contains many spectacular works of art and Italy’s most celebrated masterpieces. In less than fifteen minutes by car, you can also reach the Roman Forum, an impressive sprawl of ruins that was ancient Rome’s showpiece center, a district of temples, basilicas and vibrant public spaces.

Property 1557152184 is less than 40 km from Rome-Fiumicino International Airport Leonardo da Vinci (FCO) and Rome-Ciampino International Airport G.B. Pastine (CIA), 3 km from Rome Termini Train Station and 5 km from Rome Tiburtina Train Station. Villa Borghese is just 400 m from the villa, the Fontana di Trevi is 4 km, the Vatican Museums are 5 km, St. Peter’s basilica is 5 km, the Pantheon is 6 km, the Colosseum is 7 km, and the Roman Forum is 7 km.
