We dedicated three pages to this fine apartment. Please click the underscored text:
(1) floor plan, foyer, first corridor, sitting room and patio
(this page).
(2) master bedroom, master
bathroom, second corridor and kitchen.
(3) third corridor, single
bedroom, second bathroom and second double bedroom.
This charming, large apartment is situated in the very heart of Rome,
at the second floor of a vintage "palazzo". There
is no elevator but the stairs are very easy to climb. The
apartment is 140 sq. Mts. large (app. 1,400 sq. Ft.). Moreover
there is a 50 sq. Mts. patio (app. 500 sq.Ft.). The apartment
is bright, and extremely quiet (a find in Rome). Via della
Croce on the contrary is lively, although only pedestrians
are allowed. It includes characteristic restaurants, trendy
cafes, fashionable boutiques and cosy grocery stores.
The Spanish Steps are a few blocks away. All the other smart streets around the Steps can be found here: Via del Babuino with its antiquaries, Via Margutta with its art studios, Via Condotti with its ateliers (Valentino, Versace, Armani, Ferragamo, Fendi etc.) and jewelers (Bulgari and Armani). There are also international book shops, a renowned academy of music (Santa Cecilia), and the famous Caffè Greco.
For a more detailed presentation with many photos of this must-see quarter and street, please visit the pages presenting the Spanish Steps quarter, where you will find a page dedicated to Via della Croce.

The sitting-dining room is spacious and elegant. Like all the rooms, it has high-vault wooden beams ceilings. It includes a fireplace, and a large 17th century map of Rome. It was made by geographer of that period, and it so accurate that it is used to understand in detail the exact layout of the town and of its buildings even today!
There is also an elegant and very comfortable double sofa
bed (with wooden slats and quality mattress).
The sitting room also includes
a nice walnut table, which can be made larger for
six persons. There are six chairs upholstered with
velvet (only four are shown in these photos), following
