The dining table can be folded and lifted into the bookshelves. This will enable you to lay down on the futon (a large sofa bed), and keep watching the views, or the seagulls gently hovering over the sky. The furniture, the fittings, the lighting are impeccable.

The opposite view of the terrace of the penthouse enables you to see the entire Spanish Steps - Borghese Gardens district, which is perched on a hill, with the Seagulls penthouse projecting as its foremost observation point towards the old city centre (Centro Storico). The terrace has now a new covering. Please see the new covering here.

The entire penthouse is the uppermost part of a high building, making it higher than all other palaces. Moreover, as shown and explained in the top photo, the attic projects from the Spanish Steps district (which is perched on a hill) into the old city centre, making it a natural observation tower into the historical centre.

One of the many views from the penthouse terrace (and also from its windows!):

The column of Piazza Mignanelli dedicated to the Immaculate Conception and St. Mary. You can single out the tribute of flowers which every Pope leaves every year on Dec. 8. The dome in the forefront is of the Church San Carlo al Corso. In the distance you can see first the imposing Palazzo di Giustizia (Rome's Superior Court), nicknamed by Romans "Palazzaccio" (Ugly palace) as it is imposing but without the typical Italian charm. In the distance you see St. Peter's dome by Michelangelo, and the Vatican area.

Towards North, you can see, among others, the Borghese Gardens and the Villa Medici (seat of the French Academy of Fine Arts). The obelisk is situated in the Piazza Trinita' dei Monti, where the Spanish Steps lead to. The square takes its name from the Church of the Trinita' dei Monti (Trinity of Mounts), very imposing and dominating the entire district. The main terrace is app. 50 square meters large.

The interior of the penthouse is very refined and one can appreciate the work of the designer, as well as the refined taste of the owners. Every room, every corner is carefully conceived and well thought of, with utmost taste and attention. Turquoise is the dominant colour of the walls, and white of the ceilings (where you find also beautiful and perfectly renovated chestnut beams).

Nominally you find two bedrooms and two bathrooms, yet the penthouse actually comprises two *suites*, each with own door, own en-suit bathroom (bath-tub with hand-held shower and shower enclosure respectively), and with a desk. The twin beds suite is also endowed with a very cozy terrace (the second of the penthouse), with beautiful panoramic views of Rome.

The room has windows on both sides, and a complete furniture: ample wardrobes, desk, chest of drawers, matrimonial bed. From the window you can see views of the Spanish Steps and of the domes in the area, all the way until St. Peter's.
