All the streets near the Spanish Steps have a distinct personality. Via San Giacomo is endowed with elegant palaces, but above all it has a unique feature: traffic circulation is forbidden, only car park is allowed. The result is a street with a special feel of charm and silence, which are rare in the Spanish Steps area. The silence is broken at times by the children of the grammar school (palace to the left) in the morning. The palace of the Regina, the second on the right side of the street in the right photo, is very elegant. We have inspected many palaces in the Spanish Steps area,
but we have never seen one so marvellously renovated, and
with such a mannerly feel. The hall is very ample, and it
is followed by a large court, decorated with many plants
in large vases. One is impressed by the combination of elegance
and quiet in the Spanish Steps area, renowned for its charm
but also for its noise.
The palace includes a concierge, and selected offices.
Notably, there is a violin maker, the studio of a Japanese high fashion firm, and also the administrative offices of the Lyon Bookshop, the oldest English bookshop in Rome. Every section of the palace is equipped with elevator.The stairs, the landings, the halls, just everything is spacious, elegant, quiet, bright, prepared with utmost taste, and spotless. There are plants in large vases everywhere. back to top
