OUR ROME APARTMENT #2
Located in a 14th century Roman palazzo in the historic center of Rome, this very large, and luxurious, two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment adjoins Rome Apartment #1, such that large families sometimes occupy them both, wanting four bedrooms and four bathrooms. They occupy the entire “secondo piano” [American third floor] of the centrally-located palazzo. Although no elevator, the apartments are an easy walk up.
The plumbing, electrical, heating and air-conditioning systems are thoroughly updated. Our apartments both have new and fully-equipped kitchens [with dishwashers], new bathrooms, new heating and air conditioning [with individual controls], telephone, high speed internet, stereo systems, international [including English-speaking] TV’s, clothes washers and dryers, and hairdryers.
Both apartments were once occupied by an important merchant and feature antique coffered and beamed wood ceilings with gilt highlights. With the assistance of a well-known Rome architect, the apartments have been beautifully furnished with oriental carpets over oak floors, Italian antique furniture, and original artwork. The New York Times wrote an article on our apartments.
Rome Apartment #2 is large, approximately 1550 square feet. The entry area to Rome Apartment #2 features a beautiful gold-leaf, marble-topped Renaissance table, and leads to the very large salone, which itself features an antique oriental rug once owned by a famous Italian movie actress. The antique dining table is large enough to comfortably accommodate 8 for dinner. The kitchen is light and fully equipped [including dishwasher]. One bedroom has a queen size bed and its own bathroom with walk-in shower. The other [very large] bedroom has two twin beds that are usually combined to form a king-sized bed, a writing desk, and its own large bathroom with tub/shower. There are many closets throughout the apartment, as well as washer and dryer, and high speed WiFi. Apartment #2 is also fully stocked with guidebooks and other books on Italy for our guests.
We also have a guide we wrote on how all systems in the apartment operate, restaurants and shops in the neighborhood, important phone numbers [pharmacies, etc.], and our Rome manager lives in an adjoining building.
