Luxury apartment where you can enjoy a privileged life style appropriate to the finest neighborhood in Rome.

Location

On the corner of Via Condotti in Rome, the Renata apartment is in the heart of all that is elegant in the Eternal City. A two minute walk puts you in front of the Spanish Steps, a location that is so popular because it is so central. Stroll for 15 minutes and you can find yourself at most of the noteworthy sites of historic Rome.

Exterior

The building mirrors the neighborhood, a proper 'palazzo' built about 250 years ago when the Princes Torlonia were amassing their fortunes by managing the fortunes of the Vatican and build the palace across the street.

The apartment is on the third floor (second, European designation) and adjoins the Valentina apartment that, if available, can be rented at the same time to sleep up to eleven people, one of whom would occupy the sofa-bed in Renata.

Interior

Spacious and quiet elegance typify this fine apartment. Two large windows light the living room overlook Via Bocca di Leona.

Two white sofas are grouped by the working fireplace that features stonework from the ancestral home in southern Italy. The hand-hewn ceiling beams have been exposed to display the room as it was originally designed. Also in the living room are some fine antique pieces, a sideboard, and a dining table that will seat six. The living room has a television with satellite reception. The apartment is wired for high-speed internet.

One sofa converts to a bed for one person.

The flow is from the entry to living room or to down the hall to one bedroom. Off of the living room, one enters a small hall that leads to either the second bedroom or the kitchen.

The floors are tile with carefully selected patterns.

From the entry way, you can enter a bedroom suite that has twin beds that may be combined as a wide queen. The room has a set of square-framed antique prints above the bed and across the room the design is balanced with a mirror in horizontal strops. The closet area is great for travelers with spaces for stowing your suitcases and open shelves and rods that keep your items in view. The closet leads to a bathroom with a jacuzzi tub with shower.

Through the living room, you enter the second bedroom with a brass bedstead for the queen-sized bed. This bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with a fixed shower head over jacuzzi tub. This bedroom has a special feature, a small study with a private balcony.

The kitchen is equipped with a four burner stove top, oven, dishwasher, small refrigerator/freezer, and drip coffee maker. Also included for the guests are dishes, flatware, and pots and pans for guest use.

The kitchen also has its own sunny balcony that is glassed in to form the breakfast area. This pleasant area is great for casual meals. The laundry nook is accessed from this area.

Light housekeeping every other weekday.

Charming

Submitted: April 17, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Our family (2 adults and 2 children) stayed here for 5 nights and had a great stay. The location was fantastic. It is in a lovely neighborhood - pretty, quiet, etc but you can walk out the door and be in the middle of great shopping in minutes. You are also able to easily walk to other areas of Rome for sightseeing, shopping or eating.

The apartment itself is quite charming. It is attractively decorated and well cared for. It worked well for our family - there was enough space for everyone. The landlord was very gracious and she or her porter were always available if needed.

This is a true, high quality apartment. Gracious hostess, fine furnishings, antiques, quality linens and towels. Decorated with style. I saw so many ads for "luxury" apartments that really were not at all, it was good to find the real thing.

Very attractive

Submitted: October 27, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
The Renata apartment was very nice, roomy,and very attractive. In particular, the bathrooms were among the nicest I've experienced in Europe.

Despite the very busy area a few blocks from the Spanish Steps, it was a quiet peaceful refuge after a busy day.

We found the local area restaurant recommendations were good. Anna's recommendation of a restaurant called "Propaganda" in the Colosseo area was very nice for lunch.

We have recommended Paris Perfect in the past and will now recommend Italy Perfect in the future

Renata Apt- A wonderful Roman Base Camp

Submitted: October 21, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Our stay at the Renata apt was our second visit to Rome. The apt was very well equipped and well suited to a comfortable stay for two couples. The location was very convenient for both walking, transit and finding a taxi. As outlined in the Italy Perfect handbooks, there were many nice restaurants nearby both modest in price and more upscale. The apt also had many travel guides available regarding Rome and Italy. . The materials provided were very comprehensive and helpful, even for experienced travelers.
We arrived on a Sunday and the greeter was leaving on a vacation, so we got a less than complete orientation. Fortunately , the housekeeper Nelly was available to address some minor issues.
The driver recommendation, Stefano, was terrific. He was very responsive to emails and texts.
Overall, we were very pleased.

Great location, beautiful home

Submitted: October 19, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We really enjoyed our stay near the Spanish Steps in the beautiful Renata. It was very nice to have a "home" to come home to every night after a busy day in the bustling city. There was more than enough room for ourselves and our two children. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit.

Our family of five (3 boys --12,10 and 7) just had a wonderful stay at the Renata. As others have mentioned, the location is fabulous, the furnishings most comfortable and everything about the apartment was as advertised. Love Rome and love the Renata!

Spectacular

Submitted: August 24, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
First time "apartment renter" I was a bit nervous about the entire experience, as we are typically hotel people. This changed immediately upon arrival, as the location was spectacular - who wouldn't want Gucci, Pucci, Prada and Versace as neighbors?? Everything within walking distance - we never needed a cab, except for airport transport. The apartment was perfect! Italy Perfect! Well appointed, secure, and a tremendous experience. The perfect solution for a family traveling together - or even 2 couples, as the living space is key. Every day a violinist on the corner would serenade us too! We were ever so pleased with this apartment and location - a MUST see!

Perfect Winter Break

Submitted: January 29, 2012 Stayed: December 2011
If you want to have a perfect winter break in Rome, then I suggest that you stay at this home-away-from home apartment at the heart of the city. The apartment was exactly as per description and we could not have chosen a better location. We literally walk to all the restaurants, shops, and sights as per suggested in the welcome folders. I will be happy to recommend Italy Perfect to anyone who wish to have the perfect break.

As Advertised

Submitted: November 26, 2011 Stayed: November 2011
This is a lovely apartment in the heart of the best shopping area in Rome (I kidded with my wife that when the Versace street is relegated to a minor side street you know you're in a ritzy area). It's a short walk to the Spanish steps where you can easily find a cab. The apartment is spacious with two large bedrooms and baths. The decor is beautiful and artistic and the place is very clean. My only gripe is minor one, that the maid uses heavily scented soap on the wonderful linens and I'm allergic to fragrances (99.99% of the people would have found the fragrance delightful). When I brought this up to the owner, the maid rewashed my bed linens without the fragrance. I would highly recommend this apartment!

Great Location in Rome



Left on 07/30/2011 for a stay in July 2011
The apartment was spacious, well laid out and decorated. Fully air Conditioned was a nice touch so was the wonderful bottle of red wine when we arrived. Marcella our hostess greeted us upon arrival and was able to speak English. She made sure we were all setup before leaving and made us really feel at home. Located near the Spanish Steps in Rome, it was a shopping haven that my teenage daughters really appreciated. Highly recommended for a wonderful stay in Rome.
