Renata Townhouse

Renata Townhouse can be found near the famous Spanish Steps in the heart of central Rome, the capital city of Italy, half down its west coast. The apartment is just sixteen kilometres from Rome’s international Ciampino Airport, which can be reached by either a taxi or a direct train ride.

The main Roma Termini train station is five minutes by the metro to Spagna station, hop into a cab, or pre-book a transfer with the concierge team. There is something for everyone to enjoy when you holiday in Rome, whether its ancient history, architecture, renaissance art, culture, food and fashion, or the simply joy of people watching, the Eternal City has got the lot.

Step outside the apartment and there is the iconic Piazza di Spagna, aka the Spanish steps, enjoy a cappuccino in the bustling square of Piazza Barberini, then make a wish at the famous sculpted marble Trevi fountain. Everywhere you go there are ornate churches, rich with decorative icons, don’t miss a visit to the nearby Santissima Trinita dei Monti, a Roman Catholic late Renaissance church above the Spanish Steps. Soak up the history of the city at The Pantheon, the Roman Forum, and the ancient Colosseum, which are all within walking distance. No visit to Rome is complete without a meander through the Vatican Museum art collection to see Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling, before a visit to the Basilica of St Peter. For some fine art, don’t miss the Borghese Gallery, set in a gorgeous garden, housing an incredible collection of Canova marble sculptures.

On the stroll back stop at Harry’s Bar for a Bellini, then walk down the Spanish steps and visit the Romantic poet Keat’s house, before sampling the English muffins at the famous Babington’s Tea Rooms, which has been there since 1893. Saunter down the oh so very fabulous Via dei Condotti, and window shop for world famous designer label fashion and exquisite hand crafted leather handbags. Go to the outskirts of the city and cross the Old Appian Way to discover the hidden treasures of the catacombs, join a guided tour, or make your own way there. If you fancy a day trip out of Rome, the town of Tivoli is only thirty kilometres away, where you can visit Hadrian’s Villa, and the exquisite Villa D’Este.

During the day dine on freshly made pasta and homemade ice cream, eat alfresco in one of the many squares, sit back and people watch as the world and the beautiful people pass by. In the evening make your way to the foodie heaven of Trastevere, and taste the delights of traditional Italian cooking, just like nonna used to make, in one of its many taverna style restaurants.
