Via della Panetteria
Description
The apartment is situated on the south of Piazza di Spagna, a few steps from one of Rome’s more surprising sights, easy to stumble upon by accident – the Fontana di Trevi, a huge, very Baroque gush of water over statues and rocks built onto the backside of a Renaissance palace; it’s fed by the same source that surfaces at the Barcaccia fountain in Piazza di Spagna. There was a Trevi fountain, designed by Alberti, around the corner in Via dei Crociferi, a smaller, more modest affair by all accounts, but Urban VIII decided to upgrade it in line with his other grandiose schemes of the time and employed Bernini, among others, to design an alternative. Work didn’t begin, however, until 1732, when Niccolò Salvi won a competition held by Clemente XII to design the fountain, and even then it took 30 years to finish the project. Salvi died in the process, his lungs shot by the time spent in the dank waterworks of the fountain.
The Trevi Fountain is now, of course, the place you come to chuck in a coin if you want to guarantee your return to Rome, though you might remember Anita Ekberg throwing herself into in La Dolce Vita (there are police here to discourage you from doing the same thing). Newly restored, it’s one of the city’s most vigorous outdoor spots to hang out.
The apartment (about 110 msq) is on two levels on the second floor of an 18th century apartment building without elevator.
On the lower level there is a living room furnished with a double sofa bed, nice furniture, and a kitchenette fully equipped with electric stove, oven, fridge, pots and tableware. There is also a bathroom with a shower-stall.
On the upper level there are two bedrooms; the master bedroom complete with king-size bed and the second bedroom complete with twin beds. There is also a bathroom with a bath-tub and hand-held shower.
The gas heating is independent.
The apartment, which is very bright and quiet, is complete with linens and has satellite colour TV and air-conditioning.
