Domus Colosseo Penthouse with Spectacular 360° View from the Rooftop Garden

PENTHOUSE WITH VIEWS
Domus Colosseo offers a big and luxury penthouse (130 m² plus 130 m² of terraces) arranged on three floors with a SPECTACULAR 360° VIEW OVER ANCIENT ROME. Enjoy the exclusive breathtaking view from its 3 terraces and windows: a view that in May 2008 was filmed by National Geographic for the programme “City Chase” in Rome.

BOOKING REQUESTS - IMPORTANT:
During high season (April 1 - November 1) and very high season (Christmas - New Year - Epiphany, Easter, August 15 holidays) the apartment is generally rented on a weekly basis and shorter/longer bookings are accepted according to the apartment calendar, i.e. when they do not leave any gap, or as A LAST MINUTE REQUEST, if the apartment is still available in the last few weeks before booking.

IDEAL FOR FAMILIES AND GROUPS LOOKING FOR A VERY CENTRAL LOCATION, IT IS OF COURSE IDEAL ALSO FOR A COUPLE OR EVEN A SINGLE PERSON WHO WANTS A LOCATION TO REMEMBER FOREVER!

AND IT IS PERFECT FOR SMART WORKING ON THE BIG TABLE IN FRONT OF THE TERRACE AND THE GOOD WIFI!

The penthouse can host up to a maximum of 6 overnight guests (5 adults and 1 child).

IN CASE OF INTEREST FROM AN ADDITIONAL SMALL GROUP, ON VRBO WE ALSO RENT A SMALL UNIT IN THE SAME BLOCK, with the entrance in the parallel street. This is a unit with a period charm in a building from the 1910s and can host up to a maximum of 4 overnight guests (2 adults plus 2 children). In case of interest in renting it together with the penthouse, check availability and send an enquiry/book it at https://www.vrbo.com/en-gb/p11141830?adultsCount=6&uni_id=6173101. In sending an enquiry or in booking it, always communicate the connection with the penthouse rental.

At only two-minutes walk from the COLOSSEUM and the IMPERIAL FORUMS, the penthouse is PERFECT FOR VISITING ANCIENT ROME WHILE COMFORTABLY FEELING AT HOME.

The space of the entire property (260 m2: 130 inside and 130 outside) allows ease of living both inside (an inviting living room, a large dining table for 10 people, a spectacular Belvedere) and outside with its terraces on 3 floors. It is equipped with FULL COMFORTS (Jacuzzi hot tub, Internet wi-fi, air conditioning, smart TV, washer, dryer, dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave, elevator, iron, city guides etc.).

OUTDOOR SPACES AND STUNNING VIEWS ARE THE MAIN TRAIT OF THIS PENTHOUSE. Views play the leading role: inside, the numerous windows typical of the Fifties bring a unique mixture of light and views into the rooms, while outside the three terraces offer special outdoor spaces typical of the 1950s: the “Dolce Vita” years when the penthouse was built.
Three terraces for 130 m² in all, renovated using authentic materials from the Roman tradition (like travertine and marble-chip floor tiles) and furnished with table, chairs, deckchairs, sun beds, Mediterranean plants, offer:
• on the 6th floor a wonderful living and dining room in the open air;
• on the 7th floor a nice living space with an outdoor shower and view on the Basilica of S. Maria Maggiore;
• on the 8th floor an exclusive roof garden (50 m²) with 360° view on Rome.

A MINIMALIST INTERIOR DESIGN STYLE characterizes the apartment:
- light wood furniture, accompanied by shades of white and beige in textiles;
- no curtains that would exclude the external views;
- few tabletop accessories and books on the shelves;
- details maintained with particular attention to vintage restoration.
This style is A PRECISE CHOICE TO HIGHLIGHT:
- the AMAZING VIEWS offered by the windows of the apartment;
- the selection of MAPS AND PAINTINGS by famous authors that remind of the history of Rome, since maps by Pirro Ligorio, Vasi, Nolli, Piranesi and paintings by Giuliano Geleng (Fellini's scenographer), accompany you THROUGH THE CENTURIES UP TO THE FIFTIES, WHEN THE BUILDING GREW (1952-54).

The penthouse is regularly authorised as a tourist rental apartment by local Authorities with the National Identification Code (CIN) n. IT058091C2CJZ9N3KN, the Regional Identification Code 27994 (plus the corresponding QR code) and RADAR ID 32617.
PARKING. In the Celio district parking on payment (indicated by blue lines) or free (white lines) is available on the street. Covered parking on payment is available in a garage in the next street.

TOURIST TAX. Known as "Tassa di Soggiorno" in Italian, the Rome Tourist Tax is a charge paid upon check-in or check-out for any form of accommodation within city limits. It € 6 per night per person (above 10 years old), to be paid to the Municipality of Rome for the first 10 nights only.

IMPORTANT.
At the moment
- one glass of a door window in the entrance is partially broken: it happened during one of the last rentals in May and it takes ca. one month to be repaired. It is a special double glass (thermic, acoustic, etc.) and only the inner side is cracked. The glass is now protected by tape and a decoration with ivy as you can see in the last photo of the apartment: this way it is safe if it is not hit;
- a portion of the view in front of the 6th floor terrace is disturbed by works in progress (e.g. cranes) for the construction of the Line-C subway, that can produce noise. Up to now no guest has had any problem because of these works.
Both of these aspects are certainly minor, but it is always important to be informed in advance.
