A charming penthouse with terraces overlooking St. Peter's Dome. WIFI/AC
It's a private apartment in the residential and exclusive district Vatican-Aurelio, near Vatican City, surrounded by green with three terraces. Living room with fireplace (and extra sofa bed), bedroom with walk-in closet, kitchen, bathroom, parquet. Staying at this penthouse is really unique and is not the same experience like booking an ordinary hotel room, or an Ikea-style mini-apartment conceived as a holiday-house, like hundreds else in Rome: it's my personal home where I have lived with my family for 15 years, and it is furnished and equipped as a real luxury home in Rome, with views overlooking St. Peter's Dome and Villa Pamphili. It's a bright apartment on the top floor of an elegant building, decorated with antique furniture and paintings, also with a touch of modern art, antique mirrors, stone fireplace, mansard ceiling with chestnut beams. I have also added an exotic taste, with colours and decorations I brought back from my travels all around the world. Three terraces assure privacy and livability, for an alfresco lunch or dinner, or for a relaxing moment reading your favourite book or taking a suntan, when having a break from exploring Rome. The lounge and dining area are very charming and with a warm atmosphere. You also have a fireplace, but it is some time I don't turn it on, so I don't suggest to give it a try... You can enjoy your meals in front of the view of St.Peter, or outside on the terrace, where you find teak armchairs and dining table. The apartment occupies the whole floor, the space at disposal of guests is about 85sqmt, and consists of a living room (45sqmt) divided in different areas (two sofas with tv, libraries, three armchairs, dining table) with two equipped terraces and fireplace; bedroom with walk-in closet and terrace; a fully equipped kitchen; bathroom with shower and bathtub. In the living room, on request, it is possible to prepare a single sofa bed for a third guest. The wide space allows to have the extra bed, not effecting the livability of the lounge common areas, like double sofas with tv and fireplace, libraries and dining area. Heating, air conditioning. Internet WIFI, TV and Stereo system. The apartment is located on the top floor of an elegant building. The elevator goes to the third floor, and to reach the apartment you have to climb the stairs on foot for two floors. Once there you can enjoy a 360 degree panoramic view of Rome. Dear guests, I'm glad to share my home with you, I kindly ask you to treat the property with respect, like friends who I invite to come at my place would do.

About the host
Hosted by Flaminia
Hi, I'm Flaminia the owner of St. Peter's Rooftops, a lovely and elegant penthouse of about 85sqmt where I lived together with my family. I have born in Rome, and I started hosting since august 2015, with great success. With some of my guests from all over the world we've also become friends. I like meeting new people and host them with kindness and attention. Like you, I'm also travelling quite intensely in this time of my life, therefore I'm glad you can enjoy my home, the beauty and the charm of Rome, and the special view you can have from my terraces. I love travelling mainly in remote and pristine areas, like deserts with a 4x4 vehicle or oceans on a sailing boat. I love music and art, I am a reiki operator, I love sailing, living in a simple way, and generally I like exploring our planet and the surrounding nature. Hope to meet you in Rome, ciao!

When me and my husband found this exclusive penthouse, we felt so lucky and fell in love immediately with the warm special atmosphere, the sensation of being on a cloud in a corner of paradise, that we didnt have a doubt not to miss this opportunity, and to get this property right away!
What makes this property unique
The terraces are amazing, the view on St. Peter's is unique, and the comfort spreading all around made us feeling right into our nest. We spent wonderful years here, and the energy of our home is made of music, art, love, sun and travels! I'm glad to share it with you.
