Located in one of the most enchanting districts of Rome, the Navona area allows you to experience the city’s authentic atmosphere, where ancient traditions meet contemporary Roman life. Stroll past antique shops and artisan boutiques, and soak in the charm of an era when Piazza dell’Orologio—with its iconic tower designed by Borromini—was still known as Piazza dei Rigattieri.
Just steps away, the majestic Castel Sant’Angelo awaits. This historic fortress, once a refuge for the popes during times of war, now offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views of Rome—best enjoyed with a glass of prosecco at its scenic rooftop bar.
Navona and Its Timeless Beauty
A short 600-meter walk from the apartment brings you to Piazza Navona, one of Rome’s most iconic squares. Originally built as the Stadium of Domitian, this space transformed over the centuries into a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, adorned with fountains, sculptures, and vibrant city life.
Among the square’s most famous landmarks is Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers, a triumph of artistry and symbolism, positioned directly in front of Borromini’s Church of Sant’Agnese in Agone—a reflection of the artistic rivalry that shaped Rome’s history.
Beyond the grandeur of its monuments, Piazza Navona embodies the spirit of Rome, where locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy street performances, sip coffee at historic cafés, and take in the unmatched beauty of the Eternal City.
Rome is more than a destination—it is a journey through time, a city meant to be explored at a leisurely pace, map in hand, discovering hidden gems along the way.
