La dolce vita is around the corner

Toscana 1 is a recently renovated apartment in a building by the famed Via Veneto, of the Dolce Vita fame, in the Ludovisi district, close Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. This flat on the ground floor dates back to 1907. Guest can access to the gorgeous Common Roof Terrace of the building shared with neighbors. (please read below opening hours and rules)

Via Toscana is part of a grid of streets lying across the road (Via Boncompagni) from the American Embassy in Rome, with buildings designed and completed in the first few years of the 20th century.

This flat on the ground floor dates back to 1907, and still features its original cementine (concrete, hexagon-shaped tiles, very sought after when original) in part of the rooms - a testament to the care with which the blocks were built.

With a double bed in the master bedroom and an additional double bed in the mezzanine, Toscana 1 can accommodate up to 4 people. With its sleek, contemporary looks, this accommodation will appeal to younger travelers keen to find modern amenities wherever they go.

The kitchen is complete with all the essentials for preparing your meals from scratch, and it includes a dishwasher, an oven, an induction stove, a fridge, a Nespresso machine, a toaster oven, and a microwave oven. The apartment also comes with a washing machine (no drying capabilities), and the bathroom comes with a large shower.

This property comes with independent heating, using an A/C system for both heating in winter and cold air in the summer. Hosts will be able to connect to their preferred streaming service (if available on the Italian territory) through the smart-TV. A free Wifi connection is offered to all guests.

The really unique features of this apartment, considering its location, are its external space: the common terrace share with the neighbors of the building, complete with tables, chairs and more, on top of the building. You’re free to use it during your stay between 8AM to 5PM on workdays and on Saturdays/Sundays from 8AM to 10 pm.

We’d like to point out how From Home to Rome is not in any way responsible for the access to the terrace, which could be closed on occasion depending on the arrangements of the building manager.

Roof terraces were historically thought of as social spaces, and this building has brought back a long-standing tradition of using them as places for meeting other residents. While they were usually accessed to hang one laundry’s or to have cookouts, now they’re mostly an extension of one’s apartment, and in this particular case this becomes an extra living room, just… in the open! This explains why certain rules have to be observed: opening times, for instance, refraining from making excessive noise, and respecting quiet hours and the building’s residents.

By placing an advance request, the terrace can also be reserved in the evening at a special rate, but keep in mind that the schedule could be already full, as this outdoor space can be rented out for private events. Drop us a line if interested, we’ll be happy to get back to you as soon as possible!
