Because of the period they were built, buildings in the old city centre do not usually have lifts. Thus the finest storey of these “palaces”, where the owners would live, was the first floor, known in the past and still today as the “Noble floor”, often distinguishable by the outside decorations, the greater ceiling height and important interior decorations. Some buildings have had a lift installed in more recent times, often to the detriment of the original structure and character.
The apartment we offer is on the noble floor. After entering the building from the street, access to the apartment is via two short, easy-to-climb flights of stone stairs adorned with arches.
The main features of the apartment are:
- its very recent renovation using traditional, luxury materials, such as “cotto” floor paving, visible wooden beam ceilings and marble in the bathrooms;
- its fully external aspect, meaning that every room is bright, with 4 windows looking onto Via del Governo Vecchio and 1 window onto Vicolo della Cancelleria;
- luxury furnishings, with antique furniture belonging to the owners, an old and noble Roman family;
- all new upholstery, with classic, luxury fabrics, being careful to match colours in the various rooms;
- centuries-old decorations, often present on the noble floor of Rome’s buildings, in this case consisting of fragments of 17th century frescoes brought to light, restored and enhanced with the recent restructuring work;
- modern, sophisticated technical fittings appropriate for a luxury apartment;
- very efficient and rational distribution of interior spaces;
- finally, handmade wooden fittings on the inside and modern fittings on the outside for perfect heat and sound insulation.

The apartment covers a surface area of about 87 square metres, and consists of:

The entire apartment has a “cotto” tiled floor. It is endowed with modern wardrobes in the bedrooms and corridors, as well as extensive storage space above the false ceiling in the entrance hall.
The entire apartment is air conditioned for both the winter and the summer; with individual controls in every room.
The entrance hall, decorated with fine ancient panoramas, provides access to all rooms, except for the kitchen area, access to which is via the dining area of the sitting room.
