Arata, steps from Piazza Farnese and Campo dei Fiori, walking distance from the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and Spanish Steps, offers all this plus a magnificent view of Saint Peter's dome from the roofdeck. This charming apartment is on the third floor of an XVI century building on a characteristic little street, Vicolo del Giglio. An area rich in history, it was here, in Campo de Fiori where on 17 February 1600, the philosopher Giordano Bruno was burnt alive by the Roman Inquisition because his ideas (such as heliocentrism) were deemed dangerous and all of his work was placed on the Index of Forbidden Books by the Holy Office. In 1887 Ettore Ferrari dedicated a monument to him on the exact spot of his death where he stands defiantly facing the Vatican, reinterpreted in the first days of a reunited Italy as a martyr to freedom of speech. The demolition of a block of housing in 1858 enlarged Campo dei Fiori, and since 1869 there has been a vegetable and fish market there every morning. The ancient fountain "la Terrina" (the "soupbowl") that once watered cattle, resited in 1889, now keeps flowers fresh. Its inscription: FA DEL BEN E LASSA DIRE ("Do well and let them talk") suits the gossipy nature of the marketplace. At night the area sparkles and breathes with nightlife, as it's one of Rome's most popular meeting points for locals and travelers alike. Despite the animated nature of the area, with its double glazed windows and high placement, Arata is a fairly quiet find that allows you both the diversion and relaxation you deserve. This lovely bi-level apartment also has a bi-level terrace, perfect for enjoying our city's impeccable climate with local delicacies bought at the market. If a stunning view and space are for you, then Arata is your paradise.

I just wanted to thank you for arranging the apartment for us in Rome. I don't have an email for Pascale, but it was lovely to meet her, she is super charming. The apartment was just lovely. Perfect for breakfasts on the roof.
