apartment for rent in rome

Munch is a magic, enchanting place. Like living on a boat in the heart of the city, far from any noise, despite being less than one hundred meters from bustling Campo dei Fiori, where every morning (except Sunday) Rome's most colorful, delicious, fresh market is held. A charming apartment for experts, and lovers of skilled craftsmanship, Munch is entirely wooden, made by the sure touch of a local craftsman, Sir Fausto, who lived and worked in the area at the beginning of the twentieth century. Especially cozy due to recent remodelling, this is a lovely little nest, enriched by many unique aspects. Starting with its ancient vaulted ceiling and moving then to the original sixteenth century peperino-marble capitals (peperino is volcanic tuff which is grey with black little grains like peppergrains, found in the Albani hills near Rome) and peperino-marble porthole-windows, which belonged to the fifteenth century convent that used to inhabit the building, this apartment is as much a journey through history as Campo De Fiori itself. The apartment consists of an air conditioned room, endowed with an elegant cooking alcove, where guests will find everything necessary for cooking as well as a variety of breakfast beverages. Accomodating up to four people, the two sleeping areas furnished with refined upholstery and fitted with comfortable double beds are positioned on two typical wooden lofts facing one another, reached by two staircase-wardrobes that are in harmony with the open space. The apartment is situated on the ground floor facing a characteristic building courtyard where you can see a nice little fountain. Completing the loft is a modern dining-table and a comfortable sofa which coverts into another double bed. The bathroom, like the whole floor of the house, is exposed brick. It contains a shower and is well stocked with towels, soap, and shampoo. The location of the apartment is exceptional as you are extremely close to all the classic sights of Rome. Castle Sant'Angelo, Saint Peter's, Piazza Navona, Campo de Fiori, and the Pantheon are all no more than an easy three minute walk. Vicolo del Bollo goes from Via del Pellegrino (the ancient road travelled by Saint Peter's bound pilgrims) to via dei Cappellari (where even today the last real carpenters go on doing woodwork). The toponym of the lane comes from the Ufficio del Bollo, established in 1608 by a notification which ordered the jewellers to work just pure gold and silver and masters of the mint to check and brand (or seal) the works. The jewellers lived in Via Del Pellegrino. After finishing their works they used to go al Bollo right to seal their works. At the beginning of the lane there is a sacred image which is protected by a glass. The perfect starting point to best enjoy the best of the eternal city!
