Navona Penthouse

Eighty metres from Piazza Navona, on the fourth floor of a historic building with a lift, this penthouse spreads over two levels and opens onto three outdoor spaces: a large furnished terrace, a smaller one and two balconies. It is bright, quiet, and closer to the square than most people believe possible.

The living room is the social heart — dining table, stools, smart TV and a sofa bed — and leads straight onto the main terrace, furnished with armchairs, a dining table and a daybed. The first bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom with a bathtub; an internal staircase leads up to the second bedroom, the shower room and a second balcony. There is also a guest toilet, which matters more than it sounds when six people share a flat.

Air conditioning and a smart TV in every room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a rating that has never dropped below five stars across 135 stays.
