A Roman point of view:
Living in Rome

quartiere domus daini

 

 

Living in Rome means breathing the origins of the modern world every day, placing your feet onto its deepest roots, and stepping on the best-preserved treasures in our history.

Living in an apartment in Rome’s historic centre will allow you to be at a stone’s throw from Villa Borghese, Piazza di Spagna, Via Vittorio Veneto, Piazza del Popolo and many iconic streets and places of the Eternal city.

Villa Borghese

Villa Borghese is the largest park in Rome (6km) and the most panoramic. Inside Villa Borghese, there are monuments and historic buildings, including a Greek temple bathed by a boating lake; a racecourse for important city festivals; a medieval castle (the Fortezzuola), which hosts the Canonica Museum and the Zoo (Bioparco), one of the most important zoological gardens in Italy.

Villa Borghese is among the favorite destinations of the Romans for walks in the shade of pine trees or for evening jogging sessions. Here you can also enjoy a breathtaking view of the city centre. From the adjacent Pincio Terrace, it is possible to enjoy suggestive sunsets on the dome of San Pietro.

Piazza di Spagna

Piazza di Spagna hosted many important fashion shows, such as the haute couture of Valentino, Cavalli, Versace and the most famous designers of our times. Extending from the Trinità dei Monti church to Bernini’s Fontana della Barcaccia, the timeless charm of Piazza di Spagna makes it an essential stop during any stroll in the center.

Starting point of the well-known Via Condotti, which houses the most famous international fashion boutiques (Gucci, Valentino, Bulgari, Cartier), Piazza di Spagna has been the home of illustrious poets such as Keats and Bysshe Shelley.

Coming directly from the church of Trinità dei Monti or from Piazza del Popolo, the square can be reached comfortably on foot from Domus Daini, walking along Rome’s most evocative and panoramic streets.

Via Veneto

Via Veneto, which stretches from Piazza Barberini to Porta Pinciana, is iconic for its representation in Federico Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita”. It was designed at the end of the 19th century and has always been very popular among artists, actors and football players due to its bars, clubs, luxury hotels and the most renowned restaurants in the centre of Rome.

Strolling along Via Veneto will take you back in time to the cinematic atmospheres of the mid 900s, starting from Piazza Barberini up to Villa Borghese and, finally, home.

Piazza del Popolo

At the foot of the Pincio promenade, Piazza del Popolo is one of the most famous squares in Rome, allowing easy access to Villa Borghese via its terraced ramp designed in the 19th century. The elliptical square is decorated in the centre by fountains and sculptures and at the ends by four statues depicting the four seasons.

Baroque architecture triumphs in the two churches (Santa Maria di Montesanto and Santa Maria dei Miracoli), located at the intersection of Via del Babuino, via del Corso and via di Ripetta. In the centre, the iconic Egyptian obelisk, a convergence point for anyone arriving at the square.
