What’s better than a room in Rome? Your own apartment smack in central Spagna.
If you’re the sort of independent urban explorer that really wants to live like a local right in the thick of Rome’s retail, wining and dining action, well bella, have we found the pad for you.
Our fave apart-hotel Crossing Condotti has a stylish one-bedroom, two-bathroom Betty by the name of Crossing Corso. She comfortably sleeps five and is but an easy totter on your Fendis from the Spanish Steps and shopportunity joys of Via Condotti.
Located on the second floor of a historic building (worry not poppets, there’s a lift so you won’t be dragging your Globe-Trotters up any stairs), the new digs are identical in style to big sis residence on Via Mario de’ Fiori, and is decked out with a neutral palette, original coffered ceilings, hardwood floors, antique prints and furny from the owners’ family collection.
The living room has all the home comforts, while the master bedroom comes with a queen bed and ensuite stocked with L’Occitane prods. Can’t stay disconnected for more than 5 minutes? There’s an easy peasy mini work station with computer, fax and printer, plus free WiFi to boot.
Picked up a recipe in your Roman culinary adventures? Give it a whirl in the fully kitted-out kitchen and serve it up on Richard Ginori and Rosenthal porcelain… or simply ask the concierge (at Via Mario de’ Fiori) to reserve a table for you at nearby Da Nino for divine ribollita. Molto delizioso!
