The Space:

Set on the top floor of Via Luigi Gallo 16, this bright Roman hideaway is designed around light, views, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. From the moment you step inside, the apartment feels open, airy, and welcoming—an elegant retreat above the city where natural light and beautiful spaces define the experience.



The heart of the home is the stunning living room, surrounded by large glass windows that fill the space with sunlight throughout the day. It’s a room designed for living slowly and comfortably: perfect for long breakfasts while the city wakes up, remote work with inspiring views, or relaxed evenings watching a movie after a day exploring Rome. The generous layout and warm, inviting atmosphere make it the ideal place to gather, unwind, and enjoy the calm above the rooftops.



Every room in the apartment is bright and beautifully lit, creating a sense of space and tranquility that is rare in the city. The apartment comfortably sleeps up to four guests and features a spacious, fully equipped kitchen where you can cook, share meals, and enjoy the feeling of being at home in Rome.



The true showstopper, however, is the spectacular terrace. Large, private, and filled with plants, it offers a beautiful outdoor living space where you can fully experience the Roman lifestyle. A generous dining table invites you to enjoy long meals al fresco, whether it’s a sunny breakfast, a relaxed lunch, or dinner under the evening sky. A cozy lounge corner is perfect for aperitivo at sunset, while comfortable sun loungers let you stretch out and soak up the warm Roman sun.



From the terrace, the view opens across the rooftops of the city, stretching all the way to the iconic dome of St. Peter’s and the skyline beyond. It’s the kind of panorama that makes every moment feel special—from morning coffee to golden hour drinks.



Two elegant bathrooms—one with a walk-in shower and the other with a bathtub—complete the apartment, offering comfort and convenience for your stay. The building is equipped with an elevator, making access to this peaceful top-floor retreat easy and effortless.



A light-filled home above Rome, where beautiful interiors and an unforgettable terrace come together to create a truly special stay.



The Neighborhood:

The neighbourhood around Via Luigi Gallo sits in the Balduina/Belsito area—one of Rome’s most pleasant residential hillsides, loved for its greenery, calm streets and sweeping viewpoints. It feels authentically local, with everyday favourites close by: coffee bars for a quick espresso, bakeries, small markets and trattorias where Romans actually eat.



When you want nature, you’re close to scenic walks and lookout spots on Monte Mario and nearby green areas—ideal for a morning stroll before diving into the city. And when it’s time for Rome’s icons, you’re perfectly placed between “quiet retreat” and “easy access”: the Vatican side of town is nearby, while the centre is only a short ride away.



Back at home, the terrace becomes your private viewpoint—sun, plants, and a skyline that turns golden at sunset.



Getting Around:

Getting around is simple from Balduina/Belsito: you’re on a quiet hill with quick connections down to the city. Several bus lines nearby link you to the Vatican area and the historic centre, and taxis/ride-hailing are easy to call at any time.



For sightseeing, you can reach St Peter’s and the Vatican Museums in a short ride, and continue on to Piazza Navona, the Pantheon and Trastevere just as easily. If you’re heading to events or tennis matches, the Stadio Olimpico and Foro Italico are also a convenient ride away.



Arriving by car? The neighbourhood is residential and generally straightforward for drop-off and unloading, and the building’s elevator makes luggage effortless once you’re inside.
