Vicolo delle Orsoline, Rome, Italy

Iconic and exclusive property with panoramic terraces, near Piazza di Spagna

In one of Rome’s most exclusive locations, just moments from the Spanish Steps, Trinità dei Monti and Villa Medici, this prestigious residence within an elegant 1930s building captures the most authentic spirit of the Eternal City. Surrounded by historic palaces, hidden gardens and iconic views, the property offers a perfect balance of classical charm, refined interiors and a breathtaking outlook over Rome’s skyline.

The residence opens with an impressive entrance hall from which the private lift serves all levels. The property benefits from three independent entrances and features high quality marble and parquet flooring, integrated air conditioning and interiors maintained in excellent condition.

The true highlight lies at the top of the property, where a large panoramic terrace becomes a privileged stage overlooking the entire city. The domes appear almost within reach, the gardens of Villa Medici rise like a suspended oasis and the historic rooftops stretch out to the horizon. In the quietest hours, the music from the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia drifts upwards, transforming this space into something almost unreal, a place where Rome is not only seen but also heard.

Descending via an elegant staircase, one reaches a second, more intimate terrace, ideal for outdoor breakfasts or enjoying the warm evening light. From here, the formal reception rooms unfold: a dramatic double living room framed by full height windows on all sides and enriched by a distinctive porthole window. On the same level are a bright and elegant dining room, a service kitchen connected by a dumbwaiter to the main kitchen below and a guest bathroom.

From the living room, a sculptural helical staircase leads to the lower floor, becoming an architectural centrepiece that links the levels with graceful continuity.

The lower floor is dedicated to the private quarters. The principal suite is arranged across several rooms, with walk in wardrobes and a bathroom reminiscent of the great Roman residences. A second double bedroom with private bathroom, a study with bathroom and a charming small terrace overlooking the historic rooftops complete the level, together with the main kitchen and additional service areas.

Another floor is reserved for guests and staff, offering a laundry room, wardrobe space, a bedroom with service bathroom, a kitchenette and an additional bedroom with private bathroom, ensuring independence and functionality without affecting the main living areas.

The property is completed by a private garage and an independent loft on the ground floor, featuring a spacious living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. At the same level, a separate entrance leads to a formal hall from which the private lift rises through the entire residence.
