"Leonardo" is a large, well appointed apartment is situated in the very heart of Rome, at the second floor of a vintage "palazzo". There is no elevator but the stairs are very easy to climb.
The apartment is 140 sq. Mts. large (app. 1,420 sq. Ft.). Moreover there is a 50 sq. Mts. terrace (app. 520 sq. Ft.).
The apartment is normally bright, and extremely quiet (a find in Rome). Via della Croce on the contrary is lively, although only pedestrians are allowed. It includes characteristic restaurants, trendy cafes, fashionable boutiques and cosy grocery stores.
The Spanish Steps are a few blocks away. All the other smart streets around the Steps can be found here: Via del Babuino with its antiquaries, Via Margutta with its art studios, Via Condotti with its ateliers (Valentino, Versace, Armani, Ferragamo, Fendi etc.) and jewelers (Bulgari and Armani). There are also international book shops, a renowned academy of music (Santa Cecilia), and the famous Caffè Greco.
For a more detailed presentation with many photos of this must-see quarter and street, please visit the pages presenting the Spanish Steps quarter, where you will find a page dedicated to Via della Croce.
In the photo to the right you can see the street. The Leonardo apt. is situated in the first palazzo to the right. The photo was snapped in early January. You can see in the background Piazza di Spagna, and behind it the Borghese gardens.

The sitting-dining room is spacious and elegant. Like all the rooms, it has high-vault wooden beams ceilings.
It includes a fireplace, and a copy of large 17th century map of Rome. It was made by a geographer of that era, and it so accurate that it is used to understand the exact layout of the town and of its buildings even today!

The sitting room also includes a nice walnut table, which can be made larger for six persons. There are six chairs upholstered with velvet (only four are shown in these photos), following Louis 16th style. and an armchair.
Two poufs made of gilded wood, two little walnut tables covered by marble slabs, and fine paintings complete the furniture.

The patio, seen from its entry door from the sitting room |
The patio is appr. 50 sq. Mts. (app. 520 sq. Ft.) large, and it has a pergola (bower) with plants, to protect from sun light as you sit. It includes a table with chairs to dine "al fresco", and many vases with climber plants. It is extremely quiet. It is notable that it has also another entrance, from the corridor of the second and third bedrooms.
The terrace can thus be accessed separately from all the bedrooms and from the kitchen, so it can be used by the each member of larger groups without disturbing the other party persons. |
