Located in a historic nineteenth-century building, this loft home offers large windows and petite balconies with direct views of the Foro Italico and its waterfront. Throw open the doors to the balcony each morning to let in a fresh breeze as you enjoy breakfast around the living area's table, and don’t forget to take a moment to admire the incredible sea views before you head out for the day. Wander around the ancient main port of the city and watch the boats bobbing on the water. On your way home from here, we would also recommend a stop at Palazzo Abatellis, Palazzo Chiaromonte Steri and Palazzo Mirto, all less than five minutes away on foot. Plus, the nearby botanical gardens – a ten-minute walk – are the perfect spot for tranquil strolls among the beautiful plants. Treat yourself to unique experiences including wine tastings to enjoy one of Italy’s best-known exports. Explore the area on a walking tour, or even hire a bicycle to roam the surroundings on your own. Why not end your days here on a perfect note with a glass of wine in hand as you stand on the balcony and watch the sunset over this amazing panorama.
