Your property in Rome
Lavish apartments with balconies or terraces in stunning palazzos that peer over the awe-inspiring cityscape are among the most desired property in Rome.
In the bustling and historic Centro Storico, a Unesco World Heritage site, the centuries old backstreets are a captivating neighbourhood, complete with trattorias, boutiques and ruins, while the leafier residential districts such as Pinciano, Nomentano and Trieste, provide a more laid-back feel within a short distance of the city’s vibrant, beating heart.
Outside the city, villas and farmhouses offer spacious accommodation in rural towns and villages set in the captivating countryside.
Inside Rome
The globally renowned Italian capital of Rome is famed for its history, its fashion, its food, its architecture and so much more.
The city is one of Europe’s most inspiring, with centuries old monuments such as the Colosseum, Renaissance-era monuments, like St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City, and modern, cutting-edge buildings such as the Zaha Hadid-designed Maxxi art museum, all on offer within a short distance.
Romans also know how to relax, with espresso culture and long lunches expected in stunning piazzas or in one of the city’s many green spaces, such as the 150-acre Villa Borghese and Villa Pamphili, Rome’s largest public park. But the city knows how to celebrate too, with plenty of festivals dedicated to its history, its food and its music.
Lifestyle
Rome is a city of extremes: It’s both fast-paced, yet relaxed; it’s historic, yet modern; and it’s urban, yet green.
While the city’s international reputation is predominantly for its unrivalled number of historical monuments charting centuries of its past, Rome is a business and modern cultural hub, with a particular recent acceleration in its start-up economy.
Just like anywhere in Italy, family is extremely important and nothing gets in the way of time with friends and loved ones. Guests linger in relaxed cafés and restaurants for hours, while Italy remains one of the few countries globally where business activity truly dials down in the summer as the nation goes on holiday.
Rome is a lively city, full of museums, galleries and music venues with some of the world’s most famous pieces of art, sculpture and architecture. But it is also ranked as Europe’s third greenest city thanks to its plentiful parks and nature areas, trailing only Paris and Amsterdam.
And Rome is a true culinary capital, doing both the simple and the complex to perfection, taking care and passion for the fresh, local ingredients used to concoct its dishes. Whether it’s pizza, pastas such as cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper) or carbonara, slow-roasted meats such as porchetta pork, or desserts such as gelato or tiramisu, both independent and high-end restaurants (Rome has the second-most Michelin-starred restaurants in Italy at 23) deliver excellent quality food.
Accessibility
Rome has exceptional international connectivity with the Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport to the west of the city and Rome-Ciampino Airport to the east both serving domestic and worldwide destinations.
Italy’s high-speed rail network makes it possible to traverse the country easily from Rome, with direct links to cities such as Milan and Naples.
In terms of roads, Rome’s most central roads link to the Gran Raccordo Anulare, the city’s ring road, which in turn leads to various highways, including the A1, which links Milan in the north to Naples in the south.
