Characterful 1-Bedroom Duplex with Original Beams in Historic Monti

Set on Via degli Ibernesi between Via Baccina and Piazza del Grillo, this characterful one-bedroom duplex offers 66 m² of renovated accommodation for up to three guests in the heart of Rione Monti. Original timber ceilings, a sculptural internal staircase and an exceptionally central position give the home an authentic Roman personality.

Arranged across two levels within an elegant period building, the apartment creates a natural separation between shared living below and the private bedroom above. Carefully chosen neutral finishes allow the old structure to remain visible, while air conditioning and central heating provide contemporary comfort throughout the year.

Ground-floor living space
The entrance level opens into a welcoming lounge and dining room. A comfortable sofa, wall-mounted television and round dining table create a practical setting for relaxing, eating or working between visits to the city’s historic sites.

Warm tiled flooring runs through the space and complements the stone staircase. The room’s simple layout leaves good circulation between the entrance, kitchen, bathroom and upper level, making the apartment easy to use for both short breaks and longer visits.

Separate kitchenette
The dedicated kitchenette is positioned beside an arched window and fitted with modern cabinetry, cooking appliances, a refrigerator and useful preparation space. Keeping the kitchen separate from the main lounge helps the living room remain calm and uncluttered.

A full bathroom with window, glass-enclosed shower, bidet and heated towel rail completes the lower floor.

Atmospheric upper bedroom
Travertine-lined stairs lead to a spacious upper bedroom beneath beautifully preserved timber beams and traditional terracotta roof tiles. The room accommodates a large double bed, storage furniture and a television while retaining enough open floor area to feel comfortable rather than enclosed.

The contrast between white walls, dark historic wood and warm tiled flooring gives the bedroom a memorable sense of place. It is a peaceful private level removed from the apartment entrance and social space below.

Historic Monti location
Via degli Ibernesi is one of Monti’s quieter, more intimate streets, only moments from the medieval Torre del Grillo and the archaeological landscape of the Imperial Fora. The Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trajan’s Market, Piazza Venezia and numerous churches, galleries and monuments are accessible on foot.

Monti itself is known for artisan workshops, independent boutiques, traditional trattorias, wine bars and the evening atmosphere around Piazza della Madonna dei Monti. Cavour station on Metro line B and nearby bus routes provide convenient connections to Termini and other districts.

Additional information
The apartment accommodates up to three guests through the bedroom and agreed additional sleeping arrangement. Self check-in is available, and Wi-Fi, towels and bed linen are included. Internal stairs connect the two levels and should be considered by guests with reduced mobility.

Experience central Rome from a distinctive Monti duplex where original beams, thoughtful modern updates and a quiet historic street place guests within walking distance of some of the city’s most extraordinary landmarks.
