Extraordinary 2-Bedroom Art-Filled Residence with Courtyard and Panoramic Terrace in Trastevere

Hidden on the lower slopes of the Janiculum above Trastevere, this extraordinary two-bedroom residence offers approximately 300 m² of theatrical, art-filled accommodation for up to five guests. A secluded wisteria-covered courtyard, richly layered reception rooms, two fireplaces and a panoramic upper terrace create a private world within one of Rome’s most celebrated historic neighborhoods.

The home unfolds across several levels and feels closer to a private gallery or collector’s residence than a conventional apartment. Period floors, arched openings, sculptural objects, antique furniture and dramatic color are combined with carefully controlled lighting, giving every room a distinct mood and identity.

Art-filled reception rooms
An elegant entrance hall introduces the residence through a sequence of arches and curated artworks. The principal lounge uses deep tones, velvet textures and museum-style lighting to frame its paintings and sculptural pieces, while comfortable seating and a fireplace preserve the warmth of a lived-in home.

An adjoining dining room continues the visual drama with a substantial table and original period flooring. Beyond it, further sitting rooms and a study provide space for conversation, reading, work or quiet retreat. These connected but individual rooms make the property exceptionally suited to guests who appreciate design, art and privacy.

Private courtyard
At the heart of the lower level is an intimate internal courtyard shaded by mature wisteria. Historic masonry, climbing greenery, a fountain and outdoor dining furniture create a serene setting for breakfast, evening drinks or dinner away from the surrounding city.

The kitchen opens directly toward this courtyard, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to work together naturally. A bathroom and wardrobe area complete the principal living level.

Two distinctive bedroom suites
A marble staircase rises to the first private level. On one side, a beautifully furnished writing room leads to an atmospheric bedroom with rich textiles, classical furniture and an en-suite bathroom.

On the other side, a large reception room opens to a balcony overlooking the courtyard and continues into a wood-paneled study with fireplace. From here, a crafted timber staircase leads to the upper suite.

The top bedroom is a striking contrast to the darker rooms below. White-painted beams, pale textured walls and sculptural built-in elements create a luminous retreat beneath the roof. Its bathroom includes a glass shower and distinctive mosaic details, while direct access to the private terrace brings daylight and open air into the suite.

Panoramic terrace above Trastevere
The upper terrace provides an exclusive outdoor setting above the historic rooftops. Combined with the courtyard and first-floor balcony, it gives the residence an exceptional variety of private exterior spaces for a central Roman home.

Trastevere and the Janiculum
The property’s position connects two of Rome’s most atmospheric experiences. Below, Trastevere offers cobbled lanes, artisan shops, trattorias and the lively piazzas around Santa Maria in Trastevere. Above, the Janiculum promenade provides trees, monuments and celebrated views across the historic center.

Villa Farnesina, the Botanical Garden, Palazzo Corsini and the river are accessible through the surrounding district, while bridges across the Tiber lead toward Campo de’ Fiori, the Jewish Ghetto and the center of Rome.

Additional information
The residence accommodates up to five guests through its two bedrooms and agreed additional sleeping arrangement. Arrival and key collection are coordinated directly before the stay; self check-in is not offered. The multi-level layout includes several internal staircases and is not suitable for every mobility requirement. Artworks, terrace furnishings and other household items are subject to the confirmed rental inventory.

Live among art, history and extraordinary private outdoor spaces in a one-of-a-kind Trastevere residence where every room tells a story and the city opens beyond the terrace above.
