Armando was waiting for us when we arrived, as arranged, and was most helpful. The apartment is at the back of the building and was incredibly quiet even though it is in a busy area. Everything you could possibly need was provided in the apartment. We will be recommending this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Madrid."

Aqua Apartment Rome

Publicado por Laura Mangoni en Apartments

POWER OF WATER ELEMENT

water_element

Water is of major importance to all living things.

Up to 60% of our body is water, and the brain is composed of 70%. The water we are composed on suffered for the external influences, and likewise we are extremely susceptible to the power that water can exert on us from outside.

The sight or sound of water usually have a calming effect.
Likewise, the water colors are used with relaxing purpose: the shades of blue  bring peace and harmony to environments.

aqua-apartment-roma

Aqua apartment in Rome (Aqua is translated as Water) takes its name from the decoration in blue, simple and bright, that reminds a waterfall and repeats as a mantra on the walls. It produce a special relaxing effect. The blue-white rhythm of the apartment creates an amazing, quite athmosphere.

aqua-apartment-wash-roma

The apartment, 2 bedrooms and 70 m2, is located in a wonderful traditional “Umbertine” building of the late 19th century. The building is in a quiet street in downtown Rome, has a lovely location, facing the park of an antique villa.

This beautiful and elegant area of Rome is pumping daily with people, designer stores and upmarket bars and restaurants. Don't miss the most famous steps ever, The Scalinata di Piazza di Spagna, with the church of Trinita dei Monti with its twin towers that dominate the skyline. The Scalinata is the longest and widest staircase in Europe (138 steps). On the square we find the Barcaccia Fountain, built to commemorate the disastrous flood caused by Tevere river the very same year.

The area around Piazza di Spagna is where to find the most prestigious boutiques such as Prada, Valentino, Gucci etc. It is an ideal starting point for your shopping in Rome.

Some distances from the apartment:

- Metro: Castro Pretorio – 450 metres
- Termini station – 500 metres
- Piazza dell'Indipendenza – 500 metres
- Porta Pia – 600 metres
- Vatican City – 1.3 km
- Piazza di Spagna – 2.2km
- Colesseum – 2.3km
- Trevi Fountain – 2.19km
