Residenza Donna Olimpia

Full Description

This unique luxury apartment for rent in Rome is situated at the heart of Piazza Navona, attached to the façade of the 17th-century Church of Sant’Agnese in Agone. Originally designed as one of the private apartments for Pope Innocent X, who served from 1644–1655, the owners have carefully preserved the original historic charm and features. The apartment spans an impressive 350m², with 26-foot-high ceilings adorned with magnificent frescoes by Allegrini, Baroque-style walls, and marble decorations surrounding the doors, complemented by black Etruscan terracotta floors.

Located on the first floor of a historic palace, the apartment is accessible via a lift or a spiral staircase leading into an entrance hall. On one side, there is a library, while on the other side, a music room with a grand piano. From the library, guests can access the living room, dining area, and an open-plan kitchen. The apartment features two en-suite bedrooms. The master bedroom, known as the Pope’s Room, opens to a small columned balcony with breath-taking views over Piazza Navona. The spectacular master bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a round Jacuzzi whirlpool carved from a circular turret, lined with over 300,000 small tiles and a gold base reminiscent of a traditional Roman bath. On the opposite side of the entrance, the music room leads to a studio and the Via dell’Anima Bedroom, which boasts its own luxurious bathroom.
