Condotti
Palace Rome
Location |
Those who stay
at the luxury
aparthotel
Condotti Palace
choose to
experience the
city of Rome in
the heart of its
most elegant and
suggestive
atmosphere.
Located at
number 15 on Via
della Croce, one
of the most
picturesque
addresses in the
area surrounding
the Spanish
Steps, Popolo
Square, Via del
Corso and Via
Condotti, the
Condotti Palace
is the ideal
place for
exploring the
center of Rome
on foot.
The numerous
fashion
boutiques, shops
displaying the
latest trends in
Italian made
design, typical
trattorias,
refined
restaurants and
popular night
clubs lend flair
and a touch of
authentic Roman
atmosphere to
this part of the
city. At only a
few steps away
from the
Condotti Palace
you can also
find the heart
of the luxury
shopping
district, Via
Condotti and Via
Borgognona, as
well as the
antique
galleries on Via
del Babuino and
Via Margutta.
The surrounding
area is
suggestive and
enchanting,
starting with
the Spanish
Steps, which are
only a minute
from the
aparthotel, a
majestic
staircase
leading up to
the Trinità dei
Monti church,
poised atop the
Pincio on one
side and the
Barcaccia
Fountain on the
other, a
masterpiece
created by
Bernini, the
greatest
architect and
sculptor of the
Roman baroque
period. In less
than fifteen
minutes on foot
you can reach
the magnificent
Trevi Fountain,
the set of one
of the most
celebrated
scenes from
Fellini’s film,
La Dolce Vita,
and the
Pantheon, the
imposing Roman
temple which
today serves as
a Catholic
church,
constructed in
25 A.C. with an
impressive dome
measuring 43
meters in
diameter.
Another few
steps takes you
to the heart of
baroque Rome:
Navona Square,
with its
elongated shape
that legend
recounts as
being used for
the naumachia
(staged naval
battles), to the
center of the
oval where there
is yet another
masterpiece by
Bernini, the
Fountain of the
Four Rivers,
which faces the
Sant'Agnese
church designed
by the other
great architect
of baroque Rome
and Bernini’s
rival,
Borromini.
Reaching the
other splendid
sites of
imperial Rome,
such as the
Imperial Forums,
the Vittoriano
Museum Complex
(which hosts
world renowned
art exhibitions)
and the
Coliseum, and
those of
Catholic Rome,
from the Vatican
to St. Peter’s
Square is easy
on the subway
and bus that
both stop 100
meters from the
Condotti Palace. |
