Two double bedrooms offer each a king size bed, flatscreen TV, an en-suite bathroom, wardrobes and a safe. The larger bedroom features enchanting frescoes with warm shades and an antique Cotto floor. Its en-suite bathroom has a shower box. The smaller bedroom has a lot of charm and the en-suite bathroom features a large bathtub. Another small bedroom comes with a single bed. At the apartment you will also find a laundry room (washing/drying machine).

This wonderful historic residence was once the home of Prince Stanislaw Poniatowsky, a Polish nobleman, politician and diplomat of the eighteenth century. Upon emigrating to Italy, Poniatowsky fell in love with Rome and decided to make the city his home. Therefore he commissioned the construction of his house to a famous architect of that time named Giuseppe Valadier. A famous family of antique dealers bumped into this very charming property (a wing of the historic residence), bought it and respectfully renovated it. In particular, you can admire some of the marvellous antique frescoes that they managed to bring back to life.

Valadier historic residence is located just a few meters away from the Spanish Steps, at Via della Croce. This is a beautifully elegant area, and has some great shopping opportunities. Its restaurants and bars attract a refined and stylish crowd that gather to chat and catch up, to see and be seen. This district backs onto the lively and more laid-back Piazza Navona and Campo de’ Fiori areas. Here are many restaurants and bars that offer a friendly atmosphere. Between these two areas you will also find the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon. South of the Spagna area are many interesting sights like the Colosseum, Piazza Venezia, and the Roman Forum. Make sure to also visit the Villa Borghese Park behind the Piazza del Popolo. This beautiful park offers a shady green oasis, and sweeping views over the Prati district from its Pincio Terrace.
