La Residenza Napoleone

Central Rome, Italy

Location
The Palazzo is at the heart of Rome's classiest district, at the other end of the via dei Condotti from the Piazza di Spagna, on Largo Goldoni. You're within easy walking distance of the Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Trevi fountains and the Tiber.

By Air:
Rome is served by two airports: Leonardo da Vinci/Fiumicino (26km), where most international flights arrive, and Ciampino/G.B.Pastine (20km), for mainly domestic flights.

From the Airport
The Residenza can arrange collection in a chauffeur-driven car for not much more than a taxi - see Rates. An alternative is to take the Leonardo Express train from Fiumicino to Stazione Termini (every half hour). From Termini the residenza is a 10- to 20-minute taxi ride.

By Car:
Taking a car into Rome is no joke, but if you are driving anyway, take the Via Cassia exit from the Grande Raccordo Anulare into the north of the city; and then follow a good city map. There are paying carparks nearby (enquire when booking). If you do want to hire a car we recommend Holiday Autos which offers competitive prices and discounts for internet bookings.

Detailed directions will be sent to you once your booking is confirmed.

Save to favouritesPrintMailLa Residenza NapoleoneIf you can drag your eyes away from the mouthwatering boutique fronts of Rome's Via Condotti for a moment, you'll see behind you some large and private wooden gates. They may not gleam and glitter like the window displays, but what lies behind them is dazzling. These doors are a portal into a former, more splendid age. Doric colonnades lined with statues lead up to a wing of the 16th-century Palazzo Ruspoli. Above the all-marble staircase, imperial busts gaze onto fabulous antiques, and rare Gobelin tapestries rub shoulders with 500-year-old oil paintings (one of which artfully conceals a cinema screen). This is where Emperor Napoleon III and his mother, the former Queen of Holland, lived. Now it's home to the welcoming and unpretentious Princess Letizia Ruspoli, who has made two [r:IT041:apartments] available to the select few. If you have always wanted to stay somewhere fit for a king - or an emperor - this is your chance.
