**The space:
The View Colonna Traiana has been carefully preserved and refined to offer a space where history and comfort coexist naturally.
The apartment is spacious, filled with natural light, and remarkably quiet despite being in the very heart of Rome — a tranquil oasis overlooking one of the most iconic archaeological areas in the world.
Curated furnishings, art books, photographs, and authentic details reflect the soul of Rome and make the apartment feel like a true home rather than a rental. Every space is welcoming, elegant, and genuinely lived in — never staged.
The private balcony is one of the home’s most distinctive features: an unforgettable setting for morning coffee, sunset aperitifs, or simply watching Rome change light throughout the day.
