Choose a holiday apartment in Rome Spanish StepsA trip to Rome is not complete until you see its famous Spanish Steps or Piazza di Spagna. Instead of just going on tour to see this historical wonder, why not rent a Spanish Steps apartment? The Spanish Steps derive their name from the Embassy of Spain that is located at the bottom of the steps. This site is found within the most picturesque part of Rome, but also an area that is filled with history. For example, you can stay in a Rome apartment that is located close to where the famous artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini lived during the 1600s. You can discover all the treasures this area has to offer by choosing a vacation apartment in Rome Spanish Steps rather than just visiting the area.At the top of the Spanish Steps, which were originally built in 1722, is the beautiful two-dome church of Trinita dei Monti, which was erected in 1495. Further down you will find the Barcaccia fountain, which was formed to resemble a boat. It was also designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. At the bottom of the staircase is the Piazza di Francia which opens up to the home of the ambassador of Spain. Even a touch of English history is located here, with the red home of the famous poet John Keats, who spent some of his last years living here. Another reason tourists stay in the Spanish Steps area is for the various galleries, museums, shops and restaurants. The museums in the Spanish Steps area are easy to locate because of the way the area was designed. This area has the big fashion houses of Versace, Armani and Fendi. These are just a few examples; there are also numerous boutiques to browse through. By choosing your accommodation here, you will have a lot of Rome on your doorstep. After a full afternoon of tourist activities such as gallery viewings and shopping, dine and relax at one of the great Italian restaurants that the Spanish Steps area offer. Restaurants such as Dal Bolognese, Brunello Ristorante and Al Moro are all here and are great places to stop and enjoy an authentic Italian meal. |
