The View at Colonna Traiana: a private luxury residence overlooking Ancient Rome

WHERE ROME ISN'T JUST SEEN, IT'S LIVED.
The View at Colonna Traiana is a private luxury residence in the historic center of Rome, overlooking Trajan’s Column, the Imperial Forums and Piazza Venezia. The residence accommodates up to five guests in three bedrooms and three bathrooms and features a private balcony with direct views of Ancient Rome.
Located in the heart of Rome’s historic center, The View places some of the city’s most important ancient monuments just steps from the front door. Trajan’s Column and Trajan’s Forum are approximately one minute away on foot, the Roman Forum about two minutes away, and Piazza Venezia about two minutes away. The Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Spanish Steps are all within easy walking distance.
The residence is ideal for families, couples, friends traveling together and small groups of adults who want the space, privacy and comfort of a private home rather than a hotel.
Featured by Condé Nast Traveller and AD Italia, The View combines the character of an authentic Roman residence with the comfort of a refined luxury stay.

WHY IS THE VIEW SPECIAL?
The defining features of The View are its extraordinary location, authentic Roman character and iconic views of Ancient Rome.

Once a private residence, the apartment has been carefully preserved and refined. Curated furnishings, art books, photographs and authentic details give it the feeling of a genuine Roman home rather than a staged holiday rental.
