Casa Manni, Rome

The luxury of a five star hotel within the privacy of a private home. Casa Manni is THE place to stay in Rome. A super chic penthouse apartment in the heart of the historical centre just moments from the Spanish Steps. Owned by Italian film director Armando Manni who is also responsible for some of the finest olive oil in Italy , Casa Manni is one of the most exciting new openings in recent years.

For the price of a junior suite (From Euro 530) at one of the big five star hotels, Casa Manni claims to “offer many features that the grand hotels haven’t even thought of”. The apartment consists of a large bedroom, living room, bathroom and terrace – refurbished by the American architect Adam D'Tihany, it oozes a level of comfort that you are unlikely to find elsewhere in the city. In the living room, antique chairs and a Persian rug contrast with the more contemporary glass table and sleek desert stone tiles. The rest of the apartment is just as fabulous, the walls in the bedroom are covered by silk wall paper and even the mosaic tiles in the vast shower are custom designed. There can be no finer experience than sipping an aperitivo on the terrace watching the sun set over the column of Marcus Aurelius and the church domes of the Eternal City.

Guests feel pampered even before they have arrived, the cellar will have been stocked with carefully selected wines according to taste, a chef can be brought in to create an unforgettable dinner and host of experts from professional shoppers, to tailors to lifestyle gurus will be at guests beck and call.

It is easy to see why some of Hollywood's leading stars choose Casa Manni, go now before the secret is out!
