Characteristic apartment with terrace in the historic Borgo Pio
On Vicolo del Farinone, in the historic Borgo Pio, on the third floor of a 16th-century building without a lift, Engel & Völkers offers for sale a delightful penthouse enjoying the privilege of a terrace with a unique view of St. Peter’s Dome and the Apostolic Palace.
The apartment, just a short walk from Porta Castello and Ponte Sant’Angelo, which leads to the historic center, comprises a large living area with fireplace and splendid coffered ceilings, an eat-in kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom. From the living room, a wooden staircase leads to the upper floor, where there is a storage room, a bathroom and access to the terrace, the main distinguishing feature that makes this property unique—ideal for an aperitif or dinner while enjoying an unforgettable view of one of the most important monuments in the world.
Completing the picture is Borgo Pio itself, the historic street connecting Porta Castello to Porta Angelica, commissioned by Pope Pius IV and designed in 1565 to be pleasant, healthy and exclusive. A street that still preserves its unique character, made of history, elegance and neighborhood life: an ideal setting for a property that combines identity and modernity in a surprising way. Borgo Pio is a small world of its own in the heart of Rome, born between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance as an autonomous borough, with its church, its school and a deeply artisan soul. Today, just steps from the Vatican, it continues to live suspended between history and everyday life: pilgrims, tourists and students pass through it every day, yet the charm of its workshops, historic venues and new businesses meeting contemporary needs remains intact. *This information and the floor plans are purely indicative and do not constitute contractual elements.
