Elegant Riverside Apartment with Tiber Views in Historic Rome

Second floor in Lungotevere Testaccio In an elegant 1930s period building overlooking Lungotevere Testaccio, this refined one-bedroom residence embodies the timeless charm and understated elegance of historic Rome. Recently renovated through a bespoke architectural project, the apartment harmoniously blends contemporary design, exquisite materials, and a deep respect for the building’s original character. Located on the second floor with elevator, the residence enjoys evocative views over the Tiber River. Large windows and a graceful French balcony invite abundant natural light into the interiors, framing picturesque glimpses of Rome’s historic riverside landscape. The location is exceptionally privileged. Just a short walk from the majestic St. Peter’s Basilica and moments from the vibrant district of Trastevere, the property sits at the crossroads of Rome’s most authentic atmosphere and its most celebrated landmarks. The residence is also steeped in cinematic history. It was once the Roman home of the legendary filmmaker Vittorio De Sica, one of the masters of Italian neorealism. Longtime residents of the building still recall his presence there, occasionally accompanied by the iconic actress Sophia Loren, lending the apartment a rare and evocative cultural legacy. Inside, the spaces have been meticulously curated with bespoke solutions designed to balance elegance and functionality. Selected marbles define the kitchen and bathroom surfaces and flooring, while refined concealed sliding doors and custom-crafted furnishings—including wardrobes, integrated storage, and a bespoke dining table—enhance the harmony of the interiors. Walls are adorned with fine Californian wood paneling, and the residence is fully equipped with air conditioning throughout. The thoughtfully conceived layout gracefully separates the living area from the private sleeping quarters, comfortably accommodating up to four guests within an atmosphere of quiet sophistication. A rare and distinguished residence, ready to be enjoyed, ideal as an elegant pied-à-terre in the Eternal City or as a prestigious investment property in the heart of Rome, further enhanced by the complete renovation of the building completed in 2025. *The information provided and the floor plans are purely indicative and do not constitute contractual elements.
