About this property

Villa Borghese-Fantastic Location-Very Large and Quiet Apartment “Palm House 1”

Welcome to “Palm House 1” Villa Borghese. I have been awarded the badge of "Premier Partner" by the Home team.This is the highest recognition of excellence given to a property owner. It's a commitment ensuring the apartment is always in excellent condition and guest relations is always at the maxim level. Please read all 90 five star reviews.
This is the largest one bedroom/one bathroom apartment (807 sq.ft. or 75 sq.mt.) offered in the neighborhood and it is also the closest apartment to the Villa Borghese park. It offers a central location with a quiet surrounding. It is literally steps away from the Villa Borghese park and includes WiFi and A/C. Make sure you ask the owner if there are mosquito screens on every window. The garden and patio are sprayed twice a month for insects. There aren’t too many mosquitoes or any other type of bugs flying around. Baby ants will come around in April looking for food. I also offer a private separate entrance with car park (free) and garden. The patio is furnished with a sofa, arm chair with ottoman and a four seated table for outdoor dining.

The apartment is located on a calm leafy tree lined street in the Villa Borghese/Parioli area. It is situated in the most exclusive mansion filled neighborhood in all of Rome and boasts over 30 embassies within a 10 minute walking radius. Many sights can be visited on foot. The park of Villa Borghese is only a 3 minute walk from the apartment. Once inside the park you can enjoy a relaxing walk to the famous Villa Borghese Museum (5 min), the park's zoo (5 min), the Etruscan and Modern Art Museums (10 min), Piazza Del Popolo (25 min), Via Veneto with it's elegant shops and fine dining (15 min) and the top of the Spanish Steps in just 25 minutes. The tram station to the Vatican Museums, the Colosseum, as well as the bus stop to the city center sights and to the central train station are only a 5 minute walk from the apartment. Not to mention the neighborhood super market, open air fresh produce market and local restaurants which are also only a 5 minute walk away.

This large barrel vaulted ceiling apartment with it's oversized windows is very spacious and bright. It has a large bedroom with a Ralph Lauren American king size sleigh bed (rare for Europe) and lots of built in closets and drawers. The kitchen is modern and fully stocked; it has a dishwasher, washing machine, refrigerator and induction stove top. The bathroom has a shower, bidet and a lighted vanity with an oversized sink. The living room is elegantly furnished with a sofa, coffee and end table, along with two comfortable upholsterd "tub chairs". The TV is huge and contains only Net Flixx. The dinning room is spacious and can seat 6 people very comfortably.

Now, the best for last. The apartment is fully private, just open the gate with the remote control and you have entered into your own private oasis. No street noise and no people walking by the unit. The apartment comes with it's own private car park, garden and furnished patio which is all extremely rare to find here in Rome. There is no other apartment offered that has more amenities than this one. After an exhausting day of sightseeing, you will really enjoy/appreciate this quiet and calming area to wind down your day.

Sensational apartment . 10 stars!
We stayed at Palm house for 4 nights in May and found the property absolutely lovely. Everything was exactly as pictured. We selected this property because of the parking possibility, the terrace and the well equipped kitchen. The mattress is fantastic and the bedroom large. Communication with Hal was easy and enjoyable. He introduced us to the neighbour hood by a leisurely walk, pointing out restaurants, markets and transportation. He is a pleasant and very dedicated host. Too bad I can’t give more than a 5 star rating.

Perfect Stay in Rome
We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay again if and when we make it back to Rome. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, clean and well appointed. Hal was super communicative and helpful and even gave us a wonderful recommendation for nearby food that we fell in love with and went to each day! This is a more residential quiet part of Rome which we loved. It is still within walking distance of all the main attractions. The neighborhood is beautiful and it felt like spending a week living as a local. Can’t recommend enough!

About the host

Hosted by Hal McMillan

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Hal and I own this apartment. I am an American who has been living in Rome for over 20 years. I grew up in Orange County, California and went to college at USC. While I was a student, I did a semester studing in Europe and just fell in love with the beauty of Rome, it's people, it's culture and all the history this country has to offer. I caught the "travel bug" as a student and have travelled all over the world since then. I love meeting new people and learning about new cultures.

Why they chose this property

I chose this property because of it's close proximity to the antique center while not having to deal with all the antique centers' chaos. If I were describing this apartment to a New Yorker I would say that it's like living on the Upper East Side and having Central Park at your doorstep. Here in this neighborhood, instead have having "Brown Stones" we have one family mansions (now more or less embassies) and instead of "Central Park" we have the park of "Villa Borghese" with our own famous museum and zoo. Just a 25 minute walk across the park and you have reached the antique center.

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefit of this apartment is that it is fully private and quiet. I don't know of any other unit that has it's own private remote control entrance gate with car park, garden and furnished patio. I also live in the same building so you can rest assured that I will always be around for any type of assistance that you might need.
