In the heart of San Saba, across from the residential Via di Villa Pepoli, on the splendid Viale Giotto, on the ground floor of a prestigious building, we offer for rent a fully furnished, elegant 100 sq m property. The apartment comprises a spacious entrance hall, an elegant living room, a conservatory-style kitchen (complete with refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and washing machine), a hallway with a custom-built bookcase, a large double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, a second bedroom used as a study with a sofa bed, a spacious bathroom with a window, a guest bathroom, numerous built-in wardrobes used as storage space, and a mezzanine. Located just steps from the renowned Baths of Caracalla, this charming home is in the heart of the historic and charming San Saba neighborhood. Despite being centrally located and close to all amenities, it remains an oasis of peace and quiet amidst the chaos of the Roman metropolis. San Saba, popularly known as the little Aventine, is the twenty-first district of Rome. Of recent establishment (although of ancient urbanization), it is located on the edge of the large green and archaeological lung of the Baths of Caracalla - Circus Maximus - Palatine complex. The San Saba district takes its name from the monastery and its church which were its only inhabited presence for centuries after the fall of the empire. Around the 7th century, some hermits settled on the ruins of what had been the barracks (statio) of the IV cohort of the vigiles, conveniently located in a place from which one could dominate a large part of the south-eastern territory of the city, between the current Porta San Paolo - which for the Romans was Porta Ostiensis - and Porta San Sebastiano - which for the Romans was the Porta Appia. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, the church and monastery of San Saba were still in the countryside. Rome's first master plan (dated 1909) created, among other things, the new working-class districts of San Saba and Testaccio in 1921, the last two districts within the walls, separated from the territory of Ripa. After the unification of Italy, the master plan for Rome designated the area adjacent to the Archaeological Walk as a public park. Between 1907 and 1914, the Popular Bloc governing the city at the time (Radicals, Republicans, and Socialists, with Mayor Ernesto Nathan) commissioned the Istituto Case Popolari to build 10 residential lots on the Piccolo Aventino, between the church and the city walls. These lots were intended for lower-middle-class office workers, among the last residential developments planned within the Aurelian Walls. The district was designed, like the public housing of Testaccio, by the then young Quadrio Pirani, and in honor of the planning intention the streets were named after great architects: Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini, Baccio Pontelli and Palladio, Pirro Ligorio and Bramante and so on, architects giving their names to quiet, appropriately wide, tree-lined streets. Situated on a hilltop esplanade, the neighborhood is crisscrossed by steep climbs and stairways that descend toward the walls or the Testaccio district below. The "public housing" consists of semi-detached villas, each with its own small garden, and small buildings no higher than four stories, with bright apartments and spacious courtyards, each clad in brickwork the same color as the ancient church and walls. In addition to the tree-lined avenues, there are green areas equipped for children just a few steps away. A short walk takes you to the COLOSSEUM, one of the most visited monuments in the world, the Circus Maximus, where Rome was founded in ancient times, and the aforementioned Baths of Caracalla, a testament to Ancient Roman engineering. A ten-minute walk takes you to the popular, bourgeois atmosphere of Testaccio, with its historic, renovated and modern market, museums, the Vittoria Theatre, shops, restaurants, and youthful entertainment venues. Even closer, within walking distance, is the characteristic Trastevere neighborhood, rich in historical beauty, with its little squares with artistic fountains, and its quaint alleys full of shops, ice cream parlors, and restaurants. It is rented fully furnished with high-quality, tasteful furnishings. A 3+2 contract with a flat-rate tax is in placeabsolutely not for hospitality purposes. Available immediately, the monthly fee required is 1,500 euros. The images and information in this ad are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a contractual obligation.
