Full Roman immersion begins before you even step through the door at three-bedroom Casa Augusta, minutes away from Piazza del Popolo. The antique lift in the building does a grand job of whisking your mind to a more romantic space.

Things only get more theatrical when you enter: parquet and marble flooring lead you to a double-height, double-length living space. French doors then usher you to an ample dining space with tasteful colour-wash walls and a light-touch Asian theme.

Looking out of the window at Casa Augusta is an equally pleasurable experience: the buildings opposite all flaunt elegant classicist carvings and paintwork. The kind you come to visit Rome for in the first place.

But, above all other Burghesius homes, Casa Augusta has a warm family feel that will suit groups looking to create a similar sort of atmosphere. It’s a great shout for groups of friends, too, as there’s a bathroom for each of its three bedrooms.
