Farnesina

There are neighbourhoods that thrive on activity.
The Farnesina, on the other hand, thrives above all on balance.

It is a part of northern Rome that manages to remain close to the city without being completely swept up in its pace. The River Tiber runs alongside the neighbourhood, greenery spills onto the streets and, a little further on, Ponte Milvio quickly brings you back to the more dynamic life of the capital.

Here, Rome seems to allow itself more space.

A slower pace of life

The Farnesina exudes an understated elegance.

It does not seek the grandeur of the historic centre, nor the cosmopolitan atmosphere of other parts of the city. Its charm stems, rather, from the feeling that one can experience Rome at a more leisurely pace.

The residential streets, the trees, the complexes surrounded by greenery and the terraces all help to create an intimate atmosphere, which is particularly pleasant on spring days and during Rome’s long evenings.

It’s the sort of neighbourhood where coming home becomes part of the day, not simply its conclusion.

Between Ponte Milvio and the green spaces of North Rome

One of the most delightful things about the Farnesina is its location.

On the one hand, there is Milvian Bridge, with its bars, restaurants and one of the most distinctive atmospheres in northern Rome. On the other hand, it takes just a few minutes to find quieter streets, green spaces and decidedly more residential neighbourhoods.

It is this proximity that gives you a choice.

Go out and enjoy the city whenever you feel like it.
Or go back inside and rediscover a more private space.

Homes designed to be lived in

Homes, too, reflect this identity.

Many buildings in the area prioritise natural light, open views, balconies and outdoor spaces. There are flats surrounded by greenery, large terraces and houses where the boundary between indoors and outdoors seems to become increasingly blurred.

Rome isn’t necessarily the sort of place that blows you away the first time you visit.

Rome is a city best appreciated by experiencing it first-hand.

With breakfast on the balcony.
A walk along the River Tiber.
Dinner at Ponte Milvio.
And then there’s the pleasure of heading back towards a quieter road.

An area that doesn’t need to be seen

The Farnesina houses something quite rare: discretion.

It is elegant without being formal, central without the hustle and bustle of the city centre, and lively without losing its residential character.

It’s not the sort of neighbourhood for people who are constantly looking for a glimpse of Rome through their window.

It’s the neighbourhood for those who want to know that Rome is right there, just a stone’s throw away, but who also want a place where they can leave it behind for a few hours.

Perhaps that is precisely what makes it so appealing.

The Farnesina isn’t trying to impress. It’s simply trying to make your life better.
