So there you have it, the best penthouse rental options that Rome has to offer. We hope you have found your perfect Rome penthouse and most importantly, that you enjoy your Rome stay!
What a large array of facilities you have presented. As well as the proximity to places of interest as well as stores and other conveniences a traveller can ever want.
I have visited Italy, and especially Rome, several times. On one visit near the Coliseum I was almost had my wallet stolen by a gaggle of 12 year old gypsy boys. I managed to get my hand into my pocket just in time to feel one of the boys hands inside there. Of course they ran away once they failed in their attempt. Looking for their next victim no doubt. One needs to be careful.
I love penthouses as they provide a feeling of space as well as having great views of the surroundings. Any of these facilities would work wonderfully for me.
You didn’t talk about the actual price range of these properties. I would have appreciated some price comparisons too. I know I could find that out by going to their respective websites. May I ask why you didn’t?
Oh, I wish I was catching the next fight to Rome!
Hi Edwin, your advice is very helpful, thank you! Pricing depends on a lot of factors, most notably proximity to traveling relative to booking, but your comments will be taken into consideration. Happy travels to you!
I’m VERY interested in traveling to Rome, Italy in the next couple months. I’m impressed with the Cola di Rienzo Luxury Penthouse, I will definitely be trying to stay there at least a couple nights! The other penthouse that caught my eye was the Trastevere Charming Penthouse. It is sleek and contemporary. When you go to Italy I think it is important to stay in luxury hotels because it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. All the penthouses you’ve listed are extremely appealing, and I can’t wait to go to Rome! Thank you so much!
Hi Katy and thank you for your kind comments! So glad you were able to narrow down a couple of your favorites. Best wishes to you on your Rome trip 😌
Thanks so much for the pictures of the penthouses and your attention to detail. I find your website very addictive.
I think if I have to choose one it would be the Piazza Barberini. I chose this one because of the fact that it has a lot of bedrooms and I was planning a trip for the entire family.
I also wanted to rent the scooters and go see the palace.The list of restaurants helps give a variety of options for food.
I really thank you for allowing me to see all my options and be able to make a choice depending on what I want my vacation to be.
Blessings,
Lynda
Hi Lynda, glad to hear you found a particular interest in Piazza Barberini. Multiple bedrooms is one of the features that makes penthouses so great. Thank you again for stopping by!
Hello, I really appreciate your time and effort on writing about all these great places to go to in Rome which is probably the place I will take my wife to on our honeymoon. I especially like the Viale delle Milizie Penthouse with it’s amazing city views. The outdoor patio is a great place to have a glass of wine and spend some time with friends.
The way you laid it out is perfect and informative. Thanks for this article.
Hello Son, thank you for the comments! Glad to hear you are considering Rome for your honeymoon, excellent choice. Happy travels and congratulations 😊
I must say your website is a boon for travelers as you make it so easy for them to make the correct choices by doing the research and saving the time and hassle for them.
It would have been great if you would have mentioned the price of each of the penthouses in your list. It would have helped to finalize the respective penthouse.
However, can you please let me know what’s the best way to find out the individual price of the penthouses mentioned in your post? And what sort of discounts or promotional offers are available and whats the best way one I can get them?
Thanks
Nick
Hi Nick and thank you for the comments! Pricing depends on on when you are booking and how much availability there is. Supply and demand does play a role. Sometimes there will be discounts posted on the site but most of the time pricing is consistent. Thanks again for stopping by!
This is another great article from pentrental. Have I admitted before that this is one of my favorite website? I like how you bring us amazing spaces and ideas of where our next holiday destination could be. They always give me a feeling of what life on the other side of the world is.
Spagna Glamour Life Penthouse looks a dream vacation house. I love how all these places have great amenities like fully furnished rooms and of course, the scenic views. This will complete any visit for sure.
Thank you so much for the amazing reviews.
Carol your comments are flattering, thank you so much. You are always welcome at pentrental! Spagna Glamour Life Penthouse located in historic Old Town Rome is a fantastic choice 🙂
I have never been to Rome but it is one of those historical places I would love to see one day. The penthouses you present besides having lovely views are close to many tourist attractions as well as needed services. They look lovely and would make guests feel like they were living in palace rooms. It would be a way to spoil themselves for a short duration.
Thank you so much M. Tidbury!
What a fascinating selection of modern and exquisite accommodations provided by these penthouses. It is going to be a hard choice to decide which one is going to the best. I see that some of them are air-conditioned, can you tell me what kind of temperatures to expect there in Rome in the summertime? We are planning a trip next year so we need to know what clothes will be the best to wear on our trip. Thank you for giving us a preview of what to expect for accommodations when we travel.
Thank you Kenneth! Rome summers are quite pleasant with average highs in the upper 70s and average lows in the mid-60s, so shorts and t-shirts throughout the day should suit you just fine.
