DOMUS! Historic Rome Palazzo: Modern Luxury, near Piazza Navona

The Space:
NEW! Domus Domitia is an enchanting blend of history and modernity awaiting lucky guests within the walls of this seventeenth-century Rome palace. In the heart of the historic center, overlooking the picturesque Vicolo Domizio, and nestled between Piazza Navona and the Vatican, Domus Domitia offers a unique experience.

As you step through the entrance, you will be greeted by the portal designed by the renowned Florentine architect Antonio Sangallo. Sangallo, who also contributed to Saint Peter’s project alongside Bramante, infuses the space with a warm connection to both history and contemporary architecture. The meticulous attention to detail throughout the house is priceless.

Every element of the residence mixes elegance and functionality, a rare combo. The thoughtful design prioritizes space, natural light, and comfort. Even the former palace warehouse on the lower level has been seamlessly integrated. Transparencies and reflections between the two residence levels create an ambiance that is nothing short of extraordinary.

Inside, an eclectic mix of contemporary art and traditional furniture spans different epochs. The deliberate contrast appeals to those who appreciate history within a modern, luxurious setting—an authentic Roman lifestyle experience.

The independent entrance ensures privacy despite the central location. The quiet lane adjacent to the famous antique Via dei Coronari adds to the charm. And within the palace, the total white aesthetic is punctuated by shades of green and plum in the sofas from the early twenties, creating a lively and inviting living room—a perfect spot for relaxation.

Throughout the house, modern art pieces carry a consistent theme. In the living room, the panel on the wall boldly declares “DOMUS DOMITIA,” drawing inspiration from the vibrant nightclubs of the 1980s.

In the first bedroom, your attention is drawn to an illuminated panel commissioned by a Russian artist. The letters, reminiscent of Majakowski, express freedom and are inspired by the soundtrack of Cinderella: “A dream is a wish your heart makes.”

The fabric lamps, with their futuristic flair, are the creative work of artist Paola Napoleone. From the master bedroom, you step into an intimate courtyard adorned with climbing plants. The highlight of this serene space is a Roman fountain, recovered during restoration excavations. An en suite bathroom completes the master suite.

The second bedroom exudes coziness, featuring a beautiful Toile de Jouy headboard in delicate shades of grey. Another en suite bathroom ensures comfort and convenience.
