Holy Deer San Lorenzo City Lodge

Overlooking the Fountain of the Four Rivers – one of the most famous landmarks of the Eternal City – the views from this apartment are unsurpassed.

From the moment that guests set foot in the apartment via an ornate spiral staircase, they will be transported to another time. 17th Century classic Baroque style is seamlessly blended with 21st Century modernism, for a truly exquisite union. The effortless sense of space and grandeur is highlighted using Baroque concepts such as continuous flowing motion throughout the rooms, and specific lighting to create a dreamlike aesthetic, evoking emotion and passion, emphasising the intricate ceiling frescoes.

Superior luxury emanates from each room, and guests will feel completely at ease in the sumptuous soft furnishings and neutral colour palette. Swathes of light flood through the open-plan design, highlighting the stunning marble-framed passageways. Each room features individual colour accents that complementing the muted blue-grey tones throughout the apartment.

Featuring a comfortable lounge and bar and two opulent bedrooms, this apartment is perfect for a small group of friends or loved ones to enjoy a deluxe city retreat. There is also a library, a study, and a music room with a beautiful piano for guests to enjoy. For guests wishing to host lavish events, there is an elegant dining area with stunning chandeliers for an authentic Italian feel.

The Pope’s Room is the apartment’s master bedroom and was designed for Pope Innocent X himself. The suite features 4.5m high windows opening onto a balcony that directly overlooks Piazza Navona, an elevated deluxe bed with elaborate headboard, and eight metre-high ceilings adorned with intricate frescoes. With its stunning en-suite bathroom leading to a luxurious hot tub, guests can relax in style in a room steeped in history.

The intimate and cosy Via Dell’Anima Room takes its name from the bustling street it overlooks. Elegant fabric wallpaper accentuates the incredible floral wall art and complements the ceiling fresco overhead. An antique marble fireplace adds further warmth and style to the room.

A large adjoined dressing room offers a space for guests to get ready in style and a hidden door cleverly disguises the entrance to the ornate en-suite bathroom, maintaining the symmetry of the room.
