About

Fontana Piu Stella

Fontana Piu Stella is a small apartment residence set on the banks of the Tiber, with the Pantheon a seven-minute walk away. The building holds just six units, each with its own terrace or balcony and many looking out over the river and the rooftops of Rome. A lift serves the floors, and key access keeps the building secure.

The apartments are fitted for longer stays, with a kitchen or kitchenette, washing machine, and tea and coffee facilities. The residence also lays on practical extras: a concierge desk, luggage storage, paid airport shuttle, and a grocery shopping service. From the windows, you can see the city unfold, and the location puts the Spanish Steps and Ara Pacis within easy reach.

  • No pets and no on-site smoking — The residence does not allow pets, and smoking is prohibited on the premises.
  • Small property, no full hotel services — With only six apartments, there's no restaurant or gym, and some guests may miss a more traditional hotel experience.
