Centered on Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, this approximately 400 m² (4,305 ft²) penthouse occupies the upper three levels of a historic building in Trastevere. The property is on the market for €6,500,000 with Italy Sotheby's International Realty.
Trastevere sits on the west bank of the Tiber River, just across from Rome’s historic center. The name derives from trans Tiberim, or “across the Tiber.” It is defined by narrow cobblestone streets, ivy-covered buildings, and street life that extends from daytime cafés into late evening. Centered around Piazza Santa Maria—home to one of the city’s oldest churches—the district combines residential use with restaurants, wine bars, and small shops embedded throughout its streets.
The penthouse apartment is arranged across three levels. The lowest is dedicated to four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Above, the primary living space combines reception rooms, a dining area, and kitchen, centered around a living room defined by a gilded coffered ceiling. Windows overlook the Piazza Santa Maria, maintaining a direct visual connection to the square below.
The upper level, arranged as a secondary lounge with a fireplace, opens onto a rooftop terrace overlooking Trastevere’s rooftops and church domes. In a district defined by low-rise buildings and narrow streets, outdoor space at this elevation remains relatively uncommon.
Large windows throughout the residence frame views toward the piazza and allow consistent natural light into the interiors.
A separate ground-floor unit of approximately 120 m² (1,292 ft²) is also available for purchase. Currently configured as a commercial or gallery space, it can also be converted into a private garage in Rome’s historic center, where private parking is relatively rare.
Positioned above Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, the residence brings together scale, finish, and a more private vantage point within one of Rome’s most active historic settings.
