Each
living room is furnished with double sleeper sofa, coffee table,
satellite TV, dining table and 4 chairs, wardrobe, floor lamp and
good lighting. The dining table is expandable and can double as a
writing desk, and there is a phone line to connect your laptop to the
Internet. All furnishings are modern and functional (from Ikea) and the
17th c. building adds it's historic feel with high beamed ceilings.

coffee maker, utensils, dishes and table ware, you can prepare
breakfast and simple meals.

The
1 bedroom apartment is well suited for a couple, the bedroom has a
queen size bed, the bathroom has a shower.
The 2 bedroom apartment is good for 2
couples, the main bedroom with queen size bed is comfortable and has
an en-suite bathroom with shower. The smaller bedroom is just that, a
small bedroom with the queen size bed taking up most of the space. The
second bathroom with shower is only a few steps away, next to the
living room.
Each apartment can sleep additional 2
people on the living room double sofa-bed. The sofa-beds are new and
high quality and very comfortable even for full size adults, we've
tested these beds ourselves.
For the summer time it's important to
note that there is no air-conditioning. Palazzo Olivia, like all
masonry buildings, stays naturally cooler than the outside air during
the summer. The
building is made with heavy masonry and has high ceilings, you can
usually get
some cross ventilation by opening the windows and there are movable
electric fans in every apartment. April, May, June, September and October are
typically delightful months in Rome, when neither heating or cooling
is usually needed. July and August are normally the warmest time in
Rome. For the colder
months, central heating is individually controlled with a thermostat
in each apartment, and the heating cost is included in your rental.

about 12 feet square. All living rooms face the pedestrian street with
2 large double pane windows. The 1 bedroom apartments have the bedroom
window on the light-well. The 2 bedroom apartments have the smaller
bedroom also with a window on the light-well and the larger bedroom
and its en-suite bath both with windows to the courtyard in the back.
