Villa d’Este in Art
It’s always amazing to look at how artists have depicted a special place over time. Villa d’Este is one of those places, which has inspired artists for centuries.

Sometimes artists stood in the same spot, a century apart, and painted the same scene. Trees grew, and died, and were replaced. But it’s still the same magnificent view.

In the heart of Rome's Historic Center, between the beautiful Spanish Steps and the famous Trevi Fountain, this luxury two bedroom, two bathroom apartment is surrounded by fine dining and fabulous shopping. It is within walking distance of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and many other historic sites and museums, and near the subway, taxi stands, bus stops, and bike rental. Located in a traditional Roman palazzo, the apartment was fully renovated in late 2010 and is now available for vacation and short-term rental. View all posts by spanishstepsapartment
