Vincent is an extremely romantic apartment, decorated and furnished in a French style and located a few minutes away from the famous Spanish Steps. It can accommodate from 4 to 6 people.
It is placed on the second floor (no lift) of the building which was once the convent of San Carlo, the adjoining church in the centre of Via del Corso, and looks right onto the prestigious and historic Plaza Hotel.
The area is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious in the city; extremely central, it is in fact the daily destination of all those who want to enjoy a cultural walk around the city or simply go shopping.
Over the summer months the accommodation remains cool thanks to its position and the thickness of its ancient walls.
In the Piazza at the base is the Early Baroque fountain called La Fontana della Barcaccia ("Fountain of the Old Boat"), built in 1627-29 and often credited to Pietro Bernini, father of a more famous son, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who is recently said to have collaborated on the decoration. The elder Bernini had been the pope's architect for the Acqua Vergine, since 1623. According to an unlikely legend, Pope Urban VIII had the fountain installed after he had been impressed by a boat brought here by a flood of the Tiber river.
In the piazza, at the corner on the right as one begins to climb the steps, is the house where English poet John Keats lived and died in 1821; it is now a museum dedicated to his memory, full of memorabilia of the English Romantic generation. On the same right side stands the 15th century former cardinal Lorenzo Cybo de Mari's palace, now Ferrari di Valbona, a building altered in 1936 to designs by Marcello Piacentini, the main city planner during Fascism, with modern terraces perfectly in harmony with the surrounding baroque context.
At the top the Viale ramps up the Pincio which is the Pincian Hill, omitted, like the Janiculum, from the classic Seven hills of Rome. From the top of the steps the Villa Medici can also be easily reached.
