Housing the French Academy, Villa Medici serves as a cross-cultural hub in Rome. Beyond hosting artist and special installations, Villa Medici itself has recently undergone refurbishment, featuring ornate interiors decorate with Fendi furnishings. 

When it comes to penthouse living in Rome, look no further than Rocco Forte House. Offering two and four bedroom apartments, Rocco Forte House is the perfect spot for families looking to spread out and relax. Be sure to enjoy the rooftop terrace and bar, exclusively for guests. 

Although it is probably considered a tourist trap, it commands memorable views. The Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti (the Spanish steps) provide a perfect people-watching perch.
