Deckedout with vintage finds, Casacau offers secluded and surprisingly peaceful boutique apartments in the centre of Rome – in a 17th-century building just steps from the Trevi fountain. Helpful and well-informed hosts havecurated the seriously alla moda Sixties-inspired crash pads, of the kind flamboyant Italian fashion dames Anna Dello Russo or Anna Piaggi would approve of, using dramatic fresco-printed headboards, era-spanning art prints,a sprinkling of antique trinkets, and turquoise and tangerine-hued mid-century modern kitchenettes for self-catering flexibility.

All the apartments all have dining spaces andopen kitchens, supplied with a selection of cooking materials. On awakening, you will be provided with fresh supplies for your breakfast. Stazione di Posta , in a publication exclusively printed for CasaCau, will also suggest a few seasonal recipes guests can either cook for themselves at home or on requesthave dishes delivered or prepared by our cooks directly in the apartmentkitchens.

Apartment 4 is 52 sq m for 2 people. The floor still has the marble chip tiles of old, with cement “inlays”. The large bright room features an installation-bed in the middle. A view on the square, very spacious bathroom with Turkish bath and tub. Open plan kitchen with dining room dominated by the gold of the contemporary furniture, such as the cement table, a work by Martin Bachmann. The apartment may be joined to Interior 5 and host 4 people.
