Now that summer is finally here, requests for affordable, private, and central rooftops are multiplying, but hotel and restaurant terraces in Rome can only host so many people! However, if you’ve read our blog before, you’ll know that some of our properties do have access to a rooftop of their own: like the apartments at Via Toscana, for instance (an example is )! That exclusive access is now also a reality at Castro Pretorio 30, where our agency manages a number of properties.

Walking distance from the main train station at Roma Termini but at the same time located in one of the quietest streets in that area, Castro Pretorio 30 is a 19th century building where several convenient and elegant accommodations are available, whether you’re in Rome for a work event or your holidays! And there’s a wonderful surprise awaiting…

Imagine sipping your morning espresso while gazing across the Eternal City’s rooftops, or unwinding with an aperitivo as the golden hour bathes the skyline around you. This isn’t just a dream – it’s waiting for you at Castro Pretorio 30! Thanks to its generous owners, all of our guests have access to a stunning sixth-floor rooftop terrace that epitomizes the art of Italian living.

Perched high above Rome’s vibrant Castro Pretorio neighborhood, this beautifully appointed terrace offers a serene escape from the city’s energetic pulse below. The space features elegant wrought-iron furniture, creating the perfect Mediterranean ambiance for relaxation. Lush palm trees and carefully curated succulents add a touch of green sophistication, while the pergola’s natural bamboo ceiling provides welcome shade during those warm Roman afternoons.

What makes this rooftop truly special is its exclusivity – it’s available solely for building guests, ensuring an intimate and peaceful atmosphere. Whether you’re starting your day with a leisurely breakfast, diving into that novel you’ve been meaning to read, or simply soaking up the Italian sun, this space becomes your personal Roman retreat. The thoughtful layout includes multiple seating areas, from intimate conversation nooks to a spacious dining table perfect for sharing meals with fellow travelers or planning your next Roman adventure.

For those seeking something extra special, the rooftop terrace can be privately rented for intimate celebrations – imagine toasting a milestone birthday or anniversary under the Roman stars!

The rooftop is open daily with seasonal hours posted in the building lobby. While the building’s elevator serves the first five floors, the final climb to the sixth floor is well worth the effort – consider it a small adventure that leads to your own piece of Roman paradise. 

The space operates on a simple philosophy of mutual respect: bring what you need, enjoy the tranquility, and be mindful of your fellow guests sharing this special experience. A Nespresso with its pods is available, along with fresh bottled water. The owners simply ask that you’re respectful of residents and other guests alike: dressing modestly, using the sofas and chairs for their intended use only (therefore… not as sun loungers!), cleaning after yourselves. Please also note that opening hours may change temporarily when the rooftop has been booked for a private function!

As we write this, and are both available to rent in the building. Get in touch with our office to book your stay today!
