HOUSE MANUAL
HEATING /AIR CONDITIONING
The property’s air conditioning system operates in a single mode at a time: either heating or cooling.
Each of the 7 remote controls must be set to the same mode:
• Use the Sun icon (☀️) for heating
• Use the Snowflake icon (❄️) for cooling
It’s normal for the units to take 5–10 minutes to start blowing air.
❗Please do not change the mode individually on any remote, as this may cause the entire system to malfunction or shut down. All remotes must be set together.
Important: Respecting the environment is a core value in our operations and we kindly ask you to use air conditioning mindfully. Keep windows and doors closed while the system is running, and turn it off when leaving the property to help us reduce energy waste.

NEIGHBORHOOD GUIDE
The Centro Storico is almost like a city within Rome - it's a relatively dense area (a little bit over 3km2) divided into 23 districts or rioni, the most central of which being our neighborhood Trevi along with rione Pigna, St. Eustachio, Parione and Colonna. This is where you can spend your days strolling between landmark icons like piazza Navona, the Pantheon, the Trevi fountain and the Spanish steps while discovering multiple layers of historical architecture. Right along the Tiber, rione Regola and Ponte don't lack interesting and beautiful places as they offer some of the prettiest and least touristy walking itineraries around piazza Farnese, via Giulia, Campo de Fiori and the Jewish Ghetto. Rione Campitelli is where most of the archeologic sites are concentrated including the Colosseum and the Imperial Forum. The nearby quirky neighborhood of Monti is characterized by the contrast between the historic backdrop and the up and coming shops and restaurants, making it one of Rome’s favorite nightlife destinations. Across the Tiber spreads Trastevere, the largest among the rioni, with its scenic cobblestoned streets and famous food scene, alongside Vatican City and the residential Prati district. Finally, to get a glimpse of a more authentic Rome you should not miss taking a walk around the Aventine hill and having a plate of pasta at one of the authentic, time - capsule eateries of Testaccio.
