Casa Nel Cuore Del Borgo

Barrier-free property

Located on Plautus Street, in the vibrant heart of the historic Borgo district, this home is a refined example of architectural restoration, blending industrial memories with vintage and bohemian design. The address is well known to local residents because it once housed a historic antiques and vintage furnishings shop, now converted into a loft—for residential use—that fully preserves the character of late-19th-century commercial and artisan premises. Despite being on the ground floor, natural light filtering through the imposing iron-framed entrance windows harmoniously merges with the artificial lighting of the spotlights running along the tracks.

This interplay of light enhances the spectacular small vaulted ceilings, warming the spacious living area conceived as the hub of conviviality, set to the timeless charm of the checkerboard floor in cream white and Verona red tones. Along the route leading to the more private part of the home, three light wells guide guests toward the bedrooms—two quiet rooms with a discreet view onto the inner courtyard—and the bathrooms—modern spaces finished in travertine, fitted with wall-hung sanitary ware and designer heated towel rails with a clean, contemporary look.

The entire home, recently renovated and carefully customized, exudes authenticity and could be a suitable setting for hosting, listening to music, or dividing the space into a home-studio. Given the independent entrance, it could be ideal as a hospitality business.

Via Plauto lies within the so-called Leonine City, the area enclosed by the walls commissioned by Pope Leo IV in the 9th century to protect the Vatican. The neighborhood underwent major changes during the 20th century, yet streets like this still retain the character of old shops and artisan workshops. The street preserves the typical look of the Borgo district, with cobblestone lanes and a picturesque atmosphere recalling the area’s medieval and Renaissance charm. It links Piazza Americo Capponi to Borgo Pio. It is strategically located, a short walk from St. Peter’s Basilica, close to the historic center, bordering the Prati district.
