Located near the picturesque Piazza di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, Casa Carlo Alberto has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from a Bed & Breakfast into a charming residential apartment. 

The apartment, situated in Rome's Esquilino district on Via Carlo Alberto, is within a building dating back to 1870 and covers approximately 110 square metres. The renovation aimed to restore the original room dimensions and internal structures, such as the wooden ceilings, which were previously hidden by the reeded chamber ceilings, traces of which remain on the walls. Two horizontal elements emphasise the recovered heights: the change in the finish of the walls, left rough and unpainted, and the original finishes. The pre-existing cement tile floors have been carefully restored, integrating reclaimed elements to preserve their authenticity.
