Our tour director had told us about Via Margutta, but also (she wasn't certain of the exact address) on Margutta - the house where Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn filmed Roman Holiday. It was one of our favorite movies, and after that, we were determined to find it! We stopped a woman near an art gallery that was closed for repairs, she invited us into the store and introduced us to another saleswoman, who pointed to the art gallery's huge doors that were LOCKED - #52. Unfortunately, it's not open to the public on weekends, we were told. I walked back a bit to at least get some photos of the outside of the place, and another person came out of there! We asked if we could go in and take some photos, and he replied "I have no objections"! YEAH!!!
We went in and ... Surprise!! There's about 20 different apartments with balconies! Which one? We wandered around and I shot photos of EVERY one from the courtyard. Then a woman walked behind us, and we were pretending that we didn't really see her, not wanting to be kicked out of there! She smiled at us, so my wife asked if she knew which balcony, etc. She said "Come on, I'm going that way!" and led us right to the stairs, climbed up and pointed out the exact balcony!
So, it took a team of about 5 people that helped us find and take photos of the exact stairs and balcony!
Ahh, Mission Accomplished!

I had read a review in a Guide Book about Via Margutta, so we decided to visit.
It's a lovely cobbled street with many boutiques and workshops. It was very quiet and was a pleasure to stroll along it.
The day we visited, it poured down with rain. This did not stop Via Margutta being attractive and beautiful in the dark clouded day with dappled sun light.
Definitely worth a stroll!

If you get here you will stay surprised how silent and different it is from just a few meters around the corner when coming from Via del Babuino or the Spanish Steps. Once here drop an eye at the n. 54 (you can go in) as it is a fantastic living place right in the center of Rome without smog and noise. There are romantic restaurants and art galleries all along. Head for the vegetarian restaurant at the end of the street towards Piazza del Popolo. It´s one of the best.

Here you find tasteful antique shops, artisan workshops, jewellery and designer clothes shops which are not cheap but even if the prices are out of your league is worth a stroll along which is quite charming backstreet as all along this hidden gem of a street are old walls decked with flowers. There are also places decent small cafes as well. A delightful find near the Spanish Steps.

Between the Trevi fountain and the Spanish steps is this sweet charming little street. Pop into where Gregory Pecks apartment was in Roman Holiday as well just to the left of the small street fountain.

Via Margutta is the most beautiful street in Rome. I first stumbled upon it as a backpacker in 1961 and although I have visited Rome many times since, I never miss walking down via Margutta. And the history! It's where Gregory Peck's apartment was in Roman Holiday, it's were Picasso had a studio, it's where Truman Capote lived and wrote "Breakfast at Tiffanys" it's where the great Fellini lived, it's where Henry James lover lived etc. etc. So don't miss via Margutta when you visit Rome !

My family and I stayed at an apartment in via Margutta. It was very quiet at night (no traffic noise!) and yet only a 30 second walk to the best shopping streets in Rome!!

This is like a hidden treasure - a lovely cobble stones laneway, with little hotels tucked away, boutique shops and place to dine. In the morning and evening you can wander it without anyone around, and gaze up at the old buildings with their shutters. Maybe even meet one of the friendly local cats wandering by.

Via Margutta is an off the beaten path road near the Trevi Fountain. As we walked along Via Margutta beautiful homes and cascading trees and plants surrounded us while most shops were closed but the window shopping was just as delightful. it was an amazing night topped off with dinner at Terrazza Margutta an ABSOULTE must. Chef Antonio is amazing and as Terrazza Margutta is a champagneria it's a must for bubbly fans - especially if your in the mood for some delicious risotto cooked in nothing else but some champagne!

It's just a street, but if Gregory Peck "lived" there in Roman Holiday, it must be something.
We stayed on this street a year ago, and would never have known it existed so close to the Spanish Steps, but I is so beautiful. Greenery, flowers, fountains and cobble stones.
We made a special effort to stroll down the street, appreciate the scenery and just soak up the ambiance. In a town that can be very stony, the greenery is special.
It must be the most beautiful street close to tourist attractions.

ciao a tutti, domenica mattina mi troverò dalle parti di via Margutta, qualcuno sa dirmi se vale la pena passarci o c'è il classico "deserto" del "tutto chiuso"?. grazie
Written November 16, 2015
via Margutta non è una via commerciale, ci sono gallerie d'arte, piccole botteghe artigianali , la domenica saranno chiuse, ma questo è il fascino di questa strada rimasta ancora intatta e non invasa da negozi e fast food. sono belle le case alle pendici del Pincio con giardini e cortili interni, è un'oasi di pace nel traffico di Roma, se cerchi negozi la parallela via del Babbuino ne è piena e sono tutti grandi firme
