As Walk With Me Tim notes, the hotel boasts a beautiful hidden garden, elegant rooms with private balconies, and excellent service, making it a top choice for a lavish Roman stay. This combination of seclusion and sophistication sets it apart.
Beyond the rooms, the property’s enchanting garden and outdoor terrace create a romantic, cosy atmosphere, while its historic building and rooftop add layers of old-world charm.

What creators say about the stay
Rooms
- The room has a lovely garden view with a huge private balcony, recently upgraded with a firm bed, marble bathroom, and a snug office area. The green theme matches the garden, and the mini bar is well-stocked but hidden.
Facilities
- The spa is temporarily closed and relocated to hotel rooms, which is a bit of a shame. The garden is beautiful and feels like a hidden oasis in Rome.
Location
- Great location in the heart of Rome, close to major attractions like the Trevi Fountain and Colosseum.
Service
- The staff are brilliant and can't do enough for you. They provided a welcome gift with Italian treats, wine, and a chocolate egg for Easter.
Breakfast
- Breakfast is included in the room rate with options like omelette, scrambled eggs, bacon, and waffles. It's served in the beautiful garden setting.
Value for money
- Paid €2,500 for the room and received a free upgrade to a suite with a balcony. Good value for a luxury hotel in Rome.
