Spread over the third floor of an enormous 19th-century palazzo on Piazza del Popolo, this lovely B&B features five sumptuous and very comfortable designer rooms.

Design and furnishings are top-notch, and the ever-friendly and helpful staff are available if you need anything. A continental breakfast of breads, croissants, yoghurt, fruit and fresh coffee and juices, made to order, are served each morning. During the day, room service of light snacks and drinks are available.

The location is excellent for sightseeing – nearly all the major attractions of Rome are within a half-hour walk.

It’s perfect for couples who prefer privacy in a non-hotel atmosphere.

Surrounding area

The guesthouse (other floors are used as offices) overlooks buzzing Piazza del Popolo – one of Rome’s most important Baroque set pieces, with its churches, obelisk fountain, ceremonial gates, and steps up to the Pincio hill up to the Villa Borghese gardens.

The Flaminio metro stop is right by the palace entrance, and the fashionable shopping district around Via Condotti and the Spanish Steps is a 10-minute walk to the south.
