Aristocratic villa hideaway
A noble family residence along the Tiber where quiet mornings beside a walled garden pool yield to late-night subterranean clubbing.
“A private stone path leads you away from the beeping horns and sirens of Lungotevere, under archways draped in jasmine, to a peaceful walled courtyard…”

Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
the villa itself is a stunner, its well-preserved exterior giving way to interiors that blend the historic with the contemporary…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along the Tiber River in Campo Marzio, the property is a five-minute walk from Piazza del Popolo and Villa Borghese.
The rooms
High ceilings and parquet floors frame quiet bedrooms, finished with marble ensuite bathrooms and views of the garden or the Tiber.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Marble-lined and shaded by lemon trees, the outdoor pool sits secluded within the villa's private walled garden.
The spa
Below ground, the spa has private treatment rooms, a Turkish hammam, a Finnish sauna, and a whirlpool.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Donkey's Bar serves regional Italian dishes across the salons and garden. Downstairs, Raspoutine pours cocktails among red velvet banquettes.
the villa has been turned into a 30-room hotel complete with a secluded leafy garden scented with olive and lemon trees and unusually for Rome, a petite outdoor pool.
How it began

The Liberty-style villa was built for the noble Malaspina family, who named it in tribute to 18th-century marquise Anna Maria Malaspina.
