What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Sentho Roma turns a 17th-century palazzo into a study in ease and design… the courtyard garden, shared with the basilica, adds a rare hush to city life.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Via Urbana is lined with local wine bars and trattorias, giving Monti a village rhythm close to the central station.
The rooms
Original ceiling frescoes look down on marble desks, and arched church-style windows open toward the courtyard.
At the table
Breakfast is laid out in the dining room, and evening drinks move up to the rooftop terrace overlooking Monti.
How it began
Third-generation Roman hoteliers restored the nineteenth-century palazzo in 2022, fifty years after their family opened its first Rome hotel.
