Intimate Monti lodgings
Conceived as a private townhouse rather than a grand hotel, this fifteen-key address balances quiet courtyard breakfasts with daily afternoon tea.
“The hotel attracts younger couples due to the intimate setting, limited rooms, and local feel.”

The design, too, is perfectly of the moment; classic architecture, a bit of stucco, some very contemporary colors, and vintage furniture…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along cobblestoned Via Urbana in bohemian Monti, independent artisan workshops and traditional trattorias lie just ten minutes on foot from the Colosseum.
The rooms
