this place looks every bit its age, which is about a century. All of the fourteen rooms and suites are capacious and elegant, with antique furniture and up-to-date amenities
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tucked away on Quirinal Hill, the villa sits in quiet contrast to the bustling streets of Monti and the nearby Trevi Fountain.
The rooms
Antique prints and mahogany French windows dress the high-ceilinged bedrooms, overlooking either the private Italian courtyard or the Quirinal Palace gardens.
The baths and saunas
Subterranean thermal rooms include a vaulted tepidarium and Turkish bath, and three hydro-massage jacuzzis sit on the rooftop terrace.
The spa and gym
Private suites host Roman-inspired treatments and wine-extract baths, set beside a 24-hour gym under vaulted ceilings.
Restaurant
Sala dei Papiers Peints
Antique French wallpaper lines the intimate dining room, which serves traditional Roman dishes and wine from the family estate.
You instantly feel the warmth that Rasponi and her descendants have worked so diligently to create; fine tapestries hang on walls, heirloom furnishings sit in the common areas.
Rooftop Terrace Bar
Shaded lounge sofas surround an illuminated bar pouring Umbrian wines and aperitifs above the Roman rooftops.
At the table
Gravel pathways lead to shaded garden tables in the private courtyard for outdoor dining among trimmed hedges.
How it began
Countess Gabriella Rasponi built the neoclassical estate in the early 1900s, hosting intellectuals and film crews before her descendants welcomed hotel guests.
