Villa Spalletti Trivelli may be just moments from the Trevi Fountain, but it’s a world away from the hubbub of Italy’s capital. This intimate hideaway has just 15 luxury bedrooms and individually styled suites, giving visitors a taste of aristocratic grandeur. With a Roman Baths-inspired wellness centre too, it’s as relaxing as it is refined. The exterior is classically Italian and filled with Antiques and fine art. The rooftop is an exclusive space with shaded loungers, bar, Jacuzzis and soothing music – the place to be as the sun sets over the Eternal City. After a 2017 renovation, Rome’s historic Hotel Eden re-emerged with an extensive face-lift. The 128-year-old hotel’s marble and gold lobby hints at the 98 opulent guest rooms that have been refreshed with gold detailing and original artwork. The Eden Spa uses products from the Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, founded in 1612. The top-floor restaurant, La Terrazza, serves Italian cuisine with views of St. Peter’s Basilica. Chef Fabio Ciervo takes Italian cuisine to new heights with a philosophy based on ‘innovation, wellbeing, ingredients, taste and art’and dishes that combine innovation with tradition. Aldrovandi Villa Borghese is a true urban retreat in a plush residential area of the city next to the lush green Borghese gardens and the historic landmarks of Borghese Gallery and Valle Giulia. Built in the 19th century, the impressive white villa was recently upgraded and includes lavish marble interiors, sparkling chandeliers and first-class amenities. The hotel boasts its own secluded park, a beautiful outdoor pool and al fresco dining. Blending sophistication and rich history, it offers guests the perfect peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. Ideally located above the iconic Spanish Steps, Hotel de la Ville seamlessly blends Roman history and 18th-century architecture with the modern amenities, exceptional dining, flawless service and unique interior design expected of a Rocco Forte property. After exploring the delights of Italy’s ‘Eternal City’, unwind in the stunning Sicilian-inspired spa, refuel with creative cuisine in one of the beautiful restaurants, or sip Italian aperitivos in the glamorous rooftop bar, overlooking the cobblestone streets and breathtaking buildings of Rome.
