To stay in our properties is to experience the Eternal City in its most authentic rhythm. Between the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo lies a neighborhood rich with history, creativity, and craftsmanship. From Renaissance villas to local ateliers, every corner tells a different Roman story. Here are some of our favorite neighborhood gems: timeless places that still carry the city’s spirit of art and discovery.
Villa Medici — Where Art and History Meet
Perched above Piazza di Spagna, Villa Medici stands as a serene masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. Home to the French Academy in Rome, it bridges the past and the present, housing works by Bernini, Caravaggio, and contemporary artists who continue its creative lineage. Its vast gardens, filled with sculptures and cypress trees, open onto one of the most beautiful views of the city — a quiet refuge of art and light.
Ara Pacis Museum — A Modern Temple for Ancient Beauty
On the banks of the Tiber, the Ara Pacis Museum unites ancient harmony with modern design. Its minimalist glass pavilion protects the Altar of Peace, an exquisite marble monument from the age of Augustus. Inside, changing exhibitions of photography, art, and design remind visitors that Rome’s dialogue between old and new never ceases.
Palazzo Bonaparte — Art Behind Imperial Walls
A few steps from Piazza Venezia, Palazzo Bonaparte was once the residence of Letizia Ramolino Bonaparte, Napoleon’s mother. Today it has become a cultural landmark — a space of past grandeur and contemporary creativity. Its frescoed ceilings, sweeping staircases, and ever-evolving exhibitions make it one of Rome’s most elegant places to rediscover the power of imagination.
Chiostro del Bramante — Renaissance Calm in the Heart of the City
Tucked away near Piazza Navona, the Chiostro del Bramante is one of Rome’s most poetic spaces. Designed by Donato Bramante in the 16th century, this cloister is a triumph of symmetry and silence — a haven of calm surrounded by art. Its galleries host exhibitions that merge Renaissance grace with contemporary thought, and its café in the courtyard remains one of Rome’s most peaceful spots for an afternoon espresso.
Local Artisans & Bespoke Shopping
Wander the elegant streets around Via Babuino and Via Margutta, and you’ll discover the timeless craft that still defines Roman style. Leather workshops, tailors, framers, and jewelry makers keep alive traditions passed down for generations. Our concierge will be delighted to share addresses of hidden ateliers, independent designers, and one-of-a-kind boutiques where artistry meets authenticity.
Via Margutta & EMME — The Heartbeat of the Neighborhood
Once the refuge of painters and poets, Via Margutta remains one of Rome’s most enchanting streets. Among ivy-covered façades and cobblestones, EMME Restaurant has become the neighborhood’s living room — a place to meet friends, share an aperitivo, or dine under the stars. Its lush garden terrace captures the Roman art of lingering — where time slows and the city feels like a private conversation.
Pincio Terrace — Rome at Its Most Romantic
Just above Piazza del Popolo, the Pincio Terrace offers one of the city’s most cinematic views. At sunset, the domes and rooftops of Rome dissolve into shades of amber and rose — a daily masterpiece that never repeats itself. It’s a favorite place for locals and travelers alike to pause, breathe, and remember why the world fell in love with Rome.
