Description
The Villa was built at the turn of the last century as a residence for Italian nobility and is surrounded by sumptuous private gardens; a real luxury in the heart of the city. The garden is peaceful and secluded and acts as the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of Rome. The inside walls are adorned with antique paintings, drawings and maps and many of the sumptuous original furnishings still remain.
Each of the 12 deluxe rooms are unique in their décor and have large windows overlooking the Quirinale Gardens or the Villa’s own garden. Antique heirlooms from the private collection of the Spalletti family are used throughout creating a highly personalised feel to each individual room. Every bedroom has a large marble bathroom with exquisite natural beauty products, a high speed internet connection and a 42 inch plasma television.
After a long day sightseeing the Villa is a perfect place to relax. On a sunny day you can have a refreshing drink in the shade of the gazebo or alternatively read one of the books from Count Spalletti’s original collection in the panelled library. The Hammam Wellness Centre and Energy Bar offer a number of ways to unwind or rejuvenate. Floating therapy and Energo-vibrational therapy are just two of the treatments offered which aim to achieve optimum balance between harmony and vitality.

When to travel
Rome enjoys a typically Mediterranean climate. Summers (from June to September) are hot and dry with temperatures often soaring to 37°C. High humidity is also common, particularly in July and August. Winter tends to be moderate, at least by northern European standards, with temperatures averaging around 10°C to 15°C between December and February. Spring (March to June) and early autumn (September and October) are the best times to visit Rome, with lovely blue skies and mild temperatures. November and December are the two wettest months.
Starting in mid-June, the summer rush really picks up, and from July to mid-September the Rome teems with visitors. August is the worst month: Not only does it get uncomfortably hot, muggy, and crowded, but the entire country goes on vacation at least from August 15 to the end of the month (many Italians take off the entire month). Many hotels, restaurants, and shops are closed.
