From the rooftop terrace there’s a marvelous view of the bell tower of Santa Maria Maggiore. The rooms are in two adjacent buildings that have been lovingly renovated to their original fin de siècle splendor. They are tastefully decorated, and the suites are furnished with 19th-century antiques.
All rooms, decorated in the refined style of the last century, feature direct-dial telephone, satellite TV in English, French, Spanish and German, frigobar, in-room safe, electric kettle for tea and coffee making, fax and computer connections. The three suites are luxuriously furnished with authentic XIXth century antiques. Suites feature fireplace parlours and superb bathrooms clad in pink Portuguese or yellow Siena marble. For the ultimate in luxury, all bathrooms are marbleclad with particular attention to lighting.
