Visiting Rome during your stay
A luxury hotel in the heart of Rome
A luxury hotel in Rome that reflects the eclectic soul of the city through an ancient and evocative setting that transforms the feelings of Goethe’s travels into interior design, style and experiences.
The echoes of the Grand Tour are very strong here. To visit Rome today is to make an initiatory journey into the essence of beauty, retracing the steps described by Goethe in the pages of his book.
Our luxury hotel embodies the vitality of Rome by creating a unique concept environment that provides a base from which to explore the wonders of the Eternal City.
Imagine walking along the Roman Forum among centuries-old columns, getting lost in the gardens of Villa Borghese, wandering the narrow streets of Trastevere, catching a glimpse of the Colosseum, and watching the sunset from the Pincio terrace. Every corner of Rome holds a secret, a spark, a fragment of a bygone era that vibrantly lives on.
This is a visit to Rome that is not just a physical journey, but an authentic immersion in human history.
You will fall in love with Rome like Goethe did and then, like him, you will cherish the memory of an unforgettable adventure.
“It is fair to say that a new life begins when you see with your eyes what you already know in your mind. And I now see all the dreams of my youth coming alive.”
