The palazzo makes a good first impression. Redone by the French architect Jean Nouvel, it’s an old building with a modern interior, which now houses the Alda Fendi Foundation. The feeling of haute style never leaves Mirror Ruby, with the steel and glass services, industrial finishes and drops of intense red all over the flat. The level of service almost (almost) feels over the top – as well as everything you might expect from a swanky hotel there are also things like the pillow menu, ensuring you’re as comfortable as is humanly possible.

Local guide
About Aventino
As one of the city's legendary seven hills, the Aventine plays a central role in the founding mythology of Rome. In ancient times it was a hive of activity – the home of foreign religious cults and dens of iniquity that caused consternation among the powers that be. Today it is a quiet residential neighbourhood full of sprawling mansions, historic churches and lovely gardens. There are no restaurants up here,...

Host
This home is managed by Simone
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Roberto and his team look after the apartments in the Alda Fendi Foundation – one of the most stylish buildings in the city (it was recently renovated by the architectural superstar Jean Nouvel). The level of service they offer is mind-boggling, with pretty much everything you can think of (or certainly that we could think of) on the table.
