Experience the Eternal City in the lap of luxury in this stunning palazzo, right in the heart of Rome's historic centre. Built in the early 16th century, esteemed Renaissance artist Giorgio Vasari considered this address one of the finest palaces in the city. Every inch of this breathtaking home has been painstakingly maintained, renovated, and in some cases, enhanced to create an opulent setting that celebrates its storied history and updates it for modern living. The vast living room is the jewel in the crown. Here, play billiards beneath museum-grade frescoes painted by many of the Baroque era's most famous artists, with eye-catching contemporary pieces adorning the walls and elegant furnishings sitting seamlessly alongside ornate original features. Each of the five bedrooms brings its own charm. You'll find three on the main level with soaring 30ft ceilings and two on the upper mezzanine floor that put you at eye level with exquisite gilded mouldings. When staying here, it's easy to forget that the outside world exists, but should you find yourself wanting to explore, Rome's major monuments are a short walk away. There's even a personal concierge on hand to provide personalised recommendations and ensure the overall smooth running of your... stay, from start to finish.
