Location
Monti • near the Colosseum
An 85 m² suite set inside an elegant 17th-century Baroque palazzo in the heart of Monti, a short walk from the Roman Forum and the Colosseum. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a private roof garden with open views over Rome’s rooftops, in a home that trades hotel polish for genuine, lived-in character.
SIGNATURE FEATURE
Roof Garden Terrace
The suite’s defining feature is its private garden terrace, looking out over the rooftops with the Colosseum in the near distance. Furnished for outdoor dining and planted with orange trees, it is made for a slow breakfast in the sun or a long evening as the light softens over the city. Guests have had a private chef cook and serve lunch up here for visiting friends; it is that kind of space.
Books in Every Room
The rooms open into each other in a line, so from the table in the library you can see the piano at one end and the kitchen at the other. Every ceiling is original beams hand-painted with vines and flowers, a different color in each room. The apartment belongs to a scientist and art collector and is still full of his things: old maps, astronomical instruments, oil paintings hung where most people would put a headboard, books shelved in every room including the kitchen. Downstairs, the courtyard was a Vatican Museums workshop in the 1800s, where their marble sculpture went to be restored.
The Dining Room
Dinner happens between two walls of books, the piano through one door and the kitchen through the other.
The living room
A tuned grand piano, a stone fireplace, painted beams overhead – Rome can wait until morning.
Master Bedroom
Wake up under a painted ceiling and an old master in a gilt frame.
The kitchen
| Even the kitchen has its shelf of books. Make the coffee, then follow the painted ceilings room to room. |

The Neighborhood
Monti is the oldest rione in Rome and still its most characterful: cobbled lanes, wine bars, and artisan workshops tucked directly behind the Imperial Forums. From the palazzo it is a ten-minute walk to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, with the Trevi Fountain a similar stroll in the other direction. For guests drawn to art, the neighborhood puts the churches and galleries of the center within reach, including the Caravaggio paintings scattered across nearby chapels. It is central without feeling like a tourist corridor.

Our Picks Nearby
Our own favorites, none of them more than fifteen minutes on foot. Anywhere that takes reservations, our concierge will gladly book it for you.
Gelateria
Grezzo Raw Chocolate
A raw pastry shop in Monti where nothing is heated above 42 degrees, on the theory that cacao and nuts hold more of their flavor that way. Vegan chocolate, cakes and gelato, all of it gluten free. The chocolate travels better than the rest.
8 min walk
Vegan
Aromaticus Monti
Half herb nursery, half kitchen, with about a dozen seats among the plants on a Monti side street. Bowls, salads and cold-pressed juices, all vegetarian and vegan. It opens at one, and at that size you may end up sharing a table.
7 min walk
Pizza
Alle Carrette
Roman thin-crust from a wood oven, on a lane in Monti just below the Forum. Order the fritti before anything else: fiori di zucca stuffed with mozzarella and anchovy, and supplì. The pizzas arrive fast and cost very little.
12 min walk
Seafood Dinner
Il Ristorante Rinaldi Al Quirinale
Seafood brought up from the coastal auctions, and a cellar of some 3,500 labels that has earned a Wine Spectator award. Book this one when you want a long dinner rather than a quick one, and let the sommelier lead.
3 min walk
Rooftop bar
Ambrosia Rooftop Restaurant & Bar
Seventh floor of the Hotel Artemide, with an open-air terrace looking across the rooftops toward the domes of the center. Open from late morning to midnight, so it works for a quiet coffee as well as an aperitivo. Book for a table at the edge.
3 min walk
Wine Bar
Ai Tre Scalini
A vine covered wine bar on Via Panisperna, pouring in Monti for well over a century. Boards of cheese and salumi, a long list by the glass, and a crowd that spills into the street by nine. Go early for a table.
6 min walk
Pair Your Stay
These are the experiences that will make your stay truly unforgettable! Everything will be taken care of through TreasureRome, and can be added to any reservation.
Private Residence
Private Stargazing
An astronomer sets up in the roof garden, the Colosseum lit below and the sky read overhead.
Private Access
Santa Maria Maggiore & San Clemente
Monti’s two great basilicas, including the excavated Roman street beneath San Clemente.
Signature Moment
Private Photoshoot
A photographer works the roof garden and the lanes of Monti, with the Colosseum in frame.
Ideal For
- Couples and small families wanting character, minutes from the Colosseum
- Guests drawn to art, history, and a home with a real past
- Music lovers (a tuned grand piano in the living room)
- Slower stays built around the roof garden
- Travelers who want Monti right at the doorstep
