We can hardly find the
words...to make an invitation...to present this little jewel. Our roof-garden overlooks
the surrounding rooftops below... in front, the luxuriant gardens of Villa Borghese, on
the left...Piazza del Popolo renewed and restored to its ancient splendor... at the
back... the former Goethe's house now transformed into a museum... in the distance... the
Pincio Terrace. Lunch or ... candle-light dinner await you on our terrace.

Thanks to the renovation of Palazzo Nainer, designed and built between 1819 and 1821 by
Giuseppe Valadier, this " Boutique Hotel" has been born and is situated on the
" rive droite " of the Tiber, in the heart of Rome, close to Piazza del Popolo,
in Via del Babuino.
In this ancient street lived well-known poets, writers and artists…. Goethe, Salvator
Rosa, Trilussa, Poussin and Valadier himself. In 1826 he built his own home at the number
79 where he lived and died. T8day Via del Babuino is THE STREET for Antiques and Art
Galleries, and the very famous names of international fashion are there. The shopping is
going on through Via Condotti, twined with Bond Street. The other streets are all
reserved for pedestrians and are full of colors and activities.
In the small market in Via Bocca di Leone you find the typical Italian food tastes.
All around the Hotel churches and monuments : on Piazza del Popolo S . Maria del Popolo
and the twin churches at the entrance of the three streets : via del Corso, Via di Ripetta
and Via del Babuino. On Via del Corso two museums and the Goethe's one … at the
bottom Piazza Venezia with the Vittoriano just renewed and now visit able. On the right
the Campidoglio, its museums and on the left the museum of Risorgimento. Behind us the
" Teatro Metropolitan " and its 5 cinema halls ; for theatre , variety and Opera

"Very nice location"
"Hello,
My wife and I just got back from Rome where we stayed at the Hotel Piranesi from 2 May
until 7 May. Our travel agent recommended we select a hotel from your website, which
we did, and she booked it through you.
I can't tell you how pleased we were with the Hotel Piranesi. Our rooms was larger that we
have come to expect in European hotels and the decor and furnishings were impressive.
The hotel was immaculatly clean. The staff was very helpful and accomodating.
Everyone we dealt with, front desk, bellmen, maids and servers made us feel like honored
guests. The staff was helpful in arranging day tours and dinner
reservations. The included breakfast was top notch.
Another huge plus for us was the location. Right off the Piazza del Popolo and close to a
metro station, it was easy to get to from anywhere. We were walking distance to the
Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, shopping and much
more.
I would recommend this wonderful 32 room hotel to anyone."
"Hotel Piranesi was completely charming and in a fabulous location. We managed to make good use of every inch of this small and elegant hotel, from the scenic, enchanting, private garden rooftop, to the delightful breakfast room. We would highly recommend this Hotel." 6/09
"Highly recommend; traditional hotel rooms, staff very friendly and extremely helpful, fabulous breakfast, 6th floor garden roof deck with nice view and a breeze - spent time up there in late afternoon. A real plus to have roof deck. Great location." 7-09
"The Honeymoon was absolutely incredible!!! We loved everything and don't even know where to begin with this email. Hotel Piranesi in Rome was fabulous. The location was absolutely perfect and it was super easy to navigate to all of the places we wanted to see!! The staff was so great. They were helpful...gave us fun ideas that we didn't even think of.... I could go on and on. It was great!! We ate at great places... oh man are we in love with the Italian cooking and the coffee!!" 9-09
"We had the best
time! The Piranesi was the perfect hotel for us and the staff could not have been
nicer. You should have seen the "balcony" - it was a real terrace..... the
porter who took us to our room apologized at how small our room was and quickly explained
that the "very special terrace" took some of the room space..... WOW! It
was worth every lost square foot of the room! I would highly recommend this hotel to other
clients. There was not a noise problem (even though the THRONGS of people outside
would make one think they were on Bourbon St during Mardi Gras) It was a great
location for everything we wanted to see and do. THANK YOU for not putting us
anywhere near the base of the Spanish Steps! The crowd there was enormous all day.
