Via del Babuino

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.
During the day a fitness room and a sauna for your well-being.
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. Today 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
