Via Margutta has long drawn artists and dreamers to its hidden courtyards and ateliers, and this villa sits right in the middle of it. The private garden – a rare find this close to the historic centre – is the heart of the stay: dine beneath an ancient olive tree, slip into the hot tub as the evening quiets down, or simply linger under the canopy as candlelight flickers to life. The Spanish Steps are a four-minute walk away, and the Trevi Fountain is reachable on foot in eleven minutes – Rome at its most iconic, without the hustle following you home.

Local guide
About Spagna
Spagna is, perhaps unsurprisingly, focussed around the eponymous Piazza di Spagna. Along with the Trevi fountain, it’s one of the most visited sights in the entire city. Things weren’t always so auspicious – in the 16th century, the area was Rome’s red light district, but today it’s better known for the vine-covered romance of Via Margutta, home to Gregory Peck's impoverished journalist in Roman Holiday. This is not the place...
