Polarity is a place of juxtapositions. The Madonna and child look across the bedroom at a nude on the opposite wall.

Home truths

    The air conditioning is only in the bedrooms, and it can be a bit noisy when on full blast (we measured 51dB)

    When we visited, the wi-fi was extremely slow

    The house is generally in very good condition but we did find a small hole in the wall above the front door

    Checking in after 8pm will incur an €80 charge

Local guide


About Pincio & Villa Borghese

Just to the north-east of the tourists of Spagna, Pincio and Villa Borghese offer welcome respite from the masses. The affluent neighbourhood revolves around the enormous Borghese Gardens, with elegant landscaping influenced by the English countryside, and more and more Romans are choosing the spacious streets (with plenty of onstreet parking) over the cobbled alleys of the city centre.
