The prices are fantastic for the level of comfort and style at this late 19th-century palazzo, where the stuccoed ceilings of the bar and dark oils in the sitting room conjure an Old World atmosphere.
Restructured in 2001, the guest rooms have reproduction furnishings in the High Turin style.
There's a gravely garden shaded by palm, banana, and orange trees with a glassed-in verandah for breakfast year-round.
Garden rooms enjoy the most quiet and the best view, and there are several bungalow-like accommodations (pictured to the left) across the garden from the main hotel that offer optimal tranquility.
Manager Francesco Cusato is a nice guy, willing to work a discount if you're staying for a few days.

In January, 2011, Rome began charging a hotel bed tax. This is the city's doing, and sadly it is not a scam.
The following tax rates are per person, per night for all guests over the age of 10 and can be charged for stays of up to 10 days:
So a couple staying three nights in a four-star room would pay an extra €18.
Some hotels have begun folding this tax into their quoted rates; others tack it on when you go to check out, so be prepared.
Planning your day: Rome wasn't built in a day, and you'd be hard-pressed to see it in that brief a time as well. Still, you can cram a lot into just a day or three.
To help you get the most out of your limited time in the Eternal City, here are some perfect itineraries, whether you have one, two, three, or four days to spend in Rome. » Rome itineraries
