Aldrovandi Villa Borghese

Family-run urban retreat with heart

This grand, 19th-century ivory villa rests in a peaceful residential area of the city. Sheathed in marble with dripping chandeliers, this is an independent, family-run property only recently refurbished. A former convent with its own private park, outdoor heated pool and fine-dining garden, this 108-key retreat is an elegant oasis where guests can relax in a soothing atmosphere at the heart of the city. A La Mer Spa and two-Michelin-starred restaurant by Oliver Glowing adds to the grandeur of the property.
