Villa Spalletti Trivelli
A taste of urban history


Housed in an artfully restored century-old villa on Quirinal Hill, this property is the stuff of local lore: its ample halls and superb library, now recognised by the Ministry of National Heritage and Culture, once played host to literary gatherings for poets, artists and philosophers, all guests of owner Count Spalletti Trivelli‘s wife (their descendants still run the place). Today, the residence comprises 12 well-appointed rooms with original wallpaper, furniture and priceless antiques. A single contemporary element: its opulent, below-ground spa.
