Casa Montani

A luxe guesthouse just a stone’s throw from the Porta del Popolo, the old Roman gateway, and Villa Borghese park, Casa Montani has the atmosphere of a welcoming home. Located on the 3rd floor of a 19th-century palazzo that's been in owner-manager Giuseppe Montani’s family since 1916, the rooms display a great deal of character and love. Family heirlooms sit within spaces designed by architect Liliana Sciacca to showcase local craftsmanship, joined by original artworks by Sicilian artist Beppe Butera.

With warm, attentive service led by Giuseppe himself, and a location close to many of Rome’s most recognisable cultural landmarks, this is an ideal boutique retreat.

A tasty continental breakfast is served in your room every morning, so you can enjoy a lazy start to the day. There's no restaurant on-site, but there are several excellent eateries close to the hotel. Dal Bolognese is a high-end option, while those looking for a more traditional experience may enjoy Edy.

The bedrooms are individually decorated, and feature family antiques that bring personality to the spaces. All rooms have wooden floors and king-size beds; some have a separate lounge area, others a bathtub. The majority have views out to the streets of Rome; one has vistas to an inner courtyard.

The Porta del Popolo is directly across from the hotel, and the imposing Bernini-designed gateway makes for an appropriate first stop on any tour of Rome, once being the main entrance to the city. The Borghese Gallery is a 25-minute walk away, and houses works by Caravaggio and Bernini. The Vatican City is a 40-minute walk, and the guest house is 20 minutes from the Trevi Fountain and 30 from the Colosseum.

The helpful team are happy to help you get the most out of your visit, including arranging museum tickets or treatments in nearby spas.
