Designer interiors and timeless Italian hospitality in this Roman retreat beside Palazzo Borghese. When it comes to a city break in Rome- Hotel Vilon offers the best of both worlds. It may be a few streets and gentle walk from world-famous sights- including the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps- yet every inch of this boutique retreat spells calm. Relish lunch in the modern bistro that serves classic Italian fare. Linger over coffee in the lounge- flooded with light thanks to the original mansion house windows. Or revive cocktail hour out on the private hotel courtyard. Just be sure to seek out the best angle on the celebrated Borghese secret gardens too - Hotel and Palazzo Vilon has a privileged position overlooking this beauty spot. Depending on which bedroom you book- you may even have your own view of them. Some rooms offer your own terrace- while all promise chic decor that instantly invites you to rest. Think marble bathrooms- comfy velvet furnishings and elegant works of art perfectly placed - all hallmarks of architect and designer Paola Bonfini. Hotel and Palazzo Vilon is more than just a pretty face- though. This modern hotel prides itself on personalised service- grounded in old-fashioned Italian hospitality. Hotel Vilon is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
