Thanks to the renovation of Palazzo Nainer, designed and built between 1819 and 1821 by Giuseppe Valadier, this Boutique Hotel, the Hotel Piranesi, has been born and is situated on the " rive droite " of the Tiber, in the heart of Rome, close to Piazza del Popolo, in Via del Babuino.
In this ancient street lived well-known poets, writers and artists. Goethe, Salvator Rosa, Trilussa, Poussin and Valadier himself. In 1826 he built his own home at the number 79 where he lived and died.
To-day Via del Babuino is THE STREET for Antiques and Art Galleries, and the very famous names of international fashion are there. The roof-garden overlooks the surrounding rooftops below... in front, the luxuriant gardens of Villa Borghese, on the left...Piazza del Popolo renewed and restored to its ancient splendour... at the back... the former Goethe's house now transformed into a museum... in the distance... the Pincio Terrace. Lunch or ... candle-light dinner await you on our terrace. The Hotel Piranesi offers, during the day, a fitness room and a sauna for your well-being. A meeting-room for your "conventions", followed by a business lunch... and then on foot... through the ancient streets of the Eternal City! |
