Buonanotte Garibaldi, Trastevere, Rome, Italy - Explore & Book
"Buonanotte Garibaldi feels like you’ve been invited to stay at an artist’s mansion. Designer and artist Luisa Longo’s beautiful 1960s villa is set around a terracotta-paved courtyard that’s filled with orange and tangerine trees and shaded by magnolia. There are only three guest rooms: stylish, sophisticated and full of works of art. In reception, a petal-like silk top adorns a tailor’s dummy and there’s a floor-to-ceiling organza painting pressed between plexiglass. The luxurious sitting room has three sets of tall French windows, edged by long pale-silk curtains. There’s a piano, two long sofas, rich rugs on the floor, paintings, and sculptures. Beautiful art books pack several long bookshelves. Here you can sit and read, and be served with drinks and homemade biscuits by the smiling staff. As for Trastevere, it's Rome’s most charming district, all ochre-and-orange 17th-century buildings, tangled ivy, narrow cobbled lanes and inspiring piazzas. You're midway between the Vatican and the Colosseum (20-30 minutes' walk from either), and just 15 from Piazza Navona and the Pantheon on the opposite bank.
