Crossing Condotti

Rooms

Each of the 5 rooms is named after local addresses, thus Condotti, Babuino, Carrozze, Frattina and Spagna. They’re snug but not cramped, and furnished with flair. There’s a fine mix of antiques, including darkwood chests, marble-topped bedside tables, large oil portraits and unusual silver lamps. Floors are wooden parquet, and all the rooms have beamed wooden ceilings that are typical in older houses in Rome.

The queensize beds are clothed in gleaming white, super soft linen, and have differing headboards in pearly grey fabric or monochrome flock, while Spagna has a dramatic dove-grey and white canopy. Curtains are heavy, romantic drapes caught up in a rope tie, either in pale silver-grey or with ochre stripes.

Bathrooms are decorated in soft-grey tiling with a suede-like softness, and there is a lavish array of L'Occitane toiletries. Spagna, Carrozze and Condotti have bathtubs and handheld rainfall showers, while Frattina and Babuino have rainfall showers (no bathtubs).

More recently, a Junior Suite has been added on the ground floor of the townhouse. We haven't had a chance to see it yet, but it has the added benefits of a private entrance, it's own kitchenette and living area, and a luxurious bathroom with a Turkish hammam.
