After a full day in Rome, the overstuffed sofas and armchairs in the lounge area embellished with antique tapestries and a working marble fireplace are an ideal place to relax with a cup of tea or cocktail. In the warmer months, stepping out onto the private patio garden adjacent to the bar, the bustle of the city seems far away. Enjoy a drink or snack in the midst of the lush garden where the sound of birdsong and the flowing water in the fountain combine to create a calming, relaxing environment in the heart of historic Rome.
