In the heart of Rome, Villa Spalletti Trivelli is unique among the historic residences: a discreet and intimate luxury villa hotel, elegant and refined drawing rooms furnished with genuine antiques, exclusive wellness centre, sumptuous rooms with every comfort.

Over 100 years of history and culture:

Gabriella Rasponi, widow of Count Venceslao Spalletti Trivelli, Senator of the Kingdom of Italy, niece of Gioacchino Murat and Carolina Bonaparte (Napoleon's sister), purchased the land across from the gardens of the Quirinal Palace, where the house of Tito Pomponio Attico, editor and friend of Cicero, once stood. She entrusted the task of building Villa Spalletti Trivelli to Architect Domenico Avenali (who availed of expert artists and artisans, like Edoardo Gioja).

Thanks to the vision of Countess Rasponi, President of the National Council of Italian Women, Villa Spalletti Trivelli became an important political and cultural meeting place. Every Thursday afternoon, the influential figures of the time frequented the villa’s drawing rooms. This included the likes of Romualdo Bonfaldini, Sidney Sonnino and Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel Prize winner in Literature in 1913.

In the early 1930s, Cesare Spalletti Trivelli inherited the historic residence in downtown Rome from his mother where he would then live with his wife, Countess Guendalina Cavazzi della Somaglia. Respectively made a Gentleman and Lady of the Court of Queen Marie José of Belgium (wife of Umberto II of Savoia, the last King of Italy), the count and countess would then leave the villa to their son, Piero, a sensitive writer and refined poet.

Villa Spalletti Trivelli is situated on one of the original Seven Hills of Rome, the Quirinale, and is steps from Piazza del Quirinale and just minutes from the Fountain of Trevi. The hotel is in an ideal position for visiting Rome's stunning historical sites as well as the elegant shopping districts of Via del Corso and Via Condotti, and public offices such as the Ministry of the Interior, the Constitutional Court and others.

Highlights & Activities:

• Wellness center: A place of tranquillity away from the urban rush

Our aim at the Villa Spalletti Trivelli Wellness Centre is to create a world where our guests can relax and enjoy an environment of total calm, peace and tranquillity, whilst enjoying treatments steeped in as much history as the villa itself. The wellness centre is a luxury retreat, and yet is right in the historic centre of Rome. Our system of recovery is for mind and body and follows a holistic approach to your health. Its core concept is that the key to a healthy mind and body is to establish, and then maintain, a balance of energies.

In our increasingly busy and stressful lives it is now more important than ever to take small moments for ourselves, evoking the feeling of a stress free environment. Perhaps this is the most important area to focus on, which most of us tend to neglect. However, it is never too late to start. Our spacious and elegant wellness centre delights the senses with its tepidarium, steam room and relaxation room. Villa Spalletti Trivelli also offers its guests a fully equipped fitness area open 24-hours a day, with a personal trainer available on request.
