Less hotel, more private Roman apartment: Casa Montani occupies the third floor of a 19th-century palazzo overlooking the Piazza del Popolo. Its nine rooms are furnished with Frette sheets, Chelini furnishings, silk quilts by Tebro, Ligurian slate bathrooms, lacquered desks, and parquet floors, completing the picture. The overall effect is intimate and personal, more borrowed flat, but a quietly luxurious one. Breakfast arrives to your room each morning. The Spanish Steps are ten minutes on foot, the metro directly below. Rome is entirely at your door.
