Aldrovandi Villa Borghese - Leading Hotel of the World - Rome, Italy

The stunning hotel Aldrovandi Villa Borghese, Leading Hotel of the World Via Ulisse Aldrovandi 15, Roma


This lovely hotel is in a quieter part of Rome, next to Villa Borghese, a lovely manicured park that is enjoyed by tourists and locals alike. It's a great place to escape Rome's oppressive Summer heat, with its leafy trees. Wallking through the park will take you to the top of the Spanish steps in around 15 minutes, it's a lovely walk through the park, which boast some great historic buildings.

The hotel also offers free shuttle to the Spanish steps every half hour.

At the Aldrovandi hotel they have 3 eating areas. A dedicated breakfast room, that has an exceptional buffett. It includes both hot & cold items. Eggs can be cooked to your liking and ordered with numerous accompliments or just have the scrambled eggs & italian sausages from the bain maries.
Sparking wine is also on offer for that special breakfast. The fruit is fresh with variety and good quality.

The Grill is serves both from a room behind the bar or from the pool area on certain days of the week.
The menu is good and we couldn't fault the food.

One of the master's of haute cuisine Oliver Glowig opened his eponymous restaurant at Adrovandi Villa Borghese. After having been celebrated in Capri, Oliver Glowig arrived on the scene of the eternal city. Chef Oliver Glowig received the recognition of two Michelin stars in 2011 also in Rome. Now he is bringing his talents to Aldronvandi.


There are a number of different styled rooms from your double rooms to junior suites and penthouse suites, depending on your budget. Even the base room is large and has a generous bathroom. The rooms are comfortable, with old world charm.


Our stay was relaxing and stress free away from the hustle of Rome's major tourist areas, yet close enough to walk to if required. The Pool, fitness area and Spa are an added bonus in a major city like Rome. The staff were friendly, polite and very helpful. I would recomend this hotel if you want luxury, and some quiet after a day in Rome with all the hustle & bustle of Rome's never ending visitors.
