The Aventine Hill is actually two hills, divided by a steep cleft, which you can’t really see from Rome, so when it became Rome’s seventh hill it went onto the list as one. Green, elegant and residential, this is a beautiful part of Rome, packed with interesting architecture, grand palaces and interesting churches. The best hotels near the Aventine Hill are also an elegant collection, offering peace in a busy city.
Rome’s Rose Garden is one of the Aventine Hill’s highlights, but the basilica Santa Sabrina, which is the oldest Roman basilica in Rome, is also worth visiting. But what many visitors come to see is the Knights of Malta keyhole in the Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta, a leafy doorway and photo opportunity, because the view allows you to see all the way to the dome of St. Peter’s and The Vatican.
San Anselmo's Baroque flamboyance and lavish drapery will transport you back in time to another era. Enjoy breakfasts in the beautifully tended garden to set you up wonderfully for the day.
The Hotel Villa San Pio is an elegant, 78 room hotel with Baroque-inspired interiors, impressive gardens and indulgent breakfasts. Expect rich fabrics and a regal air.
The Corner hotel is a beautiful Art Nouveau townhouse on Viale Aventino, the main road that connects Piazza di Porta Capena and Piazza Albania. Well-located for exploring the sights, it sits just outside of the busiest tourist areas. Beautifully restored to retain many original features, The Corner has oak herringbone flooring and marble fireplaces, and is split over three floors, accessible via a lift. The hotel's ten rooms have a pared-back feel in spite of the rich colour palettes.
