The Donna Camilla Savelli in Rome has been given a completely new look.
The property has 94 guest rooms
Located in the Trastevere district, in an ancient 17th-century convent designed by Francesco Borromini in honour of the duchess Savelli, VRetreats' Rome property has undergone a thorough restyling of its 94 rooms and some of the common areas.
Antique arches and ornamental mirrors
The aesthetics and charm of the old Trastevere district inspired the refurbishment of the rooms, some of which are in the former nuns’ lodgings. Common areas like the reception has been enlarged to welcome guests into an open space with a wall decorated with antique-style arches and ornamental mirrors. The latter, as well as the decorative objects in the new bookcase in the St. Augustine room, are inspired by the great vaults of the hall, using its geometric form to create a common thread between the different rooms.
There is all-day dining in The Garden
The floor plan of The Garden bistro bar has also been made over to create a more fluid flow, by using of architectural forms that integrate with the concept behind the entire renovation: the arches with antique mirrors, for example, add depth and luminosity, reflecting the garden inside. The Garden has a new all-day dining service from 11 am to 10 pm which complements that of the Pranzo del Chiostro which has an à la carte menu.
The Orangery has new flooring and furnishings
The Sant'Agostino Room overlooking the Angioletto cloister with its fountain, has also been given a new look with a large wall bookcase and a bench for reading. The Borromini Hall, originally the monastery refectory, returns to its original function as the breakfast room during the colder months. Moving outside, we find Donna Camilla Savelli's Orangery, surrounded by the green citrus grove and with renovated flooring and new furnishings.
