Il Palazzetto
Style Wine-lovers' world
Setting A stagger from the Spanish Steps
This island of serenity and elegance lies in the heart of the Roman tourist beast, only a few short metres from the Spanish Steps. In fact, the view from the terrace of Rome's Il Palazzetto hotel onto the 18th-century landmark is absurdly perfect. The private spaces are quiet and airy, lulling the world away. King-size beds are swathed in voluptuous yet unisex fabrics, and the marble bathrooms, which seem demure, are, upon inspection, quite naughty.

Our favourite rooms
The Black Room at the top of the hotel. Three of the four rooms at this boutique hotel in Rome come with a view of the Spanish Steps.
Packing tips
Rosary beads; a pick and shovel to unearth ancient artefacts a few metres down (the reason Rome's metro has never been completed).
Also
The Wine Academy at Il Palazzetto runs wine courses and private wine tastings as well as guided tours to Italian vineyards. All must be booked in advance.
From the Guestbook…
Wonderful hotel in possibly the most dreamy Roman location of them all, bang on the Spanish Steps. Lots of fantastic restaurants around the area but above all it is worth walking 1...
