Luxe Hotel Giulio Cesare Italy

Originally a Patrician Roman villa built by Count Paterno Solari at the end of the 19th century, the Giulio Cesare was converted into an elegant town-house hotel in 1969 and has been owned and operated by the Pandolfi family since then.

The 80 tastefully-appointed rooms, all with bathrooms featuring tubs/shower, marble tiles and quality design fixtures are furnished in classical style, in an array of warm colors complemented by plush carpets, floor length drapes and crystal chandeliers. All rooms are equipped with minibar, color Satellite TV, direct dial phones, hairdryer, central air conditioning and plug-in for Internet connection.

A full international buffet breakfast is served from 6:30 am to 10:00 am, with an impressive range of hot and cold selections to please the most exacting guest. After a full day in Rome, the overstuffed velvet sofas and armchairs beckon guests to relax with a cup of tea or cocktail in the spacious lounge area furnished in period style, including damask wall dressings, original Louis XVI pieces, antique tapestries from the 1700s and a working marble fireplace. In warmer months, stepping out onto the private patio garden adjacent to the bar, the bustle of the city seems far away. Enjoy a drink or snack in the midst of the lush garden, where the sound of birdsong and the water trickling in the quaint fountain combine to create a calming, relaxing environment in the heart of historic Rome.
