The gardens at the Hotel Villa San Pio in Rome, Italy
A room at the Hotel Villa San Pio in Rome, Italy

Of the three sister hotels on the Aventine Hill (including the Aventino and the pricier San Anselmo), the San Pio is the stylish hideaway.

The Villa San Pio consists of two buildings bridged by a magnolia-shaded garden and solarium. Accommodation decor varies widely, some with tasteful modular furnishings on tile floors, others kitted out in grand 19th century style, all with excellent firm beds.

The choicest rooms are in the structure beyond the gardens, where especially up on the first floor you're most likely to find the best combination of reproduction furnishings, Persian rugs on hardwood floors, painted ceilings, and ultra-mod baths with Jacuzzis (or perhaps a claw-footed tub).

The roof terrace has splendid tranquil views that encompass the Aventine and mountains in the distance but somehow manage to visually ignore the rest of Rome.

The Aventine Hill is an almost preternaturally quiet oasis of villas, leafy gardens, and residential blocks—tucked between the Circus Maximus, the Palatine, and the Baths of Caracalla, yet a world away from the chaos and traffic of Rome all around. Tourists rarely venture here, which is a shame, since its packed with several fine antique churches, some lovely city panoramas, and a few rarely visited ancient sights.
