The elegant heart of Rome
Where we are
In the vibrant heart of Rome, where historic streets intertwine with elegant palaces and postcard-perfect views, lies Piazza Barberini, a jewel of history and beauty. Born in the 16th century and transformed during the Baroque era, it owes its name to the powerful Barberini family, who commissioned the majestic Palazzo Barberini, today home to the National Gallery of Ancient Art, guardian of masterpieces by Caravaggio, Raphael, and Titian.
At the very heart of the square stands the breathtaking Triton Fountain, brought to life by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1643. Its mythological figure, blowing with force into a grand shell, is more than an artistic triumph, it is a symbol of vitality and movement, echoing the vibrant soul of Baroque Rome.
Piazza Barberini is a gateway to discovery: a leisurely stroll leads to the Trevi Fountain, the refined elegance of Piazza di Spagna and its chic boutiques, the legendary Via Veneto with its Dolce Vita charm, the Pantheon, and the labyrinth of historic alleys in the city’s center. Even the Colosseum and Roman Forum lie just moments away, making this the perfect starting point to immerse yourself in the full beauty of Rome.
From this square, every street unfolds a new emotion: a hidden masterpiece, a timeless café, a sweeping panoramic view, or a secret alley steeped in centuries of stories. Staying near Piazza Barberini is not just a visit, it is an invitation to live Rome with the city at your feet, to feel the embrace of its art, its history, and its ineffable energy every single day.
