VILLA CLARA

Set in the exclusive Parioli neighbourhood of Rome, the Sebastiani designed, five-level home dates back to 1929 and takes full advantage of its prestigious corner location at the top of the Villa Borghese. Views of Borghese can be enjoyed from the private terrace, and of course from the rooftop terrace which offers an open living / dining area plus Jacuzzi - the perfect spot for a relaxing aperitivo after a day exploring the city.

Descending into the villa once more you can marvel at the owners’ vast collection of art and antiques, complemented by geometric shapes and spaces, zoological themes, dramatic ceiling details and clever twists bringing modern and ancient together in surprisingly effective ways. Your guest experience is one of an exceptionally luxurious home, of course, but also the inspiring atmosphere of a gallery - something almost entirely appropriate for a stay in Italy’s eternal city.
