Thanks to the renovation of Palazzo Nainer, designed and built between 1819 and 1821 by Giuseppe Valadier, this " Boutique Hotel" has been born and is situated on the " rive droite " of the Tiber, in the heart of Rome, close to Piazza del Popolo, in Via del Babuino.
In this ancient street lived well-known poets, writers and artists…. Goethe, Salvator Rosa, Trilussa, Poussin and Valadier himself. In 1826 he built his own home at the number 79 where he lived and died. T8day Via del Babuino is THE street for Antiques and Art Galleries, and the very famous names of international fashion are there.
