Villa Laetitia
"How did it strike you on arrival?Villa Laetitia exemplifies the epitome of modern Italian style: unashamedly glamorous, a little eclectic with just the right amount of glitz. Owner Anna Fendi Venturini (of the Fendi fashion dynasty) has furnished Villa Laetitia as if it were her own: think potted palms, fur covered stools, and marble busts dotted around the place, because, you know, why not? Nice. What’s the crowd like?Fashion industry heavyweights, beautiful people, and anyone looking for a unique boutique hotel in Rome. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.Each room has its own style. The Anna Deluxe Room is elegant and refreshing, with cool marble tiled floors, big mirrors and airy windows designed to let the light stream in. The room’s white with silver accents, the bed base made from white leather (trust us, it works), the mattress dressed in Frette linen, no less. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Wi-Fi is free, the connection strong. Room service: Worth it?Forget room service; instead, make your way to Villa Laetitia’s Enoteca La Torre, or nip over to the property’s Piccolo Bar for cocktails. Or book in for a cooking course, then host your own private dinner in the ever so glamorous Sala Ozio. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.The staff here can arrange pretty much anything for you: they’ll set you up on a bike tour, bring a cot to your room for your baby, pack or unpack your bags, even arrange a private picnic in Rome’s most beautiful gardens. Bottom line: worth it, and why?Villa Laetitia’s one of the most unique spots to stay in Rome: grand, beautiful, and discreet. Staying here is like a trip into another world, and well worth the journey." - Maresa Manara
