After a three-train journey complete with screaming children and a midafternoon transfer in Italy s summer heat, I couldn t have asked for a better place to land than the Hotel Vilon.
Just a quick taxi ride from Rome s main train station, the 18-room mansion-turned-boutique hotel is tucked away on a quiet side street, within easy walking distance of key sites in the city s historical center.
But after getting settled in what still feels more like an exclusive art-filled residence than a hotel, with rooms and terraces overlooking the private gardens of the Palazzo Borghese, all I could think was, who would want to leave?
