Hotel Review
Villa Agrippina Gran Meliá, Rome, Italy
WHAT WE LOVE...
An urban retreat, this historic villa on the edge of the Vatican City is surrounded by lush gardens and has a large outdoor swimming pool and terrace, which is a blissful place to relax in the summer heat of the city. White corridors on the inside, and white rattan furniture on the outside, give the design a calm, minimalist appeal, and the palatial size of the building adds glamour. Many rooms have fabulous views back across Rome or towards St Peter's Basilica and the Vatican City, with some even having large private terraces with jacuzzis. A Clarin's spa offers bespoke facials and massages, while you can enjoy bespoke cocktails in the Amaro bar and delicious Roman cuisine in Ossimoro.
