Up a quiet side street just off the Piazza Navona, and almost hidden by a charming cascade of ivy, the Hotel Raphaël is an aesthetic treasure in the heart of Rome. Inside, the hotel is a veritable art gallery – the owner's personal collection of valuable antiques and paintings is displayed, including a unique and priceless collection of original Pablo Picasso ceramic jugs and plates, which are on view in the restaurant and the elegant lobby. Seated atop the fabulous roof terrace, savour the view of the orange sunlight bathing the ancient buildings of Rome in every direction around you. The richness of the colours heightens your thirst and is only quenched when you reach for your cool glass of fresh Italian wine.
