Villa Della Fonte

A lovely terracotta-hued, ivy-shrouded gem in a 17th-century townhouse, Villa della Fonte is precisely what Rome's la dolce vita is about. Five rooms with basic decor, some with original red brick and wood-beam ceilings, are comfortable. The crowning glory is the trio of rooftop gardens, strewn with sun lounges, potted pomegranate trees and fragrant citrus plants.
