The Pincio Terrace (offering panoramic city views)
The historic Porta Pinciana gateway
Villa Torlonia: An Exotic Escape
Further along Via Nomentana, Villa Torlonia transports you to a lush, tropical setting with palm-lined jogging paths and vibrant flower beds. The easy 15-minute walk from the B&B takes you past the charming, recently renovated Villa Paganini—perfect for a quiet pause by its fountains.
Don’t miss the park’s hidden jewel: the Casina delle Civette (House of Owls), a fairytale-like villa turned museum showcasing stunning Art Nouveau stained glass.

Shady trails perfect for running or cycling
A picturesque lake with rowboats in summer
