The Villa Cavalleggieri has been established in the premises of a monastery and has been inaugurated at the beginning of the Holy Year 2000. The Genius loci and the charme of tradition are still alive in its ancient walls, and they make this property your "private" haven in Rome - far  away from caos and yet situated in the pulsing heart of the Eternal City. The proximity to St. Peter's Square makes Villa Cavalleggeri a unique home-from-home  for visitors to Rome who want something entirely different, and explains why connoisseurs recommend it to their closest friends. The panoramic terrace gives you a front seat view over St. Peter's Square - some feel that they are at "gates of heaven" on what is the Residenza's real attraction, with its breathtaking view of "the most beautiful square in the Western world" and the Papal Palace, with the mighty dome St. Peter's Basilica towering over it - a truly unique panorama.
