For guests of Villa Glori

Little London, made by hand

Six hands-on experiences chosen for guests of Villa Glori, each a short taxi ride away in Campo Marzio, Ponte, Regola and the heart of Rome.

The pink-fronted facade of Hotel Villa Glori at dusk, with a warmly lit entrance framed by palms and the hotel sign beside it.

A quiet paved courtyard lined with potted palms and climbing plants, with soft-coloured Roman buildings on both sides.

A quiet corner of Rome, and a chance to slow down

Villa Glori is an elegant, intimate early 20th-century house in the Flaminio district, where time seems to have stopped. Its 52 rooms are made for unhurried moments, and the same spirit lives in making something with your own hands. Alongside local makers, you can shape leather, paint, arrange flowers or cook, and bring a piece of Rome back with you.
