Book Villa Spalletti Trivelli. It runs $571 cheaper a night, rates slightly higher with guests, and comes with a spa, gym and hot tub that Vilòn simply does not have. Vilòn's edge is a smarter address near the Spanish Steps and pet-friendliness, plus one more star, but at this price that is a thin trade for the wellness facilities you lose.
A former private villa near the Quirinale gardens, run more like a small aristocratic house than a hotel: eleven rooms furnished with a mix of antiques and contemporary pieces, gilt mirrors next to plain modern sofas, parquet floors, and a library with a fireplace that guests treat as their own sitting room. Breakfast is served on a garden terrace, which is rare for central Rome and does a lot of the atmospheric work here. It draws people who want quiet, discretion and a garden rather than a scene.
Best for travellers who want a quiet, garden-facing retreat with proper spa and gym facilities, away from the crowds.
Vilòn occupies a former seventeenth-century convent and papal residence tucked between the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo, its rooms done in a pared-back, contemporary palette of soft greys, walnut and brass against the old stone shell, with several rooms opening onto small private terraces. The restaurant and bar have become a genuine local draw, not just a hotel amenity, with the kind of low-lit, well-dressed evening crowd that comes for dinner as much as to stay. It suits guests who want boutique intimacy with a design-forward edge and a serious food and drink programme.
Best for design-conscious travellers who want a fashionable address, a strong restaurant and terraces, and don't mind paying for it.
Vilòn, the pricier of the two, has nothing on the facility list that Villa Spalletti Trivelli lacks except being pet-friendly; what you actually give up by choosing the cheaper villa is the more fashionable shopping-district address, not any wellness or dining facility.
Villa Spalletti Trivelli is the more beautiful place to actually spend time in, because its garden, library and spa give it the feel of a private house rather than a well-decorated hotel room block.

“Super cool experience”
Super cool, antique and very well kept. You feel like you are inside someone’s home with all the furniture , clocks and photos. Warm staff. Great facilities at the roof top terrace. You’re in the centre so can walk anywhere and the food was amazing!
It is pricey. The room had a strong “old smell” but you get used to it.
“Lovely and calm boutique hotel in central Rome.”
I chose Villa Spalletti Trivelli for my initial days in Italy as a calm retreat where I could be cosy and comfortable while dealing with jetlag caused by a 9-hour time difference, and it was very good for this. The Renaissance tapestries hanging in the main rooms were spectacular, and the public rooms were spacious and relaxed, as in a beautiful country house. Lovely open drinks bar every evening and free mini-bar i
There was one day during my stay when the public areas and garden were unavailable to me in the evening due to a party for the Peruvian embassy, and as Villa Spalletti Trivelli is only a block from the presidential palace and other important buildings of government, I suppose this sort of thing can be expected. I was

“Perfect stay”
Nothing under the control of the hotel unfortunately but the street is really really dirty around the small market location. Smells awful esp. with high temperature and heatwave.
