Wonderful Place
I can't say enough about our visit. First, our host Hal. What a great guy. He met us upon arrival, arranged transportation back to airport upon departure, and I enjoyed our conversations with him during our stay. The apartment is large and luxurious, and located in a very nice part of town right next door to the Villa Borghese Gardens (which has a very nice and quaint zoo). My wife and I had a great time in Rome and enjoyed our stay. Thanks Hal !!

Beautiful apt in Rome
Best apt of our entire 6 weeks in Europe. Great location in an excellent neighbourhood. Hal was a delight to deal with & the beautiful ground floor apt had everything we could need. Also, a delightful private patio right outside the front door. Can't say enough about how wonderful our stay in Rome was. If we make it back to Rome, we wîll definitely stay here again. 😊

Excellent location and great host!
We loved our stay at The Palm House! It’s a beautiful private location with a lovely garden and patio. We could walk right into the Borghese gardens and museum. Easy walk to many landmarks. Hal helped orient us to the neighborhood and left us with maps, bus schedules and restaurant recommendations. Lots of space in the apartment and Hal had many nice extra touches for guests. A great host, highly recommend staying at this property!

Beautiful apartment and excellent host.
We had a wonderful stay at 9 via Nicolò Porpora. The apartment is lovely and the host, Hal MacMillan, graciously introduced us to the neighborhood. Having the beautiful Giardino Borghese so close and excellent restaurants, especially the Rossini's, made the stay perfect for us. I hope to return! Carol and Paul

Get away in Rome
My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. The property is lovely, the neighborhood is excellent and Hal is charming to work with. The apartment is well appointed, the best part is the lovely private patio. This property is close to the Villa Borghese and there is a lovely, large park for strolling, running etc. It is about a mile to the Spanish steps. This is a quiet upscale neighborhood away from the chaos of top attractions. it is not the easiest to get to everything (we used cabs but it is about 1.5 -2 miles from Coloseum/Vatican but there are close metro and bus stations. If you want to just relax in a safe, quiet area of Rome, stroll to the local taverna for dinner and have coffee at leisurely pace, this place is perfect. Would love to stay again.

5 day stay in Rome
Well located in a lovely, quiet and safe neighbourhood. A few minutes from the beautiful Villa Borgheze and close to bus transport to Termini. The apartment was everything we hoped for. Spacious and beautifully decorated. We loved having breakfast in the outdoor space each morning. The security was amazing - no possibility of a break in while we were out exploring Rome. Thank you Hal for helping us to have a wonderful Rome experience.

Perfect Stay in Rome
We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay again if and when we make it back to Rome. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, clean and well appointed. Hal was super communicative and helpful and even gave us a wonderful recommendation for nearby food that we fell in love with and went to each day! This is a more residential quiet part of Rome which we loved. It is still within walking distance of all the main attractions. The neighborhood is beautiful and it felt like spending a week living as a local. Can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic large apartment in a great location
This is a fantastic large beautiful apartment in a great area. So many options with bus and tram routes so close. Hal the owner was so helpful, from the moment we commenced the booking until we left after our stay. Hal recommended some local restaurants which were very good and even took the time to book one for my husband and myself for a very special night . The location to the Borghese gardens also allows you to walk to some of Romes famous sites.

Wonderful stay
The apartment is great, in a good location away from tourists, and the owner, Hal, provides first rate service. We could have easily stayed much longer. Hal has thought of everything from an arrival orientation to morning espresso from the mini espresso maker. The location next to Villa Borghese can't be beat, is quiet, and can easily get to all of the sights. This was our second trip to Rome, and we would certainly stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Raniero Paulucci

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Raniero, the proud owner of Palm House 1. As a marquis with noble origins, I have dedicated my life to the historic Palazzo Paulucci, deeply immersed in the beauty, history, and cultural richness of Rome. I also had the opportunity to study for five years in New York, an experience that broadened my perspective and deepened my appreciation for hospitality, design, and international living.

I'm passionate about sharing my love for this extraordinary city with guests from around the world. With a lifetime of stories rooted in Rome’s ancient streets and vibrant atmosphere, I look forward to making your stay in Palm House 2—a newly renovated, private, and refined apartment—as special and memorable as the Eternal City itself.

Why they chose this property

I chose this property primarily for its exceptional location—ideally positioned near the heart of Rome's antique center, yet neatly tucked away from the hustle and bustle that characterizes such historic areas. For someone familiar with New York City, I often compare it to living on the Upper East Side with Central Park right at your doorstep.

In this distinguished neighborhood, the typical New York brownstones are replaced by stately one-family mansions, many of which now serve as embassies, adding a layer of international prestige and historical charm. Instead of Central Park, we are graced with the expansive and beautiful Villa Borghese park. This sprawling green oasis houses not just lush landscapes but also renowned cultural treasures like the Borghese Museum and a delightful zoo, offering a perfect blend of nature and culture.

The serenity of this area provides a stark contrast to the vibrant energy of the city center. Just a leisurely 25-minute walk across Villa Borghese park can transport you to the bustling antique center, where history and modernity converge. This unique combination of accessibility, tranquility, and rich cultural surroundings makes living here truly special. It's an enclave of peace and elegance right in the midst of Rome’s dynamic rhythm.

What makes this property unique

The standout feature of "Palm House 1" is its unparalleled privacy and tranquility—a rare find in such a central location in Rome. This apartment is uniquely designed to ensure complete seclusion and relaxation. It is perhaps the only unit in the area that offers a fully private experience, with a remote-controlled entrance gate that opens to its own dedicated car park, an enchanting garden, and a beautifully furnished patio exclusively for your use.

Adding to its uniqueness, I reside in the same building. This proximity allows me to provide immediate assistance and ensure that all your needs are promptly met, offering a personalized touch that can often be missing in vacation rentals. Whether you need local recommendations or any help regarding the apartment, I am readily available to ensure your stay is comfortable and hassle-free. This combination of personal attention and private, luxurious living space makes "Palm House 1" truly exceptional in the heart of Rome. The ultimate charm of "Palm House 1" is further enhanced by its private patio, an exclusive retreat perfect for dining al fresco, enjoying aperitifs, or simply relaxing under the Roman sky. This secluded outdoor space allows you to savor meals, drinks, and the delightful Roman atmosphere in complete privacy. Whether you're toasting to a special occasion or unwinding after a day of exploration, the patio offers a serene setting to enjoy the best of Rome without ever leaving the comfort of your home.
