Residenza B
Architect-designed modern classicism. White walls, warm neutrals, travertine marble, vintage and retro-inspired furniture alongside Italian modernist pieces. Quiet, residential, no-signage exterior. Feels like borrowing a very stylish friend's Roman apartment.
There is no sign on the exterior — the property is inside number 4, second floor (lift available). Look for it.
Why It Matters
Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels selection. One of Rome's smallest and most design-forward B&Bs, renovated entirely by noted Rome architect Stefano Dorata. Every room is individually designed using bespoke artisan pieces. All four rooms overlook the gardens of Palazzo Barberini. No reception desk, no lobby crowd, no tourist-hotel energy.
Four rooms. That's it. Residenza B is about as small as a hotel can get and still feel purposeful rather than accidental. Architect Stefano Dorata took a late 19th-century building on Via XX Settembre and transformed it into something that reads as a very well-appointed private apartment — travertine marble bathrooms, bespoke artisan furniture, underfloor heating, views over the manicured gardens of Palazzo Barberini. Your neighbors are Italy's president at the Quirinale Palace across the road, and the national gallery next door. Hosts Veronica and Camillo Barluzzi run the place with real warmth — they'll sort your restaurant bookings and tell you exactly which cacio e pepe spot suits your mood.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Canopy Room
The room is defined by a bespoke four-poster (canopy) bed handcrafted by artisans from Stefano Dorata's own design — the standout piece in the property. Fine cotton linen, top-end travertine marble bathroom cladding, a 55-inch 4K TV, and all standard room amenities. The go-to pick for honeymooners.
King (180x200cm) · 19 sqmClassic Room
The smallest room at 15 sqm but well-designed enough that it doesn't feel cramped. Artisan-crafted furniture made to Stefano Dorata's specifications, a notably large shower (a genuine surprise for the room size), fine cotton queen bed, and a 49-inch 4K TV. Good entry point to the property.
Queen (160x200cm) · 15 sqm
Grand Deluxe
The largest of the four rooms at 28 sqm. A stone fireplace sits opposite the king bed, flanked by two columns on either side of the window — a deliberate echo of 17th-century Roman palace architecture. There's a circular table surrounded by armchairs, travertine wall tiles in the shower bathroom, and a 55-inch 4K TV. One extra bed can be added, making it suitable for a family of three.
King (190x200cm) · 28 sqmTradition Room
At 18 sqm, elegant and flexible. The king bed can split into two singles — making it the best option for friends travelling together. Features a large walk-in shower, fine cotton linens, a 55-inch 4K TV, and the full standard amenity set. Shares the Palazzo Barberini garden views.
