During our recent site inspection at Palazzo Talìa, one of the most interesting aspects was the way the hotel connects several periods of Roman history within a relatively intimate property.
Located in Largo del Nazareno, between the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps, Palazzo Talìa occupies part of the former Collegio Nazareno. From the busy streets of central Rome, guests enter a quieter setting of historic corridors, frescoed rooms and an internal courtyard.
The hotel opened in 2024 following an extensive restoration, but the building’s history goes back much further.

“No Martini, No Party.” George Clooney made the line unforgettable, but in Pessione, a small village just outside Turin, those words become something more than a glamorous slogan. They become a place, a perfume, a story, a ritual. They become Casa Martini.

A UNIQUE DESTINATION 

Slovenia is one of those destinations that quietly surprises you. Small in size yet incredibly rich in experiences, the country combines nature, culture, sustainability, and authenticity in a way that feels genuine rather than constructed for tourism. During my recent short tour, what stood out most was not only the beauty of the landscapes, but also the warmth of the local hospitality and the strong connection Slovenians maintain with their traditions and environment.
