In the heart of the Eternal City lies an extraordinary scene of flowers, trees, grottos and nymphaea. An enchanting setting where history converses with nature and where a concert of gentle sounds accompanies the serenity of one of the quietest and most sheltered places in Rome.
Created by Giuseppe Valadier at the beginning of the 19th century, our Secret Garden is a “work of art, cultural treasure, architectural and environmental resource” which is what makes it a unique wonder.
Among the illustrious guests who strolled in the Hotel de Russie’s marvelous garden, it was Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau who had the most memorable experience, when visiting in 1917. “We are living in paradise on earth”, wrote Cocteau in a letter to his mother, “The hotel is in a garden that climbs up and looks over Rome. I pick oranges from my window and the sun warms the furniture.”

Today, guests may relive Cocteau’s words when staying in our recently renovated Garden View Rooms and Suites. Bathed in natural light and replete with botanical touches, this special category overlooks our resplendent Secret Garden where, more than 100 years later, the orange trees still scent the air. Impeccably designed by Olga Polizzi, each room reflects the beauty of nature
“The hotel is in a garden that climbs up and looks over Rome.”
