Tucked away near Rome’s illustrious Villa Borghese lies Villa Clara, a luxury historical gem that embodies the grandeur and opulence of a bygone era. Nestled in the heart of the city, this majestic estate recounts tales of its glorious past, when engineer Adolfo Sebastiani envisioned the splendid Quartier Sebastiani. Villa Clara stands as his crowning achievement, an emblem of splendor amidst his various projects.
Though initially entrusted to architect Oriolo Frezzotti, Sebastiani’s quest for perfection led him to Arnoldo Foschini. The outcome? A stunning Greco-Roman-inspired Liberty-style edifice completed in 1929, complemented by a lush Italian garden. This masterpiece soon became the cherished residence of a noble Italian lineage.
In its current incarnation, meticulous restoration has married Villa Clara’s storied architecture with lavish Art Deco interiors. A dazzling expanse of over 1000m2 greets visitors, boasting rich marble, rare amethyst wall panels, and an eclectic art collection, all enveloped within its 1920s façade.
Housing four opulent suites, each is a testament to renowned decorator Jacques Garcia’s affinity for Napoleonic grandiosity. An intricate tapestry of rich fabrics, vintage pieces, and art adorns each space, culminating in a sensory experience of luxury. With elements from eras spanning the Greeks to the contemporary, Villa Clara’s extensive collection stands as a homage to global artistry.
Yet, amidst the splendor of the past, Villa Clara offers an oasis of modern indulgence. Guests can escape to the tranquillity of its traditional hammam or immerse themselves in the Roman-inspired indoor pool. The rooftop terrace, a haven in itself, promises panoramic views of Rome, best savored with a glass of Prosecco at sunset or under a canopy of stars.
Centrally located, the villa places Rome’s iconic landmarks at one’s doorstep, from historic sights to the fashionable Spanish Steps. The pièce de résistance? The rooftop dining experience, set against Rome’s skyline, is perfect for an unforgettable dinner or an elegant soirée. In essence, Villa Clara is not just a stay; it’s an immersion into Rome’s “La Dolce Vita”, blending timeless elegance with contemporary luxury.
