In the heart of the historical Monti district of the city of Rome, lies the artistic house Casa Monti designed by Laura Gonzalez in collaboration with Atelier 27. Celebrating art in all its forms, this hotel blends with its surrounding beauties to let its guests breathe the true Roman atmosphere. Discover the most sophisticated interiors, dotted with frescoed ceilings, mosaics on walls and much more.
Casa Monti finds its place in Monti district, where rows of craft workshops, small independent shops and art galleries blossom gently along the streets. The 5-star hotel, dotted with poetic frescoes, antiques, Italian craftsmanship and commissioned works, is the brainchild of French interior designer Laura Gonzalez in collaboration with Atelier 27, who selected from Artemest some decor items specifically for this project.
All of the works you see here evoke the spirit of an artist’s workshop or studio.
Bathed in bohemian charm and conceived to be ‘the Home of the Artist’, this magnificent hotel celebrates art in all its forms in the timeless city of Rome. From its artistic 18th century façade, reminiscent of the ancient noble houses, to the romantic views above the rooftops at sunset, Casa Monti manifests beauty in every corner. Discover the enchantment of la Città Eterna, reflected within the walls of this glorious atelier-like hotel.
The profusion of creativity and passion coming from the immediate surroundings echoes within the hotel’s walls, establishing deep ties with the Roman spirit of la dolce vita and the typical local culture. As you step into the lobby, Italian muses and myths appear to you, together with two large contemporary amphorae by Filadelfio Todaro and Greco-Roman women’s busts sculpted in plaster by Marina Mankarios. The more you enter the building the more you will bump into fascinating objects: colorful vases, antique boxes, allegorical candle holders, bookends covered with birds, hand-painted ceramic biscuit jars.
Romans cultivate their interiors, they create meticulous universes, layering on creative references. That’s how I envisaged Casa Monti, imbued with an intimate atmosphere like a Roman home, open onto the neighbourhood life.
While wandering around the hotel’s multiple spaces, you will certainly notice, just above your head, the beautifully painted frescoes portraying cloud-filled skies. These masterpieces were made by an Italian décor painting workshop. The artisans were demanded to use faded colors and soft tones, with the aim of achieving a patina effect that would place the drawings in the foreground. This technique is usually used to give the impression that a fresco has always been there.
Your stay at Casa Monti will feel like home. Embark on a journey into the elegant world of art, by discovering the hotel’s rooms and suites, all decorated with unique design items inspired by the theme of travel and memory. Be surrounded by beautiful interiors, embellished with clay pieces, antique busts, slices of Roman life sketched by Maëlys Pommaret, stunning illustrations by Paola Sorrentino and Elena Rucli, and refined ceramics by artist Florence Bamberger.
At Casa Monti, even the ground beneath your feet holds a story to tell. A variety of materials, pattern and color combinations features different areas of the building, with the aim of mimicking the original paving of ancient Roman palaces. Another reference to the Roman architecture is embodied by the presence of mosaics scattered here and there. On bathrooms’ walls above each bathtub, a micro-mosaic portraying a sparrow taking flight was inserted. Between the restaurant and the bar lies the patio, an ode to the Italian piazza lifestyle. Complete with fountain and walls draped in greenery, it serves as a quiet retreat throughout the day: for breakfast, a caffè, a quick bite or refreshing drink.
When outside the light takes on a golden hue, the rooftop is the perfect place to meet up for an aperitivo. From here, the view upon Rome looks never the same two nights in a row. Seated at the bar, your head in the clouds, be enchanted by the warm atmosphere all around you.
