The apartments and suites are located in Palazzo Pierret, one of the most famous historic buildings in Rome. Declared a national monument of high artistic and historic value by the Ministry of the Cultural Heritage, it stretches from Piazza di Spagna, where the facade is adjacent to the Fontana della Barcaccia designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and the Piazza Trinita' dei Monti, flanking on its left side the fantastic Spanish Steps designed at the beginning of the 18th century by Francesco De Sanctis, one of the most famous architects of his time, at the request of the French government. |
Palazzo Pierret can be considered one of the world's most important historic buildings. The first mention of Palazzo Pierret dates back to the end of the 16th century. The maps of that time, as well as the paintings and engravings of the slopes of Trinitą dei Monti, a place of particular beauty after the inauguration of the church of the same name in 1585, depict the form and decorations of the palace with notable precision. |
During the following century the entire district became internationally famous as a great tourist centre in Rome and in 1647 it became the seat of the Spanish Embassy, giving the square its current name. In 1726, the year in which the superb Scalinata di Trinitą dei Monti, or Spanish Steps, designed by De Sanctis were built, the building underwent its first consistent transformation and took on the aspect, along with the adjacent buildings, of the new bourgeois fashionable residences. |
