A monumental, solemn and marble-sculpted portal will lead you into the authentic essence of Italy. Crossing the threshold into the Holy Deer San Lorenzo City Lodge, situated directly on Piazza Navona, is like stepping into all the richness of Roman history.
Giorgia and Stefano Barbini, owners of the San Lorenzo lodges, are ambassadors of Italian excellence. In their properties, they’ve captured the essence of the Italian landscape, mountains and sea. Their guests always experience the beating heart of Italy in a highly personal way, whether high up in the Alps or sailing the coasts of Southern Italy on an elite sailing catamaran.
Their third lodge, the Holy Deer San Lorenzo City Lodge, is laid out in the shape of a horseshoe. At the two extremes are the two bedrooms with adjoining baths. One bedroom overlooks the romantic Via dell’Anima and leads into an elegant walk-in closet; the other, the sumptuous Pope’s Room, looks directly onto Piazza Navona. The two secluded rooms are linked to one another through a study, music room, library, lounge, dining room and kitchen. Conceived as a place to gather together and socialise, each of these spaces has been meticulously designed to help guests enjoy the intimacy of a private retreat to the fullest, and to indulge in creative idleness.
Immersing oneself in the history of those who lived within these walls, while still enjoying all the comforts of modern life, is truly marvellous.
