Why guests love itKeen walkers on a slower Roman trip, a retired pair settled on Relais Villa Borghese so mornings could begin with a stroll through the Villa Borghese park nearby. Afternoons ended on the rooftop terrace, a quiet, unpretentious space where they sat with a book as the light faded over the neighborhood. The renovated rooms felt fresh, and metro and train connections made day trips simple. Travelers wanting a cocktail list or big landmark views should look elsewhere; this one is about peace.
