An intimate & luxurious Rome accommodation
The Casa Howard Guest House on Via Sistina is on the second floor (with elevator) of an ancient palazzo. It opened in the year 2002 and was decorated by Tommaso Ziffer, who incidentally also decorated Rome's Hotel de Russie. Our personal touch is in the many ornaments around the house, brought back from our travels: a porcelain monkey hanging from the ceiling light; Chinese dumpling holders used as soap boxes; and fashionable fabrics throughout the house from Paris, London, China, India....
Tommy's room is one of the smallest rooms of the house. It was named so being a copy of Tommy's Ziffer own bedroom in his Paris apartment. Tommaso Ziffer is the famous interior designer of Casa Howard via Sistina, who also designed the very grand Hotel de Russie further down the road. Your queen-sized bed has a canopy in toile de Jouy brought back from Paris. Pass your bed and walk through the heavy taffetas curtains to reach the mosaic bathroom with its stainless-steel sink and mosaic shower.
The very eccentric Zebra room has optical black & white prints on the bed and zebra print on the curtains, deep red floors, and ultra-modern furniture with a 1970's feel. The large floor-to-ceiling double-glazed window gives out on a balcony from where you can enjoy the morning sunshine and below you, the street-life of the Spanish Steps area. The black & white mosaic bathroom has shower & tub.
The last room on the right at the end of the corridor is the Indian room. It is a very colorful and bright room, with Indian furniture such as the wonderful wood carved cabinet at the bottom of your queen-sized bed. To go to your en-suite green & yellow hand made oriental mosaic bathroom with shower, pass through the heavy silk taffetas yellow curtains and the small powder room with its antique chess table. Should you need to relax in the Turkish Hammam, it is just up the stairs.
Pass the bar and newspaper table area, and the library corner and enter, on the left, the American Cousin's room. The room has a truly modern high-tech feel to it: large flat-screen television, shiny black modern furniture, Wi-Fi Internet and a grand king sized bed. Moreover you'll find heavy fabric curtains and bedspread from Paris, a shower and tub in the bathroom and a view on via Sistina, the streets that leads to the top of the Spanish Steps of Rome.
The Flower Room was named as such because everything in the room is covered in flower fabrics, including the walls. After a day walking Rome and the Spanish Steps, you will surely appreciate a nice shower in the room's ensuite green-yellow mosaic bathroom - and should you want a relaxing Turkish bath, the hammam is just upstairs from your room. Before going to sleep in your large queen-sized bed, a last glance at the obelisk at the top of the Spanish Steps should secure wonderful dreams.

We treat our member guests like friends and all is based on trust. There is a Turkish Hammam Bath big enough for 3 people and 5 elegant rooms in this Rome accommodation.
