Constructed near the banks of the Tiber River, the Roman villa served as both the Malaspina family home, as well as backdrop to high society gatherings where the family entertained diplomats, aristocrats, and prominent cultural figures. Palazzo Dama is named to honor the dignified elegance of the aristocratic women – the dames (or dame in Italian), who once roamed the halls throughout the generations of Malaspina dignitaries. The hotel’s name, in particular, pays homage to Anna Maria Malaspina, an 18th century Marquise who was admired for her refinement and recognized equally for her great many writings and poems as she was for her exuberant, playful and witty spirit.
Offering a free outdoor pool and a garden with lemon trees, Palazzo Dama is set 200 metres from Piazza del Popolo and a 10-minute walk from The Spanish Steps. The hotel has a lounge bar, a restaurant and spacious rooms with free Sky channels and parquet floors. WiFi is free throughout.
