Loredana Winter (co-owner) was born and raised in the Eternal City. Her parents have been in the antiques business for over 50 years. Giampiero, Loredana’s brother, is now running the antiques business.

As a Roman for almost half a lifetime, it has been very easy for her to have access to all the baroque art work. Her grandma used to take her for a tour of the baroque churches around the Piazza Navona area. Grandma had her favorite and she still tells Loredana about the beauty of these churches: the Chiesa del Gesu’ and the Chiesa di Maria Maddalena, which are baroque masterworks.

Her Grandma also used to take her to the fresh produce market in Campo di Fiori to buy fresh roman fave beans and pizza bianca in the Forno on the Piazza. That was her weekly treat. A good alternative were fresh cornetti, always from the forno.

This is an idea of how Romans live in their city and love their city: looking at the little daily things, surrounded by the beauty of the architecture. All this can really make you a happy person. This life-style is still very true and alive from Loredana’s childhood experiences. Loredana and her family work hard to give their guests the real taste of Rome.

Having such a simple, but real genuine “Roman” life, Loredana started their business several years ago. It was in 2000 that Loredana and her husband bought the exclusive property that they just opened to the public. They put in their work and followed these aspects: art, freshness and simplicity. With her husband’s help experience, they added what they did not have before to their business: professionalism, organization, and the best modern amenities.
            
          This business, for them, is like a beautiful car with a perfect engine inside. They are trying to make their guests happy and comfortable every day of their stay with simple, real things, but very efficient.
