A noble legacy from Florence to Rome

The Borgia Heritage

The Borgia family (originally Borja in Spanish) was one of the most powerful and controversial families of the Italian Renaissance. Originating from Spain, they rose to prominence in Italy during the 15th century, reaching their peak with the election of Alfonso Borgia as Pope Callixtus III (1455–1458) and, more famously, Rodrigo Borgia, who became Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503).

Under Alexander VI, the Borgias became well-known (and feared) for their political ambition, strategic marriages, and use of ecclesiastical power to strengthen their influence. His children, Cesare Borgia and Lucrezia Borgia, played key roles in Italy’s political landscape, forming alliances and commanding armies in a time of shifting power.

An Eye for Elegance

The tradition of art, architecture, and hospitality runs deep within the Borgia lineage. From frescoed salons in Renaissance palaces to the timeless charm of Italian villas, the family has always cherished spaces that tell stories.

Each detail within our properties — from antique furnishings to architectural elements — evokes the spirit of noble Italian homes. Guests today experience not just comfort, but the atmosphere of a historic home passed down through generations.

Today’s Hospitality, Rooted in the Past

Our residences in Florence, Central Rome, and the Roman countryside reflect the same attention to detail and respect for history. Whether nestled in a quiet street near Piazza di Spagna or in the heart of Renaissance Florence, every apartment and room has a story — and a soul.
