A Family affair
Our Story
Burghesius is led by sister Lavinia and brother Gregorio Borghese. Starting a business with a sibling might seem bold — but for us, it felt natural. Together, we set out to create something genuinely different: a new standard of luxury. From Rome, to Tuscany, and beyond.
With years of experience in hospitality and property management, we understood one thing clearly: the modern traveller seeks more than a place to stay. They seek a feeling, a rhythm, a home that blends comfort, character, and discretion. And that’s exactly what Burghesius delivers.
Truly experiencing the city requires time. The city’s magic unfolds slowly — in the sunlit streets, the quiet corners of piazzas, and the rhythm of daily life.
A family affair · La Dolce vita · Authenticity · Discretion · Timeless Elegance · Quiet Luxury · Sense of Place ·
Where homes feel like the Dolce Vita. The Burghesius standard of hospitality.
We asked ourselves: why not bring the attentiveness and refinement of a hotel into the intimacy of private homes? Homes where every detail — from linens and lighting to bespoke concierge recommendations — is curated to create an effortless, luxurious stay.
Rome is the embodiment of the Dolce Vita, a life of elegance, charm, and refined spontaneity. At Burghesius, we bring this spirit to every residence: carefully chosen homes, thoughtfully designed interiors, and insider knowledge that transforms a visit into a memory that lingers long after you leave.
The name Burghesius, the Latin form of our family name, embodies this philosophy: timeless elegance, deep roots, and a subtle connection to the stories and streets of Rome.
