An Editorial Series by Altamura Distilleries

BEYOND THE PLACE

Where Rome
slows down.

There is a different rhythm here. Mornings begin quietly beneath the trees of the Secret Garden, afternoons drift through hidden courtyards and evenings naturally gather around the bar. It is a place where every space invites you to stay a little longer, allowing the city to unfold at its own pace.

A PLACE OF ENCOUNTERS

Connected by
the same spirit.

Some guests have travelled across the world, others have simply crossed the city. Conversations begin over an aperitivo, continue through dinner and often last well into the evening. At Hotel de Russie, every encounter feels unforced, as though everyone has always belonged in the same room.

THE STORY

From aperitivo
to after dark.

As daylight softens across the garden, glasses are raised, conversations become lighter and the atmosphere quietly transforms. What begins as a simple drink becomes part of a longer evening, shaped by shared moments rather than schedules.

THE MOMENT

The beauty
of staying.

There is no need to rush. Whether seated beneath the trees, walking through the garden or enjoying another cocktail as the city settles into the night, every moment feels exactly where it should be. By the end, strangers are no more.

THE LIGHT

From first light
to golden hour.

There is a different kind of beauty in the way the light moves throughout the day. It lingers on the stone, dances through the gardens and wraps every shared moment in a warmth that feels effortlessly Italian. The kind of light you never want to leave behind.

THE FEELING

More than a place.
A state of mind.

Morning light filters through the greenery. Golden hour warms the stone façades. As evening arrives, soft reflections replace the sun without ever changing the character of the place. Here, every hour reveals a different side of Rome, equally authentic.

BEYOND

Every ending is the beginning of another story.

Some places leave behind more than memories. They leave a feeling you’ll want to find again.

And while every destination changes, the spirit never does.
