About Us
Our story, our home, our idea of hospitality
Our Origins
I was born and raised in this house, between Via Salaria and Villa Ada, one of Rome's greenest and most authentic neighborhoods. Here I learned that kindness is not weakness, but discipline: it requires listening, clarity, and mutual respect.
In 2013, we opened Elements Guest House as a natural extension of that vision. It's not a place built to please, but a place lived with coherence. Every room, every rule, every daily gesture was designed for balance: welcoming without invading, offering without flaunting.
Since then, more than ten years have passed and thousands of guests. Each brought a fragment of story, advice, a smile. This continuous dialogue taught us that hospitality is not a job, but a relationship.
Villa Ada: the breath of the neighborhood
Three minutes from us opens Villa Ada, 180 hectares of greenery and light, where Rome returns to breathe. Those who stay here feel it immediately: the green, the silence, the morning light.
It's a place that invites you to walk slowly, to breathe, to rediscover time. For us, this balance between city and quietness is the true luxury.
From Salario you can reach the center in 15-20 minutes by metro, but return every evening to a real neighborhood, where Romans live their daily lives.
Our way of welcoming
Being hospitable doesn't mean always saying yes. It means listening with respect, responding with clarity, and maintaining boundaries that protect everyone's serenity.
We chose to make every procedure simple and transparent: direct bookings, online forms, AI assistance that helps but doesn't replace. This way we can remain present, with a clear mind and an open heart.
Hospitality, for us, is made of real cleanliness (not just visual), clear rules (explained with kindness), listening (even to small details), time to respond well (not hastily), and mutual respect as the foundation of every encounter.
Technology helps us be present in the right way: without haste, but without absence.
Where We Are
Largo Pietro Mascagni 20
We are at Largo Pietro Mascagni 20, in Rome's Trieste-Salario district, one of the most elegant and well-connected residential areas of the city.
A 10-minute walk from Libia metro station (Line B1) and 15 minutes from Nomentana metro (Line B). Bus stops (60, 92, 135, 235, 310) and tram (Line 3 and 19) are right outside.
The neighborhood is safe, quiet, tree-lined, with cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and pharmacies within walking distance. The atmosphere is authentic and residential, not touristy—but the center is just a few metro stops away.

Our 10 Principles of Conscious Hospitality
Listening
Welcoming is not speaking, but knowing when to be silent. True listening means understanding before responding.
Symbiosis
Every encounter is an exchange. The guest brings energy, curiosity and presence; the host offers care, order and time.
Transparency
What we write is what you'll find. Clarity is the most concrete form of trust.
Abundance
A sincere gesture, a kind word, advice given without calculation: these are forms of abundance.
Integrity
Coherence between what you say and what you do builds respect. Integrity is not announced: it's lived.
Resonance
Every person carries a different vibration. Welcoming means knowing how to harmonize, without wanting to change the other.
Respect
Rules don't serve to impose, but to protect. Respecting means recognizing one's own and others' boundaries.
Equilibrium
Equilibrium is not immobility, but continuous movement toward the center. Maintaining equilibrium means adapting without losing oneself.
Time
Time is the most precious resource. We respect the time of those who arrive and our time to do things well.
Adaptation
Every guest is different, and every stay is a new story. Adaptation is gentle intelligence: flexibility that doesn't lose form.
Why choose Rome, every day
Rome is an intense city, made of contrasts: wonderful and chaotic, sacred and everyday.
Staying at Elements means experiencing it with the right rhythm: immersing yourself in history during the day and finding calm in the evening.
We are minutes away from Villa Ada, Coppedè, Villa Torlonia and Galleria Borghese — spaces that tell the living Rome, the one that reveals itself only to those who know how to take their time.

Our Philosophy
"Welcoming means creating a bond, not just offering a room. It means being present without being intrusive. It means listening to needs and adapting. Hospitality is not a service—it's an exchange. And every guest teaches us something new."
