The British Corner In Roma

29/11/2025: Fantastic location for ceremonies with a splendid view of Rome from the Pincio.

28/11/2025: Casina Valadier is the name commonly given to the Pincio café, a small building located in Piazza Bucarest, within Villa Borghese, Rome. The building takes its name from its designer, the Roman architect Giuseppe Valadier, who designed and built it between 1816 and 1837, reworking an earlier 17th-century farmhouse. During the Second World War, it was occupied by German soldiers. After the war, the Casina enjoyed a new period of prosperity until a series of inappropriate changes of ownership led to a further decline, which lasted until 1990, when it was closed to the public. The Casina reopened on June 19, 2004, after several renovations. Since 2024, it has been managed by a private company and is used exclusively as a venue for weddings and private or corporate events. Parking: On Sundays and holidays, when the ZTL gates are inactive, the nearest parking lot is in Piazza Bucarest (Casina Valadier). We attended a networking event sponsored by a luxury automotive brand, and the atmosphere is always magical. The building is truly well-preserved, and the views from the outdoor balcony are incredible. The nearest paid parking lots for Saturdays and weekdays are: Parcheggio Ludovisi (Via Veneto entrance) and Piazzale Ferdowsi (opposite the Galleria d'Arte Moderna).
