Candle Experience

The Candle Experience: An Intimate Roman Holiday at Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese

Step into an exclusive world of warmth and intimacy with the limited-edition Candle Experience at Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese. Available for stays from November 27th to February 28th, this optional add-on transforms a single room or suite each night into a haven designed for shared, special moments during the festive season and beyond.

Inspired by Sofitel’s signature Candle Ritual, which honors Paris’s « City of Light » history, this experience is a private, in-room reimagining of that gentle, collective pause as day transitions to night. The ceremony itself is a brief, poetic act that invites you to slow down and focus on what truly matters: connection.

The experience begins the moment you open your door to a room already beautifully aglow with candlelight. Softened edges, subtle fragrance, and a glass of Champagne await, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening. The ambience is enhanced by a calm, seasonal soundscape played through state-of-the-art Devialet speakers. The music is expertly tuned to the soft candle glow and the Essence de Sofitel fragrance, creating a gentle, immersive audio environment that encourages conversation and stillness.

Book now for this rare pause à deux and savour a moment that is uniquely yours.
