Where we are

Ikigai Home

Philosophy

Ikigai is not just a word or a name; it's an ancient Japanese concept.

Made up of "iki" meaning "life" and "gai" meaning "value," it encapsulates the primary purpose of one's life and happiness—the reason you wake up every day.

To find your Ikigai, you need to ask yourself questions with an open mind, ready for discovery and new experiences. Ikigai is also linked to the concept of flow, which happens when you're constantly doing something you love and are good at, with the potential added benefit of bringing value to others' lives.

This house in the heart of Rome has been, and continues to be every day, my Ikigai. A project I’ve always had in my heart, which, with determination and hard work, I’ve finally managed to make a reality.

There’s so much of me in this house: my love for travel, for colors, for comfort, for handmade and artistic things.

My desire is to share this happiness and peace with all the travelers who stay here, and for each one to leave a little bit of love within the house.
