Our Introduction

The Eternal City, Rome, is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. With historic monuments, museums, and attractions that delight us, Rome also offers bars and restaurants with magnificent views. Rome has an immense variety of bars and restaurants, and the bars are usually crowded, especially during sunset, as the views are even more beautiful and special ‘tinged’ in gold. If you don’t want to risk it, I suggest you make a reservation.

Some places also offer breakfast, which can be a great option for those who prefer a quieter period to enjoy the view without too many people around.

Golden Tips

If you plan to have lunch and/or dinner in a Roman restaurant (especially the most popular ones), especially if you are traveling during high season, it is highly recommended to book in advance.
The same goes if you are traveling during festive periods such as Easter, Christmas and New Year. Even if it’s not some special period, I suggest you check availability BEFORE heading to the venue. Some of them may have a short queue.

Hotel I suggest near the Historic Center

If you are passionate about art and would like to stay in the center where you can move around walking, as well as having countless possibilities for places to have lunch / dinner or a snack, I advise you to stay in the historic center. Regions near the Trevi Fountain, the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, the Imperial Forum and the Villa Borghese, Piazza Spagna and Piazza Navona can be considered as “historic center”. These are the most expensive areas, but you will be close to everything, literally!

If you want to save a great option is the B&B, click on the links below and get to know each one. If you like the suggestion make your reservation and guarantee good prices.

If you prefer a good hotel, I have three options that I really like, click on the links below and get to know each one. If you like the suggestion make your reservation and guarantee good prices;)

Hotels that I suggest near the San Giovanni Region

For those who want to find cheaper alternatives in quiet areas, but at the same time close to the means of transport to the center, I suggest the region of San Giovanni or Monti (near the metro stations San Giovanni, Castro Pretorio and Circus Massimo) – which it is a more residential neighborhood; therefore, more economical and quiet! And with just 15 minutes by subway you will be in the center too!

Hotel I suggest near Termini Station

For those who prefer to stay in neighborhoods that have good access to the rest of the city and at a better price, then you should choose accommodation in the surroundings of Termini Station (from where a dense network of public means of transport starts, serving both: the local people and tourists).

Hotels that I suggest in Trastevere

For those who prefer to “taste” authentic and characteristic Rome, there is nothing better than booking a hotel in Trastevere (on the outskirts of the city’s historic river), full of typical Roman history and traditions, known for the tortuous streets of sampietrini stones and the centers medieval style housing.

The neighborhood is in the historic center and to the right of the Tevere River, in the midst of a spectacular landscape, where each visitor can observe the countless churches and squares (such as Santa Maria in Trastevere). In addition, this neighborhood offers several local restaurants and canteens for those who want to try typical Roman cuisine.
