Our Top Picks for Rome
Small group tour includes entry to Colosseum and Gladiator’s Gate level as well as Roman Forum.
Airy and relaxing rooms near the Spanish Steps
Elegant and romantic hotel supremely located with a view of the ancient Pantheon
Longstanding gelato shop making small-batch gelato, recommended by Anthony Bourdain.
Rome is well connected with transportation and as long as you are in the city center you will have plenty of options for suitable accommodation.
For family travel, we have enjoyed Air BnB’s in the Prati neighborhood. This neighborhood is more residential, often offers more spacious apartments, and is still well-connected to all parts of the city center.
