The setting
This hotel is in a residential neighbourhood in northern Rome, about 4 km from the historic city centre, just a few minutes’ walk from Piazza del Popolo and the Flaminio district. It is one of the quietest and most authentic corners of the city, which, while offering convenient access to the Villa Borghese Gardens, is nonetheless set apart from the hustle and bustle surrounding the major squares. All attractions are just a short bus ride or a short walk from Flaminio Station.
What to expect
This is a 3-star city hotel with a bar where you can have a drink before bed, a shared kitchen for guests who want to cook for themselves, and a conference room for those who want to combine sightseeing with work. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, on-site parking is available, and a shuttle service can be arranged. The rooms are furnished in a minimalist style and are particularly well-suited for travellers who prefer to spend their days exploring the sights outdoors rather than relaxing in their room.
Things to do nearby
Piazza del Popolo and the Carlo Bilotti Museum are nearby and are perfect for a leisurely morning stroll before your first cup of coffee. And for those who’ve already had their fill of ancient ruins, it’s worth taking an equally short walk to MAXXI—Rome’s museum of contemporary art and architecture. Just a few minutes’ walk away is the Villa Borghese Gardens. With its shaded walking paths and a lake dotted with boats, it’s spacious enough to spend a peaceful day there.
Best for
This accommodation is ideal for couples and small families who want to enjoy Rome without breaking the bank, while avoiding crowded tourist areas. The shared kitchen is perfect for long-term stays and travellers looking to cut down on food costs, and for guests arriving by car, on-site parking is a major advantage. Guests with children are always welcome. For business travellers, there is a conference room and a quick shuttle service, making this accommodation ideal for short-term stays, including weekend business trips.
How to get to the hotel
Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) Airport is about 30 km south-west, typically 40-50 minutes by car depending on traffic; Ciampino sits roughly 25 km south-east, around 40 minutes. The hotel can arrange a transfer at booking. Trains from Fiumicino run into Termini in around 32 minutes, from where a metro or short taxi finishes the trip. Drivers get on-site parking, which is rare for central Rome.

Your 3 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Piazza del Popolo and the old lanes
Have an espresso near the hotel, then take a walk to Piazza del Popolo to see the two churches on the square and the obelisk in the centre. From there, head south through the streets of the Tridente neighbourhood and stroll through the narrow streets lined with shops and cafes. Along the way, stop by a trattoria and enjoy a leisurely lunch. In the late afternoon, return to the hotel via the Flaminio neighbourhood and end the day in the evening at the hotel bar with a glass of Italian wine.
Gardens, art and a long lunch
You’ll spend the morning in Villa Borghese Gardens. There, you can rent a rowboat on the small lake or relax on a bench in the shade of the pine trees. From there, you’ll head to the Carlo Bilotti Museum to enjoy a concise overview of contemporary art, including works by De Chirico.Treat yourself to a short break in this green oasis with some “pizza al taglio,” and in the afternoon, head north to MAXXI. There you can admire the architecture designed by Zaha Hadid, as well as the regularly changing exhibitions. If you have dinner in Flaminio, you’ll be close to your accommodations.
Slow morning before the road home
Spend your last day in a relaxed atmosphere. Pick up some pastries at a local bakery, take another stroll through Piazza del Popolo, or head up to the Pincio terrace to enjoy a panoramic view of the city’s rooftops. If you’re travelling by rental car, the hotel offers parking, making your departure hassle-free. Otherwise, you should book a transfer from the hotel to Fiumicino or Ciampino Airport. Before you leave, be sure to treat yourself to one last ice cream—after all, in Rome, it’s simply a must.
