The Bed and Breakfast Little Italy is located in the heart of Rome, between the main railway station Roma Termini and the Coliseum.
The Dutch owner speaks English, German, French, Spanish, Danish and of course Dutch and Italian.
Our ample breakfast includes cereal (2 different kinds) with milk, freshly baked bread, butter, different kinds of jam, a choice of 4 kinds of juice, and coffee or
tea.
The Coliseum and Forum Romanum are only 5 minutes (on foot) from the Little Italy. It will take you no more than 2 minutes to walk to the Basilica of St. Mary Major and less than 10 minutes to get to the Terme di Diocleziano, the Museo Nazionale Romano and the Via Nazionale, one of Rome\’s main shopping streets. There is also a beautiful park, with a small children\’s playground, around the block.
It only takes 5 minutes to walk to Rome\’s main railway station and transportation hub, which makes it easy to visit sights that are away from the center (the Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel, the Catacombs) or even outside Rome (daytrips to Tivoli, Ostia Antica and the beach, but even Pompei, are well within the possibilities).
Rome’s oldest and biggest ice-cream parlor is only a couple of blocks away. There is a big supermarket around the corner, a daily food market a 2 minute walk away, and the area is full of good and cheap pizzerias, trattorias and (both Italian and ethnic) restaurants, some of which give discounts to our guests.
The Bed and Breakfast Little Italy was recently renovated (April 2006). The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated and all have their own television set and a small refrigerator. The 19th century building the Little Italy is located in is in a quiet side street, a peaceful haven after the hustle and bustle of a day of sightseeing, queuing up and dealing with the way the Romans drive their cars.
The rooms are cleaned every day and every day we give you clean towels (big towels, fluffy towels!). There is hot water 24 hours a day.
