Beside next to us there is Villa Pamphili, a beautiful park to walk, run and…cruise! and Catacombe di S. Pancrazio, a beautiful historical site.

Nearby Cities: In few miles you can get the beaches of Ostia Lido, and “Dar Zagaja” is a beautiful beach, with white sand and dunes to breath the air and meet someone!!

Tivoli is not far away as well, and the beautiful Villa Adriana with all the fountains and gardens is something spectacular!

The Castelli Romani is an ideal trip out of Rome (not even 15 km away!): beautiful landscapes, light air and the real italian wine!

“Edyta” Bed & Breakfast in downtown Rome, Italy

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008


Website: http://www.rome-bed-breakfast.eu

You are welcome to “Edyta” Bed & Breakfast in downtown Rome, Italy. Our wide rooms with private bath, air conditioning, and tv, are situated in an ideal place for discovering central Rome and its treasures. In fact, although it is very close to the main railway station and metro station “Termini” , the building is in a silent street. But most important is that we are so close to the main monuments of the city. For example, from the B&B you can reach both the famous Colosseo and S. Maria Maggiore in only a few minutes walking. Greetings from Rome!

Your B&B in Rome! Here you will find rooms with private bath, in an ideal place for discovering Rome and its treasures. The bed & breakfast is downtown Rome, but in quite street. It is very close to the main railway station Termini, and to the most famous monuments of the city.

From the B&B you can reach both the famous Colosseo and S. Maria Maggiore in only a few minutes walking. It is located on the first floor of a typical Rome bulding . The rooms have been recently restored, they are comfortable and welcoming. Every room has a private bathroom and air condition. The breakfast is rich and delicious.

Siamo lieti di accogliervi nel nostro B&B a Termini, nel centro di Roma. Le nostre ampie camere con bagno sono dotate di ogni comfort. Nonostante siamo a due passi dalla stazione centrale Termini, siamo collocati in una strada tranquilla. Le nostre ampie camere, da poco ristrutturate, sono dotate di ogni comfort, bagno privato, aria condizionata, televisione, cucina in comune. Offriamo una completa colazione tipo continentale.

Dal nostro B&B potrete raggiungere rapidamente le principali attrazioni della città, come ad esempio il Colosseo o la chiesa di S. Maria Maggiore in cinque minuti a piedi, oppure S. Pietro o Piazza di Spagna in meno di venti minuti con la metropolitana.

The sheer imperial scale of Rome is sure to knock you out.

It’s hard to say what you’ll find most breathtaking about the Eternal City – the arrogant opulence of the Vatican, the timelessness of the Forum, the top speed of a Fiat Bambino, the gory resonance of the Colosseum, trying to cross a major intersection, or the bill for your caffe latte.

Make like the locals and souse your senses in the glut of pleasures the city has to offer, from the grandiose thrill of feeling centuries of turbulent history under your feet to the small but potent intoxication of eating chestnut gelati on a hot day.

The main tourist season starts at Easter and runs until October; peak periods are in spring and autumn, when the tour buses pour in and tourists are herded around like cattle. Numerous outdoor festivals and concerts and the fact that Romans desert the city for the beaches and mountains, which means very light traffic and a less-crowded city centre, makes summer almost worth the heat. If you do visit in summer, try to hit the sights early, take a long lunch and a nap, and then head out again around 18:00 to take advantage of the cooler evening. Be aware some restaurants and shops close for the month of August. Winters are usually mild with few tourists and some fun events around Christmas time.

Rome’s mild climate makes it visitable year-round; however, spring and autumn are without doubt the best times to visit, with generally sunny skies and mild temperatures (although late autumn, November, can be rainy). July and August are unpleasantly hot (many Romans desert the city in August so many businesses close at this time); from December to February there is briskly cold weather, although it’s rarely grey and gloomy.

Try packing this little sampler into three days: start with the obvious choices of the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Museums and St Peter’s Basilica. Catch your breath over a leisurely lunch around Piazza Navona. Pass by the Pantheon before exploring the Roman Forum and Colosseum in the afternoon. Make a night of it in lively and atmospheric Trastevere.

Spend a morning at the market in Campo dé Fiori and the Capitoline Museums. Let the ancient wonders at Palazzo Massimo alle Terme captivate you, before plumbing Rome’s multilayered history at the San Clemente Basilica. Wander through Villa Borghese and visit the magnificent, and hopefully prebooked, Galleria Borghese. Or get some retail action at the swish designer stores around Via Condotti. Naturally, spend your evenings on a passeggiata (stroll) – with gelato – from Piazza di Spagna to the Trevi Fountain. Check out ‘Il Campo’ for fun after dark, or stay out far later than you should in Testaccio.

Vowing never to touch a bottle of wine for at least another five hours I emerge onto the noisy and painfully bright streets in search of sugar-laced caffeine. I find a bar and wolf down an espresso before heading off to the Museo e Galleria Borghese. I’ve booked my ticket and before long I’m standing before a Bernini sculpture wondering how he made such hard, grey marble seem so soft. Not being a Baroque genius I give up and move on to the Caravaggios. Sated on art my thoughts turn to lunch. I know a good, old-fashioned trattoria near the Pantheon where you can get great pasta and a very drinkable house white and still have enough money left for a coffee at the Caffè Sant’ Eustachio. It’s a long walk, past the five-star hotels and touristy restaurants on Via Vittorio Veneto down to Piazza Barberini and busy Via del Tritone. By the time I sit down I’m famished. Fed and watered, I jump on a tram for Trastevere and make my way slowly up Via Garibaldi to the Janiculum Hill. I love the view from the top and pass a pleasant half hour trying to work out which dome is what. By now the heat of the afternoon’s giving way to the cool of the evening and I feel my energy returning. I’m going to need it for the night ahead – an aperitivo, dinner in San Lorenzo and then…well, then, whatever.

If sightseeing in Rome has one fault, it is simply that there is too much to see. Home to some of the most amazing sights in the world, a trip through the streets of the Italian capital will leave you spellbound.

Centre of the former Roman Empire, word at the time stated that: ‘All roads lead to Rome’ and when you get there you will soon see why. A wonderful blend of the old and the not so old, from the ancient Colisseum to the wealth and splendour of the Vatican City, the city has attracted some of the world’s finest artists, architects and engineers throughout the centuries. Evidence of their presence is to be found on every street and square making it a unique destination where walking around strongly resembles walking through the world’s biggest museum.

Most would recommend that you begin your sightseeing trip in the centro storico where there is a vast collection of both Classical and Christian sights contained in an area that you can easily navigate on foot. Realistically, however, it doesn’t matter where you begin because there are certain attractions where everyone ends up. Among these are the aforementioned Vatican and Colosseum, the Pantheon, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Piazza Navona, the Catacombs, the Sistine Chapel and the hundreds of churches and piazzas which are scattered throughout the city.

The most important thing to remember is that you are not going to see everything. Some focus on the main attractions spending plenty of time on each one. Others spend their stay rushing from one attraction to the other trying to fit as much as they can into a very short space of time. Whichever option you choose, rest assured that you will enjoy it thoroughly but if you do intend returning, and you probably will, the former is probably the better of the two.
