Comments and Advice from our Guests:

Advice for Hotels:
1) I am a big fan of Hotel Inghilterra, it is a block from the Spanish steps (below them) and really couldn’t ask for a better location. Additionally I suggest the Eden, the Raphael, and the incredible Hassler. Regardless you should make sure you get a drink at the Eden’s rooftop bar for amongst the most stunning views of the city you could ask for.

2) I stayed at the Aldrovandi few years back and although it is quite nice it is a bit out of the way, behind the Borghese park… My favourite hotel is Hotel de Russie and I would request a garden view with the little balcony… their breakfast is wonderful!

3) I agree Hotel Inghilterra is the best if you can get one of the redone rooms.
I really liked the Hotel Inghilterra, Great central location near Spanish Steps…
Also for me: The charming Hotel d’Inghilterra a via Bocca di leone.

4) Hotel Eden, amazing view from the rooftop.

5) If you wont to live a Dolce Vita week-end, go to the Excelsior Hotel in Via Veneto.

As always remember you pay at the Hotel.

villa-borghese-rome

Comments and Advices from our Guests

1) Casina Valadier for example, situated in the heart of Villa Borghese (photo above). Salotto 42, Pietra Square 42, for aperitif and/or Hotel de Russie (9, babuino street). Very amazing one.

2) As Restaurant: La Fischetteria, Croce Street
Wine Bar: Antica Vineria, in Croce street

You should try to go to la casina Valadier – in the heart of Villa Borghese – on a Friday night for their signature “aperitivo”, basically a buffet dinner with drinks. The Salotto 42 is pretty good too and laid back, basically every night, and particularly on Thursday and Saturday.

3) Via della Croce is just off Piazza di Spagna and a parallel street to Via Condotti, is a good option for both lunch and dinner.
La Fiaschetteria da Cesaretto is actually a very “cute” place and the food is good too; the antica Vineria can be an option for an evening drink. As can be a casual drink in Campo De’ Fiori.

4) The bar at the Hotel the Russie is very chic, it’s an outside garden and is very quite despite being in the buzzing centre: nearby to dine you have a few options. One is il Bolognese, that would qualify, along with i Due Ladroni [the two thieves... in Piazza Nicosia] as chic dining venues as per your initial post…

5) September is a strange part of the year: the lifestyle is more shaped on the summer than on the “normality” of the city life so you want to check “what’s up” while here.

6) La Antica Enoteca on via della Croce is definitely not classy.
Salotto 42 is nice but so small!

Anything in the center of Rome will ruin your shoes and you stomach I would go to place in Parioli, where the food is better or if you want real genuine Roman food put your jeans on and go to the suburbe. That is where all the new restaurants are with the new and upcoming chefs.
