Get Lost in the Streets of Trastevere, 1 min

  • Wander through cobbled alleys, small piazzas and ivy-covered streets. The best way to discover Trastevere is often without a precise destination.

Bernini’s Masterpiece, 1 min

  • Just steps from the hotel, inside the Church of San Francesco a Ripa, you can admire one of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s most moving masterpieces: The Ecstasy of Blessed Ludovica Albertoni.

Walk up to the Janiculum Hill, 15 min

  • Climb towards the Gianicolo for one of the best panoramic views over Rome, stopping at the monumental Acqua Paola fountain along the way.

Discover Villa Farnesina & the Botanical Garden, 15 min

  • Admire Raphael’s frescoes inside Villa Farnesina, then escape the city for a while among the paths and greenery of Rome’s Botanical Garden.

Experience Trastevere after Sunset, 1 min

  • Come back out in the evening, when the neighborhood changes character: lively piazzas, wine bars, trattorias and streets full of Roman nightlife.

Experiences

Go beyond sightseeing and experience the neighborhood through its food, people and everyday rituals. From local markets to hands-on activities, these are some of the best ways to discover the authentic side of Trastevere and Testaccio.

Sunset at Jacopa Rooftop

  • From June to October, don’t miss sunset from our rooftop terrace. Order a drink at Jacopa Cocktail Bar and enjoy an incredible view over the Aventine Hill as the light changes over Rome — one of the best ways to end the day.

Sunday Flea Market, 2 min

  • Every Sunday morning, Porta Portese comes alive with Rome’s most famous flea market. Browse hundreds of stalls selling vintage clothes, antiques, records, books, household objects and all kinds of unexpected finds. Chaotic, colorful and unmistakably Roman.

Farmer’s Market, 18 min

  • Held near the Circus Maximus, the Mercato di Campagna Amica at San Teodoro brings together farmers and small producers from Lazio. It’s a great place to discover seasonal fruit and vegetables, cheeses, cured meats, olive oil, wine and other local specialties, all sold directly by the producers.

Explore Rome by Bike

  • Pick up a bike-sharing bike or e-scooter and head to the cycle path starting near Ponte Sublicio, just a couple of minutes from the hotel. Following the Tiber gives you a completely different perspective on Rome — quieter, greener and away from the traffic of the historic centre.
