In the historic centre of Rome

Campo Marzio, between the river and the Corso

Both apartments are in Campo Marzio, the northern part of Rome's historic centre (centro storico). The Pantheon is 5 to 7 minutes away on foot, the Spanish Steps about 10 and the Trevi Fountain about 12. Most visitors staying here do not need public transport for anything except the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum, which are each about half an hour's walk.

The neighbourhood

Campo Marzio takes its name from the Campus Martius, the field of Mars, where ancient Rome trained its soldiers and later built its theatres, baths and temples. Today it is the fourth of Rome's historic districts, the rioni, and one of the most elegant: a quarter of ochre palazzi, small piazzas and long-established shops, running from Piazza del Popolo down towards the Pantheon.

It sits inside the Historic Centre of Rome, which UNESCO has listed as a World Heritage Site since 1980. It is also flat, which matters more than you might think after a day on cobbles.

Getting here and getting around

The nearest metro station is Spagna, on Line A, about ten minutes on foot. Line A runs direct to Termini station and to Ottaviano, for the Vatican Museums.

From Fiumicino airport, a licensed white taxi costs a fixed 55 euros to any address inside the Aurelian Walls, which includes both apartments.

We do not recommend bringing a car. The historic centre is a limited traffic zone and almost everything is closer on foot.
