Stay
This is where I stayed on my most recent stay.
It faces Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore in the Monti district.
It is new, fresh and offers rooms with a great view of the piazza along with an amazing rooftop bar.
A stylish boutique hotel in the Prati district, close to the Vatican.
A Hilton Curio hotel, a beautiful historical building with a 10-minute walk to the
Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and Villa Borghese.
Another spot we have stayed before, a little larger of a hotel with a great location in Monti.
Recommended by a friend, right by the Spanish steps and all the shops.
