A taste of our Rome Guide
Here are a few handpicked places from our complete guide, designed to make your stay in Rome special.
Cinema Nuovo Olimpia
Located centrally on Via in Lucina (off Via del Corso), Nuovo Olimpia is well-known for primarily screening films in their original language with Italian subtitles (V.O.S.). A great option for seeing current international releases without dubbing.
Centrale Montemartini
A fascinating museum belonging to the Capitoline Museums system, located in the Ostiense district. It offers a unique juxtaposition of classical Roman sculptures displayed amongst the preserved industrial machinery of a former thermoelectric power plant. A striking blend of archaeology and industrial architecture.
Parco degli Acquedotti (Aqueduct Park)
Part of the larger Appian Way Regional Park (Parco Regionale dell’Appia Antica), this vast park is characterized by the impressive ruins of ancient Roman aqueducts stretching across the landscape, including the Aqua Felix and Aqua Claudia. Ideal for long walks, cycling, photography, and escaping the city.
Nuovo Cinema Aquila
Located in the heart of the vibrant Pigneto neighborhood, Nuovo Cinema Aquila focuses on independent, art-house, and quality mainstream films. Frequently screens movies in their original language (V.O. – Versione Originale). Check their schedule for current screenings.
Biblioteca dell’Orologio (Clock Tower Library)
A public library belonging to the Biblioteche di Roma network, located near Piazza della Chiesa Nuova and adjacent to Borromini’s famous Oratorio dei Filippini (which features a clock tower – ‘orologio’). Offers book lending, reading spaces, and potentially cultural events. Check website for opening hours and services.
Sciascia Caffè 1919
A truly historic coffee house in the Prati district, operating since 1919. Step back in time with its elegant, old-world interiors. Renowned for serving excellent espresso and coffee blends, sometimes with special preparations (like added chocolate). Also offers pastries.
MAXXI – National Museum of 21st Century Arts
Located in the Flaminio district, MAXXI is Italy’s national museum dedicated to contemporary creativity. Designed by renowned architect Zaha Hadid, the building itself is a stunning piece of modern architecture worth seeing. It hosts exhibitions of 21st-century art, architecture, design, and photography.
Via della Lungara
A long street running alongside the Tiber River in Trastevere, connecting Ponte Sisto towards the Vatican/Borgo district. It passes notable sites like Villa Farnesina (with Raphael’s frescoes) and Palazzo Corsini (National Gallery of Ancient Art). Offers access points to climb the Janiculum Hill (Gianicolo) and is generally quieter than central Trastevere.
Velavevodetto Ai Quiriti Restaurant
Located in the Prati neighborhood on Piazza dei Quiriti, Velavevodetto ai Quiriti is the renowned sister restaurant to the famous Flavio al Velavevodetto in Testaccio. It’s celebrated for its authentic Roman cuisine, especially classic pasta dishes like Carbonara, Amatriciana, and Gricia. The atmosphere blends tradition with a refined touch, and it boasts an excellent wine list.
Il Desiderio Preso per la Coda
A cozy bistrot/restaurant tucked away in the historic center near Via Giulia. Often recommended for its creative brunch options, but also serves lunch and dinner. May focus on organic or locally sourced ingredients. Intimate atmosphere.
Borghese Gallery and Museum
Housed in the beautiful Villa Borghese Pinciana, this gallery contains masterpieces by Bernini (like Apollo and Daphne, David), Canova (Pauline Bonaparte), Caravaggio, Raphael, and Titian. The collection is displayed in its original setting, making the visit incredibly immersive. The surrounding Villa Borghese park is also worth exploring.
Il Gelato di San Crispino
A renowned artisanal gelateria near the Trevi Fountain, considered one of Rome’s classics. Focuses on pure, high-quality, seasonal flavours with no artificial additives. Famously serves only in cups (no cones) to maintain flavour integrity. Try their namesake honey ‘San Crispino’ flavour.
Great apartment and great location! All major sights are in 15-20 min walking distance. You have cafes, restaurants and shops (and a city spa 😉 within 100mtrs. The place is very central yet quiet, great for families . Gianluca is a great host and was very friendly, flexible and always reacted immediately. I hope to be back to this place and Rome in the future!

Gianluca’s place is a great location and a great space too! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.
Danielle
The apartment is beautiful. Martina was very easy to reach when there were questions.
The interior design is as described, very chic with a mix of modern and antique.
The location is key, it’s just between Pantheon and Piazza Navona and has a little cafe next door where you can have a coffee and pastry at the bar. A little convenient store is also next door and a bigger shop is just a block away.
It was a lovely stay in the apartment.
