If you're visiting the Vatican while you're in Rome, this is an incredible location. Only two blocks outside of the Vatican wall, the Borgo neighborhood is a beautiful place to start. Tommaso's stylish pad is also on ground level, which is a welcome change to the countless stairs that await you in most of Italy as well as any of the tourist destinations. You're a stone's throw from the Tiber River and walking distance to Trastevere, a very hot and happening spot for bars and nightlife. I only wished we had booked more time here!
