Just returned from our four-day stay in Rome at Blu Tango which is situated on a pretty, narrow, one-way street. Fausto’s rooms overlook an inner courtyard with garden views, [we were in the Turtle room, with different paintings], so very quiet and comfortable. It’s the perfect place from which to explore Rome as about a 10-min walk to the Colosseum, slightly longer to the Fori and Piazza Venezia and roughly 50 mins to St. Peter’s [further to the Vatican Museums, so we took a taxi]. The Pantheon and Trevi Fountain also within easy walking distance.
Breakfast available at Er Baretto bar immediately opposite where Marco will provide creamy cappuchini and croissants [but he doesn’t open until 08.00 on a Sunday so couldn’t ask him to order a taxi for us = we walked c. 20 mins to the train Termini: nessun problema].
Fausto [who looks better than his photo!] was very helpful in providing restaurant recommendations: unfortunately, two were busy at the weekend, but managed to reserve the third, Matermatuta, which was excellent. We highly recommend Blu Tango.
