This lovely, spacious quiet room was the perfect home base for my first visit to Rome. In the busy heart of the city, just 15-20 minutes walk to Termini or Trevi Fountain, or 15 minutes to the popular on-off bus routes, the window faces a tranquil courtyard that feels a world away. Thanks to Sallustiano, who was a great host. I will definitely be back! Secret tip: The Ecstasy of St Teresa, one of the greatest sculptures by Bernini, who also designed many of the piazzas in the city, is literally just around the corner, in a small Baroque church that draws few visitors. One of the highlights of my trip!
