This B&B is a treasure of a find! The location is amazingly convenient, situated c.45 minutes shuttle bus ride from Rome Leonardo Da Vinci airport (the bus stops 5-10min walk away) and just a few cobbled streets from St Peter’s Square and surrounding historic places of interest such as The Vatican (Museum) and and castle Sant Angelo, right near the banks of the River Tiber and its ornamental bridges.
The stops for the hop-on-hop-off buses to sightsee Rome are nearby, and public transport buses take you into the area of the Roman Forum, Colleseum, Capitol building, Museums, Panthenon etc.
It’s even walkable! (We walked back to the B&B one evening from the Colleseum via the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain… so it’s do-able, but we slept well!)
In terms of the B&B… it is in a traditional Italian Apartment block, full of character and original features. Our double room was clean and comfortable, the shower was perfect. Rosanna and Francisco (mother and son) went out of their way (while keeping out of the way) to make sure we had everything we needed - breakfasts were plentiful and recommendations for local eateries spot on.
If we are lucky enough to return to Rome we will definitely stay again at A Porta Castello!
