For many decades, "fashionable" and “pensione” were never a match in Italy. Small and family-run, with no room service or concierge, or at times even a working TV, pensiones were regarded as dowdy — particularly in Rome which is a very style-conscious city.
But nowadays, the bed-and-breakfasts of this country have considerably grown up. They continue to be intimate affairs, a “second home” where you plan the places to see and the things to do in this popular tourist destination, over a brioche (cornetto) and coffee. Here’s the three of them:
Guesthouse Arco dei Tolomei
A sense of time travel is significantly felt in this place. The owners embellished the 6 guest
rooms with the family’s noble belongings: a walnut wardrobe, a crystal chandelier, and family portraits from the 18th century.
Aklesia Suite
This pensione reflects the history of the neighborhood and the personality of its owner as well. Situated nearby the Colosseum, the 3 sun-filled rooms of Aklesia, with their unique antiques and tiled floors, are warm and convivial.
Locanda del Sole
You'll find handmade furniture made in Italy; enjoy homemade Nutella rolls during breakfast; be greeted with hazelnut chocolates, Lazio wine and a complimentary minibar including prosecco.
