We opted for the "Blue Room" with private bath (including shower, sink, toilet and bidet). The room was spotlessly maintained, and the double bed was firm and comfortable. Rosa Maria and Meldy made sure that our breakfast was on time and perfect for a long day of sightseeing. For those very hot Rome summer nights, air conditioning has been installed.

While this B&B is not quite central to most of the sights, it is very close to the colonnade of St. Peter's Square (hence the name) and is served by the famous 64 bus, as well as a short walk to the Ottaviano stop of the Linea A metro and the 116 and 115 buses from the Gianicolo terminal.

When we return to Rome, we will be sure to stay with Rosa Maria and Meldy.
