Rome bed and breakfast accommodation in the Eternal City
Rome bed and breakfasts are on the increase in the greatest city in Italy in terms of visitor numbers and sights to see and fabulous tastes to savor. The ancient Romans were not wrong when they called it the Eternal City, because Rome remains eternally interesting for its architecture, restaurants, fashion, museums and fascinating people and fabulous hot summer night life. The growing popularity of a Rome bed and breakfast as a place to stay, especially for travelers on a shoestring budget, is quite understandable because what Rome has to offer does not happen behind closed doors but in the piazzas and trattorias, on the streets and in the museums and other public spaces. It makes sense to stay overnight in a Rome B&B, lodge or inn, enjoy a light breakfast and the rest of the time experience the Italian capital as so many hundreds and millions of people have done through the ages.
Rome had its origins 753 when the twins Romulus and Remus founded a settlement on the Palatine hill, which later grew into the city situated on seven hills. It grew until it became the headquarters of Roman culture and the bedrock of European civilization. Bed and breakfast visitors soon learn from their hosts that Rome is in the Lazio region of central Ital where the Aniene River meets the Tiber. The city centre is about 10 miles (24 km ) from the Tyrrhenian Sea and enjoys a wonderful Mediterranean climate. There are bed and breakfasts, inns and lodges in every nook and cranny of Rome, whether near the Forum, the Colosseum or any of the myriad tourist attractions. There are B&Bs near the Spanish Steps, B&Bs near the Monument of Vittorio Emanuele II, B&Bs near the Piazza del Popolo and B&Bs near the Quirinal Palace. Or just choose a Rome B&B anywhere to be near what is arguably the world’s most popular food, Italian food. There are hundreds of coffee bars, ristorantes and pizzerias to be found on every corner near to every bed and breakfast.
Rome has close ties to the Catholic Church and was the center of Catholicism until the Vatican See became a city all on its own, surrounded by Rome. Pilgrims to the Vatican can find Rome bed and breakfast accommodation in walking distance of St Peter’s Square and the great museums and buildings of the Vatican. Pilgrims are not usually inclined to stay in expensive accommodation and for this reason B&Bs near the Vatican are always popular. There are dozen of such bed and breakfasts, lodges and inns in Rome near the Vatican
