Are you interested in a tourist-free area yet in the city centre of Rome? Are you looking for a genuine neighbourhood full of Italian vespas, Fiat ’500s, grandmothers strolling arm-in-arm, reasonably priced local restaurants or café? Don’t miss Testaccio!
Booking an apartment in Testaccio will allow you to choose your food by asking about dishes you see Italians eating, to buy in-season food (fish, meat, fruits & vegetables, legumes etc.) in a delightful daily covered market, to access amazing delis shops, to enjoy memorable street and night life.
Not even to mention both the " cappuccino and cornetto" (croissant) and the "caffè" (possibly "al vetro"!) experience in the local bars in the morning! Unique, not exactly the Starbucks’style!
Testaccio is an easy walk - no more than 20 minutes away - from the most attractive destinations of the southern part of the centro storico of Rome, such as the Colosseum, Trastevere, the Roman Forum and the Circo Massimo.
In the last couple of decades Testaccio has evolved from Rome’s meatpacking district into a trendy hotspot with countless of cool bars, clubs, restaurants and pubs. A very fashionable place to live by hip Romans and artists (real estate prices have soared accordingly) but not at all well-known for its hotels.
