  • Image reproduced with kind permission of Hotel Raphael - Interior of a room at the Hotel Raphael in Rome Hotel Raphael (Largo Febo 2, Rome) - A matter of meters from Piazza Navona, the Hotel Raphael is ideal for people who desire / require an excellent location in Rome especially over a short period or a weekend away which. We've always found the reception and restaurant waiting staff to be very efficient, helpful and courteus. The restaurant is excellent with a regularly changing menu - the chef does a mean berry parfait. The roof-top terrace is an excellent place for a cup of coffee, lunch or dinner and enjoying the views it command over the Roman rooftops which to St Peters, the Pantheon and Vittoriano.

    • Apartments

  • Borgo Pio Apartments (Piazza delle Vaschette 13, Rome) - The Borgo Pio Apartments are fantastically located equidistantly between Basilica San Pietro and the Castel Sant'Angello and the historical centre is a short walk across Pont Sant'Angello. The apartments are spacious - the larger apartments will sleep 6 with ease - and comfortable. During the summer months, they're also quite cool which is a real bonus during the mid-afternoon sun. There's a supermarket right on the next street along - a few minutes walk away and a take-out pizza place downstairs, which is nice.
