When in Rome....where should we stay?

[swineofthetimes]

I want to take dh to Rome for his 40th in October, but I'm struggling to know where to book accomomdation wise (I've never been before).

Can anyone recommend somewhere please? I'd prefer small hotel/ guesthouse rather than a large 5* effort, and preferably not toooooo expensive but I am willing to push the boat out a bit as it's his 40th.

Thanks

I would recommend Hotel Capo D'Africa. Brilliant location. Ticked all the boxes for us a couple of years ago.

we stayed Hotel Capo D'Africa recently was outstanding i can recommend it

wow - double recommendation! I'll take a look now - thanks.

DP and I stayed here in December for his 40th. It was very nice, not the height of luxury, but I'd happily stay there again and the location was fab.

Also, if you're thinking of doing any guided walking tours, Roman Candle Tours were fantastic. I would echo every word of the testimonials on the website!

The Capo D'Africa looks perfect - but as we were planning to stay for 3 nights it's quoting 900 Euros . Maybe I'm being a tightwad and should just throw caution to the wind ?

Location of the Hibernia looks great stinkyfeet - thanks.

Can also recommend Angel Tours, they were really good.

Hotel White is a great location near the Trevi Fountain, it might suit the budget a bit better.
