Where to stay near Rome’s Trevi Fountain

Rome’s Baroque Trevi Fountain is one of the most famous fountains in the world, having featured in classic films like La Dolce Vita and Roman Holiday. Situated at the end of the Roman aqueduct, Aqua Virgo, the elaborate fountain features statues and tiered pools centred around the figure of Neptune, God of the sea, and took 30 years to build. It’s said that if you stand with your back to the fountain and toss a coin over your left shoulder, you’re guaranteed to return to Rome – and it’s estimated that 3,000 Euros are thrown into the water each day (the money is collected and given to charity).

These guesthouses and apartments are all within walking distance of Rome’s historical sites, shopping, restaurants and cafés.
