Rome has so many nice hotels I think you can look here and see some of the best ones Hotels in Rome Italy if you cant find any 3 star ones the Villafranca Hotel occupies a central location in the very heart of the Termini district. It is less than ten minutes on foot to popular sights such as the Roman Forums and Trevi Fountain. The nearest metro station is situated a mere 50 metres from the hotel placing guests within striking distance of the city`s historical sights and landmarks such as the coliseum. Nearby is the world famous Grand Boulevard and the Via Nazionale which offers a varied selection of shops and upmarket. The location is ideal for access to all the main sights in Rome. Rooms are clean and well decorated. The beds are very comfortable and the service is very good. Another really nice one is The Hotel Valle is an intimate, privately owned 3 star city centre hotel located between legend and history. A few steps from the hotel you can find some of the most romantic places in Rome and the most prestigious streets to do your shopping. I would recommend this one The Hotel Villa Florence Rome offers quality three star deluxe accommodation just outside the northern gates of the city. Close to green areas, historical siites of interest, restaurants, bars and public transport, the hotel is fantastic spot form which to enjoy Rome. A site of incredible historic value, its tranquil, calming gardens offer the perfect respite from the buzzing, frenetic city centre. Click on this site to find out things to do In Italy. Between the top of the Spanish Steps and the Pincio (above Piazza del Popolo). Although this short walk is along a road, it's quite quiet, with some stretches of wall where you can sit and enjoy a lovely view over Rome's rooftops.The Aventine hill is a quirky and different district, with two pleasant parks well-equipped with views towards St Peter's, benches, orange trees etc. You can also enjoy the memorable view through a keyhole, or visit Rome's public rose garden. Best Place for a Special Date: The Imago restaurant, at the Hassler Hotel. Count on amazing views from this elegant and intimate restaurant perched on the top of the Spanish Steps, as well as great service and innovative twists on Roman classics -- Ravioli filled with Crab Meat. There is also a nice place to see just outside Rome is the Villa d'Este, a seductive garden with more than 500 very festive fountains. And the Trevi Fountain
you should see it too, please go at night, when the fountain is illuminated.There is also the Bocca della Verita (The Mouth of Truth), in the portico of the church of Santa Maria, and swear that you didn't do it or you will never do it again. Since the Middle Ages this sculpture has been used as a lie detector. If you're fibbing, the mouth will bite off your hand. If you don't draw back a bloody stump, your lover should trust your sincerity. But click on all the links here and you will find so many Romantic places to go. Have a great time and enjoy Rome.
