Rome for Romans, Great Neighborhood, Few Tourists

Building in Prati, Rome

Clients ask us where they can stay in Rome that is not touristy and where they can enjoy real Italian life. They have heard or know that in the touristy heart of Rome, visitors can be shoulder to shoulder, reminding us of Disneyland Main Street in summer.

If you want to be near the sites and to experience an interesting and pleasant area of Rome without the crowds, we know just the place! Across the river from the Spanish Steps neighborhood, near the Vatican, is Prati, a central neighborhood that Romans love.
