The real strength of the area is its proximity to the Via Appia Antica, less than 2 km away, with its original Roman paving still visible, the Tomb of Cecilia Metella and the Catacombs of San Callisto, Domitilla and Pretestato, all of which can also be explored by bicycle in milder months. In summer, the seasonal outdoor pool and the hotel garden offer a refuge from the city heat, while in winter the sun terrace remains a good vantage point over the neighbourhood. For those wishing to head to the historic centre, many bus lines connect Ardeatino to Piazza Venezia and Trastevere in about 30-40 minutes.
