The district is well suited to walks towards Castel Sant’Angelo, 1.2 km away, and Piazza del Popolo, a little further away, ideal for an evening among bridges and illuminated alleys. In the opposite direction, the Roma Natura urban park offers a green alternative just over a kilometre from the property, perfect for a break from the city traffic.
