Colosseo Relais is located in Rione Monti, one of the most characteristic districts of Rome’s historic centre, made up of alleyways, artisan workshops and small venues that still retain an authentic atmosphere despite the proximity to the major monuments. Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, 150 metres away, is the beating heart of the area and an excellent starting point for a walk among the imperial ruins.
The property is 550 metres from the Colosseum and Palatine Hill, 400 metres from the Imperial Forums and 850 metres from the Trevi Fountain, all comfortably reachable on foot. The Cavour and Colosseo metro stations are 400 and 350 metres away respectively, while Termini Station is about 20 minutes on foot. Fiumicino Airport is 19 km away, and Ciampino Airport is 12 km away.
Guests staying here can spend their days visiting the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Domus Aurea, then continue on to Piazza Venezia and Palazzo Venezia, home to a museum of ancient art. In the evening, the Monti district offers lively aperitivo spots among bars and restaurants just steps from the property, such as Alle Carrette and Avocado Bar, both less than 40 metres away. For those wanting to venture a little further, Piazza Navona and Piazza di Spagna are about 15-20 minutes on foot, making the area an excellent base for exploring Rome without frequently needing public transport.
