Eco B&B Marela is a family-run bed and breakfast in the Portuense district of Rome, just 850 metres from Roma Trastevere Railway Station and 1.3 km from the Basilica San Paolo metro stop.
The property offers three types of air-conditioned rooms, all with private bathroom, flat-screen TV and free WiFi: solutions designed for both couples and small groups, with sizes ranging from 14 to 16 square metres and some featuring a balcony or city view. Breakfast, served every morning, alternates Italian dishes with a buffet.
Guests staying here can rely on a bicycle rental service to explore the Tiber and the city’s parks, while private parking is available for a fee nearby. As there is no fixed reception desk, arrival times must be communicated to the hosts in advance. The location, especially appreciated by couples, allows Trastevere to be reached within minutes and the historic centre, with the Colosseum and Roman Forum, in about 20 minutes.
