Vicolo del Governo Vecchio is one of the most characteristic streets of Rome’s historic centre, a pedestrian alley of Renaissance buildings halfway between Piazza Navona and Campo de’ Fiori. The area is animated by craft workshops, art galleries and small wine bars, and keeps a more intimate atmosphere compared to the main streets of the centre, despite being just steps from the city’s more lively side.
Piazza Navona is practically on the doorstep of the property, while Campo de’ Fiori is about 300 metres away and Castel Sant’Angelo 550 metres. Largo di Torre Argentina is 650 metres away, Piazza Venezia 1.1 km and the Trevi Fountain 1.2 km, as is St. Peter’s Square. For those arriving by train, Roma San Pietro station is 1.3 km away, while Ciampino and Fiumicino airports are 13 and 17 km away respectively, connected to the centre by shuttle bus and regional trains.
Just steps away are historic restaurants such as Al Braciere and Da Baffetto, a famous Roman pizzeria open for decades, as well as bars and wine shops such as Vini e Vinili for an evening aperitif. The Campo de’ Fiori market, open every morning, is perfect for browsing stalls of fruit and local produce, while Palazzo Braschi and the Pinacoteca of Palazzo Torres offer cultural options without leaving the neighbourhood. On summer evenings the squares of the historic centre come alive with street musicians and outdoor tables, while in winter the illuminated alleys create a more intimate and quiet atmosphere.
