Habitat Monti is located in the Monti district, one of Rome’s oldest and most characterful neighbourhoods, made up of cobbled alleys, artisan workshops and small spots that liven up the evenings especially around Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, about 350 metres from the property. It’s an area that combines neighbourhood life with extreme proximity to the main monuments, without the traffic of the more touristy thoroughfares.
The location is also convenient for those getting around by public transport: Cavour metro station is 250 metres away, while Termini, the city’s main railway hub, can be reached in under 800 metres on foot. The Colosseum is about 750 metres away, the Imperial Forums 950 metres, and the Trevi Fountain just under a kilometre. For those arriving by air, Ciampino Airport is about 12 km away and the property offers a paid shuttle on request, while Fiumicino is about 20 km away.
Just steps away are also the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, the National Roman Museum and the Domus Aurea, which with its frescoed underground rooms is one of the most striking attractions in the Celio-Oppio district. Walking towards the centre, Piazza Venezia and Piazza di Spagna can be reached in a few minutes, while the early evening hours are ideal for a drink among the bars of the district, such as those around via del Boschetto. In every season the area is well suited to being explored on foot, with the advantage of being able to alternate between archaeological sites, museums and neighbourhood life without ever straying too far from the accommodation.
