Location & what to see

Hotel San Giovanni Roma is located in the San Giovanni district, one of the liveliest and most central areas of the capital, full of local bars, restaurants and shops. Just 100 meters away are eateries such as Il Brigante, Pizza Viola and Marcaffè, convenient for a meal without going too far, while Piazza San Giovanni in Laterano, dominated by the basilica of the same name, is about 800 meters on foot.

The Colosseum can be reached in just over 15 minutes on foot (1.4 km), as can the Domus Aurea, at practically the same distance.

The district also allows for more relaxed walks in Parco San Sebastiano or at Villa Osio, green areas useful for a break away from city traffic. With a little more time available, in about 20-25 minutes on foot you can also reach the Roman Forum, Piazza Venezia and, going a bit further, the Trevi Fountain, making the area a practical base for exploring much of Rome’s historic center on foot.
