Lungotevere Ripa is a guest house in Rome, in the Trastevere district, 1.4 km from Piazza Venezia, with rooms overlooking the Tiber river. The location, right on the riverside promenade, makes it possible to walk to Largo di Torre Argentina, the Pantheon and Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere, while the city centre and the Imperial Forums are about 1.1 km away.
The property offers two types of double rooms, both air-conditioned and with city views, designed for those seeking a well-appointed stay in the heart of the capital. Each unit has a private bathroom with shower, satellite flat-screen TV, minibar, coffee machine and soundproofed walls, features that ensure a good level of comfort even during the neighbourhood’s liveliest hours.
Particularly suited to couples, who according to reviews greatly appreciate the location, the property is a short distance from Palazzo Venezia, Campo de’ Fiori and the Tempio Maggiore. A paid airport shuttle is also available for Ciampino Airport, about 16 km away, useful for those arriving or departing without their own car.

The two room types available at Lungotevere Ripa share the same setup: air-conditioned spaces, private bathroom with shower and courtesy set, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, minibar, coffee machine and soundproofed walls to reduce neighbourhood noise. All units also offer city views, a feature that strongly characterises the stay given the riverside location.
The main difference between the two rooms is the size: the Standard measures 18 square metres, while the Deluxe reaches 23 square metres, offering guests more space. Both accommodate up to two people with one large double bed and are designed especially for couples looking for a comfortable base to explore Trastevere and Rome’s historic centre on foot.
The Standard Double Room is the most compact room type in the property, with 18 square metres of space. It has a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and courtesy set, air conditioning, satellite flat-screen TV and city views. Soundproofed walls and a minibar complete a practical solution for a stay for two.
Larger than the Standard, the Deluxe Double Room offers 23 square metres of space, five more than the basic room type. This unit is also air-conditioned and equipped with a private bathroom with shower, satellite TV, minibar and city views, but the larger size makes it the preferable choice for those wanting more room to breathe during their stay.
The property offers services designed for the convenience of guests visiting Rome, starting with private check-in and check-out and a daily housekeeping service. Those arriving by plane can rely on a paid airport shuttle, while those getting around the city will find public transport tickets available on request and a safe for valuables useful.
The rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, with parquet flooring and non-smoking rooms throughout the property; hypoallergenic solutions and dedicated rooms for allergy sufferers are also available. WiFi connection is free throughout the property.
Every room is equipped with a minibar, coffee machine, electric kettle and tea and coffee set, as well as a private bathroom with tub or shower and complimentary bathroom products. The river and city view is a distinctive feature of this guest house in the heart of Trastevere.
Lungotevere Ripa is located in Trastevere, on the banks of the Tiber, one of Rome’s most characteristic neighbourhoods, with cobbled alleys, historic eateries and a lively evening scene. A few metres from the property are restaurants such as I Vascellari and Da Enzo al 29, both about 50 metres away, ideal for enjoying traditional Roman cuisine without straying far from the river.
The central location makes it possible to walk to many of the capital’s main attractions: Circo Massimo metro station is about 900 metres away, while Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere is 700 metres away. The Colosseum is 1.2 km away, the Trevi Fountain 1.4 km, and Piazza Navona just over 1 km. For those arriving by plane, Ciampino Airport is about 12 km away, while Fiumicino is 18 km away; the property arranges a paid airport shuttle.
The neighbourhood is well suited to riverside walks toward the Temples of Portunus and Hercules Victor, just 200 metres away, or toward the Giardino degli Aranci, a panoramic viewpoint 350 metres away, particularly pleasant on summer evenings. In winter, Trastevere remains lively thanks to its markets and venues that stay open, while the Capitoline Museums, 600 metres away, offer a cultural alternative on colder or rainier days.
