Minerva Relais is a charming bed & breakfast set in a historic building in the heart of Rome, just 300 metres from the Pantheon and a short walk from Piazza Navona.
The property is designed for those who want to experience the historic centre without giving up modern comforts: all rooms feature air conditioning, wooden floors, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a kettle and a Nespresso machine. The private bathrooms come with a shower, bathrobe, slippers and toiletries. Some room types offer a balcony and city views, while others focus on extra space and soundproofing for a quieter stay.
The location is one of the most appreciated features: Trevi Fountain is a five-minute walk away, the Colosseum a quarter of an hour, while restaurants, historic cafés such as Tazza d’Oro and iconic squares like Piazza Venezia and Largo di Torre Argentina are just metres from the entrance. An ideal address for those who want to explore Rome on foot, moving between art, history and everyday Roman life without ever straying far from the centre.

Minerva Relais is located in the Pantheon district, in the very heart of historic Rome, an area of alleyways, Renaissance palaces and squares that have for centuries formed the pulsing centre of the city. The property occupies a historic building on Via Piè di Marmo, just steps from Palazzo Doria Pamphilj and the church of Sant’Ignazio, in a pedestrian setting full of shops, historic cafés and restaurants.
The Pantheon is just 300 metres away, while Piazza della Rotonda can be reached in under 5 minutes on foot. Trevi Fountain is about 450 metres away, Piazza Navona 500 metres and Piazza Venezia just over 250 metres: distances that make the entire historic centre explorable without the need for transport. For those arriving by train, Termini Station is about 1.9 km away, while Barberini metro station is about 1 km away. Ciampino and Fiumicino airports are about 13 and 18 km away respectively.
The area lends itself to intense cultural tourism all year round: in the hotter months it’s worth visiting the monuments in the early morning, while in winter squares such as Campo de’ Fiori and Largo di Torre Argentina remain lively even in the evening. From here it’s easy to organise walks to the Colosseum and the Imperial Fora, about 700 m-1 km away, or evenings among the venues of Trastevere, a little further afield.
