Relais de l’Opera is a bed & breakfast set in a renovated 19th-century building in the Monti district of Rome, about 750 metres from the Trevi Fountain and a ten-minute walk from Roma Termini station.
The property offers four room types, all air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen satellite TV, private bathroom with toiletries and a tea and coffee-making set: from the more compact Double Room to the Superior Triple designed for families or small groups, up to the Deluxe with a Nespresso coffee machine and the Comfort with city views. Several rooms overlook a quiet interior courtyard, others face the street or the rooftops of the neighbourhood.
General services include a concierge, luggage storage, laundry and ironing service, bicycle rental and airport shuttle on request, as well as an in-house spa. The location in the heart of Monti, among alleyways, artisan workshops and evening venues, makes it suitable both for first-time visitors to Rome and for those seeking an elegant base close to the main archaeological sites and the nightlife of the historic centre.
The four rooms at Relais de l’Opera all feature air conditioning, soundproofing, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with toiletries and hairdryer, as well as a tea and coffee-making set for those who want a moment of relaxation in the room. Sizes range from 14 to 20 square metres and maximum occupancy varies from two to three guests, making the property suitable both for couples and for small groups or families with a child.
The Double Room is the most compact and overlooks either the interior courtyard or the street; the larger Superior Triple offers city views and a coffee machine; the Deluxe Double adds a Nespresso machine and a more refined toiletries set; the Comfort Double, with a bidet and minibar, also looks out over the city.
The most compact room in the property, at 14 sqm, is designed for those looking for the essentials without giving up comfort: private bathroom with toiletries and hairdryer, flat-screen satellite TV and a tea and coffee-making set. Unlike the other room types, it can overlook either the quiet interior courtyard or the street in the Monti district, depending on availability.
At 20 sqm, this is, together with the Deluxe, the most spacious room and the only one designed for three people, thanks to the combination of a single bed and a large double bed. It stands out for its city view and its in-room coffee machine, in addition to the private bathroom with toiletries: a practical choice for families with a child or small groups of friends.
This is the room type with the most refined amenities: at the same 20 sqm as the Superior Triple, it adds a Nespresso® coffee machine and a more luxurious toiletries set in the bathroom. Some rooms in this category overlook an interior courtyard, a detail that sets it apart from the other double rooms facing the street.
At 15 sqm, it is slightly larger than the standard Double Room and, among the double rooms, is the only one with a bidet in the bathroom in addition to the shower and toiletries set. It also features a minibar, cable channels and city views, a mix of details that make it a practical middle ground between the basic room and the Deluxe.
Relais de l’Opera provides guests with free WiFi in all areas, air conditioning and a concierge service available to organise walking or bicycle tours or the purchase of public transport tickets. Those arriving with heavy luggage can rely on the luggage storage service, while longer-staying guests will find daily housekeeping, laundry, ironing and dry-cleaning services.
General services also include a safe, key card access, 24-hour security and fire extinguishers, as well as meeting spaces and a business centre for those travelling on business. The property also has an in-house spa and wellness centre, a shuttle service on request and family rooms for those travelling with children. Rooms are equipped with a minibar, a kettle for tea and coffee and, in some cases, wine or champagne on request.
Relais de l’Opera is located in the Monti district, one of the oldest and liveliest neighbourhoods in central Rome, made up of cobbled alleys, artisan workshops, art galleries and small venues that bring Roman evenings to life. The building housing the property dates back to the 19th century and is located on Via Palermo, just steps from Piazza della Madonna dei Monti and the Parco del Ninfeo, a green oasis used by locals for a break away from the traffic.
In terms of transport links, Termini station can be reached in about ten minutes on foot, just 750 metres away, while the Repubblica – Teatro dell’Opera metro stop is 400 metres away and Cavour is 500 metres away, useful for those heading towards the Colosseum and the Forums. Fiumicino Airport is about 19 km away, and Ciampino Airport is 12 km away. Numerous bars and restaurants can be found in the immediate vicinity, such as Bombo and Piadina e Crescione, both just steps from the entrance.
Guests staying at Relais de l’Opera can reach the Trevi Fountain on foot in about 15 minutes, the Colosseum and the Roman Forum in just over a kilometre, and the Spanish Steps at 1.1 km. Nearby are also the Museo Nazionale Romano, 500 metres away, and the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, which hosts temporary exhibitions 200 metres from the property. The area is popular all year round, but on spring and summer evenings the outdoor tables of Monti bring the street to life until late at night, while in winter the many museums of the historic centre remain visitors’ favourite destination.
