Relais del Portico is a guest house in the historic centre of Rome, on Via della Reginella, about 200 metres from the Great Synagogue and 700 metres from the Pantheon.
The property occupies a historic building in the Jewish Ghetto district and offers six room types, all air-conditioned, from the Deluxe Single designed for solo travellers to the Suite with a separate living area for families or small groups. All rooms have a private bathroom, flat-screen TV with streaming services, soundproofed walls and a wardrobe; several units offer views of the inner courtyard or the city’s rooftops. Shared facilities include a communal kitchen, TV lounge, luggage storage, private check-in and a paid airport shuttle for those arriving at Ciampino or Fiumicino.
The location, between Campo de’ Fiori, Piazza Venezia and Largo di Torre Argentina, is the feature guests appreciate most, giving it a score of 9.4. From here, Piazza Navona, the Capitoline Museums and the Trevi Fountain are all within walking distance, making Relais del Portico a convenient base for exploring Rome without needing public transport.
Relais del Portico offers six room types spread across a historic building in the centre of Rome, designed to suit different needs: from the 10 sqm Deluxe Single Room for solo travellers, to the Superior and Deluxe Doubles, up to the larger King Room and the 28 sqm Suite with a separate living room. All accommodations share air conditioning, a private bathroom with toiletries, a flat-screen TV with streaming services and soundproofed walls, a detail not to be taken for granted in a historic building in the heart of the city.
What sets the rooms apart are mainly the size, the view and the bed configuration: some overlook the quiet inner courtyard, others the rooftops and alleys of the Ghetto, while the Suite is the only one with an independent living room with a sofa bed, ideal for families or longer stays. Several rooms are also equipped with a coffee machine or a tea and coffee set, a small plus for breakfast on your own.
At 20 sqm, this is among the largest double rooms in the property. The private bathroom has a shower, bidet and hairdryer, while the in-room coffee machine is an amenity not shared by all room types. The view opens onto the inner garden, a distinctive feature compared to rooms facing the city’s rooftops.
Combining a single bed with a large double bed, this room can host up to three people, more than the Superior. The private bathroom includes a shower and bidet, and the inner courtyard view ensures more peace and quiet than rooms facing the street. An electric kettle for tea and infusions is also provided.
The most compact room in the property, designed for solo travellers, with two possible bed configurations to choose from. The private bathroom has a shower and hairdryer, and the room offers a city view as well as an electric kettle, handy for a tea or coffee on your own during the stay.
This is the largest accommodation and the only one with a living room separate from the sleeping area, ideal for families or groups of up to four people. The extra-large double bed is paired with two sofa beds, while the private bathroom with toiletries completes a solution that feels more like a small apartment than a hotel room.
At 22 sqm and with a combination of a single bed and an extra-large double bed, this room is designed for families or small groups wanting more space than the Deluxe Double. The private bathroom has a shower, bidet and hairdryer, and the view opens onto the city’s rooftops.
Designed for two people, it offers a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, and overlooks the inner courtyard, quieter than rooms facing the city. The tea and coffee making set completes a practical setup for short or business stays.

Relais del Portico is located on Via della Reginella, in the Jewish Ghetto district, one of the oldest and most characteristic areas of Rome’s historic centre, with cobbled alleys, artisan workshops and kosher trattorias just steps from the front door. The area retains an intimate atmosphere despite its proximity to tourist hubs such as Largo di Torre Argentina, just 200 metres to the north.
The location is 100% walkable: Piazza Navona is 150 metres away, Campo de’ Fiori 500 metres, and the Pantheon about 700 metres, all reachable without using public transport. For longer trips, Colosseo metro station is 1.2 km away and Cavour station 1.4 km; Rome Ciampino Airport is about 13 km away and Fiumicino Airport 18 km, both connected via the property’s paid shuttle service.
From here, it’s easy to plan days combining the great classical monuments with the more authentic neighbourhoods: the Imperial Forums and the Colosseum are about 1.4 km away, the Trevi Fountain 950 metres, while Trastevere, with its Piazza di Santa Maria, is just over 700 metres away. In the evening, the restaurants and bars of the Ghetto just steps from the property, such as those around Largo di Torre Argentina, offer a quieter alternative to the more touristy areas of the centre, ideal for those visiting Rome both in winter, among museums and indoor strolls, and in summer, when the historic squares come alive late into the night.
