Residenza Gens Julia is a bed & breakfast in the historic centre of Rome, just steps from Largo di Torre Argentina, the archaeological site where Julius Caesar died.
The property occupies the third floor of a historic building reachable by lift and offers four room types, all air-conditioned and soundproofed, with flat-screen TV, minibar and a tea and coffee making set: from the Superior Double Room with views over the archaeological ruins to the spacious 55 m² Family Room designed for larger groups. In the morning, guests find an Italian buffet breakfast.
The Pantheon and Piazza Navona are just a five-minute walk away, while Campo de’ Fiori and the Trevi Fountain are a few hundred metres away. The area is well served by trams and buses, with direct connections to Termini Station in about ten minutes. Thanks to its location, particularly appreciated by couples who rated it 10 out of 10, Gens Julia is aimed above all at those who want to explore the historic centre on foot, without giving up the comfort of quiet, air-conditioned rooms right in the heart of the capital.
