Location & what to see

Residenza San Calisto is located in the heart of Trastevere, Rome’s most authentic and lively district, just a few metres from Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere, the beating heart of the neighborhood with its basilica and fountains. Around the property you’ll find cobbled alleys, artisan workshops, traditional restaurants such as Enoteca Trastevere and Arco di San Calisto, both about 40 metres away, and evening venues that keep the area lively until late at night.

The location allows you to reach many of the main attractions of the historic centre on foot: Piazza Trilussa is 300 metres away, the Janiculum Promenade is 450 metres away, while Villa Farnesina, with its Renaissance frescoes, is about 550 metres away. Piazza Navona and Campo de’ Fiori are 700-800 metres away, and Castel Sant’Angelo, Piazza San Pietro and the Colosseum can be reached in about 1.5-2 km.
