RomAntic Dreams is a bed & breakfast in the San Giovanni district of Rome, about 400 metres from the Re di Roma metro station and 2 km from the Colosseum.
The property offers four room types, all with private bathroom, air conditioning, soundproofed walls and flat-screen TV with streaming services. Room sizes range from 18 to 20 square metres, and some accommodations feature a balcony, city view and bathtub; one of the rooms, set up as a small suite, also includes a complimentary bottle of wine or champagne for guests. In the morning, an Italian-style breakfast with croissants and cappuccino is served, offered in continental and buffet versions.
The location, in one of the busiest areas of the capital, is particularly appreciated by couples, who rated it 8.9 for a stay for two: the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano can be reached in a 10-minute walk, while the Baths of Caracalla and the Colosseum are about 1.5-2 km away. It is a suitable choice for those who want to explore Rome on foot or by metro, while still staying just a few minutes from Ciampino Airport.
RomAntic Dreams offers four types of double rooms, designed for couples or small groups of up to three people. All share a private bathroom with toiletries and bathrobes, air conditioning, soundproofed walls, flat-screen TV with streaming services and a coffee machine: features that make every stay comfortable regardless of the room chosen.
The differences mainly concern size and distinctive details. The 20 and 19 square metre rooms offer a city view and a bathtub, while the 18 square metre room stands out for its private external bathroom, located right in front of the room. The fourth room type is set up as a small suite with a walk-in shower, a bathtub and a complimentary bottle of wine or champagne for guests, plus a single bed paired with the large double bed to accommodate up to three people.
With its 20 square metres, this is one of the largest rooms in the property. It features a balcony with city view, a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and bathtub, bidet, bathrobes and toiletries. The seating area and tea/coffee set complete an accommodation designed for a more spacious stay, also suitable for a third guest thanks to the single bed paired with the double bed.
The most compact of the available rooms, designed for two people, stands out for its external private bathroom located right in front of the room. It still features a balcony and the same air conditioning and soundproofing features as the other accommodations, in a more intimate and cosy setting.
Set up as a small suite, it is the only accommodation to offer a complimentary bottle of welcome wine or champagne for guests. The en-suite bathroom features both a walk-in shower and a bathtub, while the soundproofed walls and tea/coffee set ensure a private stay, ideal for a special occasion in Rome.
At 19 square metres, this room offers a city view and bathtub like the larger accommodations, but without a balcony. The bathroom with walk-in shower, bidet and bathrobes, combined with the extra single bed, also makes it suitable for a third guest looking for a scenic space.
RomAntic Dreams offers free WiFi throughout the property and air conditioning in every room, along with services designed to make the stay convenient: luggage storage, private and express check-in and check-out, daily housekeeping and shuttle service, also useful for connections to Rome’s airports. There is also a lift to reach the upper floors and a common area with a TV zone.
Every room has a private bathroom with complimentary bath products, bathrobe and hairdryer, as well as bed linen and, in several accommodations, a bathtub. Guests also have access to a shared kitchen with fridge, electric kettle, microwave and kitchen utensils.
For meals, the property offers an on-site café, fruit and the option to have breakfast directly in the room, with a kettle for tea and a coffee machine in every room. Pets are allowed on request, with a possible surcharge, while smoking is not permitted in any indoor area.
RomAntic Dreams is located in the San Giovanni district, one of the liveliest and best-connected residential areas of Rome, just steps from the large square of the same name and the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano. The neighbourhood blends period buildings with local bars and restaurants, offering a more authentic atmosphere than the touristy historic centre, while still being just a few minutes away from it.
The Re di Roma metro station is just 400 metres away, while the San Giovanni stop, at the crossing of the A lines, is about 350 metres away: from here, the historic centre and main monuments can be reached in just a few stops. The Colosseum is 1.6 km away, the Baths of Caracalla 1.4 km, and the Domus Aurea 1.5 km; Ciampino Airport, the closest one, is about 10 km away, while Fiumicino is just over 20 km away.
Those staying in the area can dedicate a day to the archaeological area of the Celio, strolling between the Baths of Caracalla and the Domus Aurea, or head towards the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums following a walk of about 20-25 minutes. Nearby there are also urban parks such as Parco San Sebastiano and Giardino Nicola Calipari, handy for a break away from the traffic. In the evening, the restaurants and bars just a few dozen metres from the B&B, such as those around via Fregene, offer a quieter alternative to the venues in the centre, ideal for those who prefer to dine without straying too far from their accommodation.
