Location & what to see

The property is located in the Appio Latino district, a quiet residential area southeast of Rome’s historic center, known for the nearby Parco degli Acquedotti Romani, just 550 meters away, where you can admire the remains of ancient aqueducts in a green, less touristy setting. The neighborhood retains a genuine local character, with small shops, bars and neighborhood trattorias concentrated just steps from the entrance.

The true strength of the location is the direct connection to the city center: the Lucio Sestio metro station, line A, is only 250 meters away, while Giulio Agricola station is 400 meters away. Within a few minutes by metro you can reach places like the Colosseum, about 6.5 km away, and the Roman Forum, 7.3 km away. Ciampino airport is about 6 km away, also reachable via the airport shuttle offered by the property, while Fiumicino is farther, about 24 km away.

For those wishing to explore the surroundings, in addition to the Parco degli Acquedotti Romani, there are Parco Lucio Mario Perpetuo at 1.1 km and the Catacombs of Saints Marcellinus and Peter at 2.3 km, a site of great historical interest less crowded than the more central catacombs. In summer, the area’s parks offer shaded spots for walks, while in cooler months the neighborhood is well suited to walking routes toward the archaeological remains of the aqueducts and toward the Tomb of Cecilia Metella, on the Via Appia Antica, about 3.3 km away.
