Villa della Fonte is a bed and breakfast housed in an 18th-century palazzo in the Trastevere district of Rome, just 30 metres from Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere.
The property occupies a historic building without a lift, reached via a flight of stairs, and retains an intimate, refined atmosphere that reflects the character of the neighbourhood. The rooms, air-conditioned and simply furnished, feature a minibar, flat-screen TV, safe and private bathroom with hairdryer and toiletries: a solution designed for those seeking functionality without giving up the charm of an authentic setting.
In the morning, a sweet and savoury breakfast is served with baked goods, cured meats, eggs and fresh fruit, also available in a gluten-free version. The shared terrace offers an outdoor space to pause between strolls through the alleys of Trastevere. Campo de’ Fiori is about 10 minutes away on foot, while Piazza Navona and the historic centre are just over a kilometre away, making Villa della Fonte a convenient base for exploring Rome on foot.

The property occupies an 18th-century palazzo just 30 metres from Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere, the pulsing heart of the area, and a few dozen metres from restaurants such as Ci-Lin and Osteria der Belli and venues such as Bibli, a historic bookshop with a café.

Rome’s airports are both accessible by car or shuttle, with Ciampino 13 km away and Fiumicino about 17.7 km away.

Those wanting to venture further will find Largo di Torre Argentina just over a kilometre away and, about 1.9 km away, the Colosseum with the Imperial Forums: distances that make the area an excellent base both for evening strolls among Trastevere’s venues and for days dedicated to the city’s great monuments.
