The 16 Best B&Bs in Rome

One of the best things about staying in a B&B is the personalised recommendations you get from the owners and managers, and from the other travellers or locals you meet during your stay. With this in mind, our hotel experts have uncovered the very best B&Bs in Rome selected on their location, design, amenities, and (of course) hosts. Whether you are looking for a grand converted palazzo or a chic contemporary boutique property, there is something to suit almost all tastes and budgets. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next city break?

For luxury

La Scelta di Goethe is a superlative small B&B offering just two superb luxury suites. The suites feature plush rooms and splendid living spaces with views out over the Vatican and Trinità dei Monti. A 24-hour butler will cater to guests' every need. Indulgence at every turn.
Residenza Ruspoli Bonaparte is another all suite stay. This 16th-century palazzo comprises just three suites. Each is more reminiscent of an apartment with ample space, ceiling frescoes, gilded chandeliers and four-poster beds — the best even has its own library! Even better it's located slap bang in the heart of the city.

For the location

Casa Montani is a gorgeous little guesthouse situated on the Piazza del Popolo, a short stroll from the Spanish Steps and close to many of Rome's best shopping streets. Its rooms and suites are beautifully finished, plus it's a family-friendly option.
The Fifteen Keys Hotel is an elegant, 15 room townhouse in a great location between the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain. The neighbourhood is charming, with a bohemian feel and plenty of cafes and a great antique shop. Breakfast is served alfresco in the courtyard.

For city style

In the heart of Rome, the Piazza di Spagna 9 is a six-bedroom ‘designer mansion’ with its own contemporary art gallery. As well as the six individually decorated rooms there’s also a steam bath.
Buonanotte Garibaldi is a chic little B&B in the vibrant and historic Trastevere district, which is a great spot for local colour. There are just three rooms, themed by colour, with silk paintings, oak floors and antiques.
In one of the hippest spots in town, G-Rough is both luxurious and hip. This townhouse, built in the 17th-century, still has its beautiful parquet floors and original tiles, but it’s also got a fantastic collection of retro furniture in the 10 rooms. Plus there's a fab roof terrace and it’s only 450 metres from the Pantheon and even closer to the Piazza Navona.
My Navona is a smart design hotel located a stone's throw from the Pantheon in Rome. Conceived by two Italian architects, the hotel offers individually styled rooms in pleasing pastel tones with original terracotta floors and unique Italian design pieces. In-room served breakfasts are a real plus.
Banco 19 is an intimate and romantic B&B. Airy communal spaces lead to two minimal yet warm rooms, complete with vast bathrooms and wood accents. Enjoy breakfast before heading out to take in Rome's offerings. A welcome modern twist on a classic stay.

For a boutique B&B

Casa Fabbrini Campo Marzio is a 16th-century townhouse, turned boutique B&B, in central Rome. Think country-style interiors with a modern twist, featuring exposed wooden beams and designer furniture. The uniquely decorated rooms exude rustic charm and a warm welcoming ambience. A charming choice.
Domus Libera is an intimate boutique hotel located in the historic centre of Rome. Rooms are dressed in a simple, elegant style and boast exposed wooden beams. Expect Italian design pieces, Hermès toiletries and plush Rivolta Carmignani bedding. A stylish stay.
Residenze Torre Colonna is a chic boutique offering a central location with spectacular views. Romantic bedrooms have four-poster beds, whitewashed walls, and modern art. Book this for the exclusive rooftop views, the hot tub, and the setting near galleries and designer shops. Very trendy.

For great value

The Althea Inn is a three-roomed B&B off the beaten track in the artistic Testaccio area. Rooms are spacious and whitewashed and there’s a lovely private balcony.
If you want to be right in the heart of things, by the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain, try the Residenza Frattina, a charming townhouse with 13 neutrally decorated bedrooms with nice original features, such as stone floors, fireplaces and exposed beams. Charming and friendly too.
Amaranto Romano is located in an impressive 19th-century building with a pretty courtyard. A small, well-run guesthouse with whitewashed rooms and contemporary bathrooms complemented by original features throughout with sculptures and domed ceilings. Well-positioned in the historic centre within easy reach of Rome's sights and offered at excellent rates.

For couples

The Hotel Campo de 'Fiori is a gorgeous, 23 room boutique hotel with a fantastic roof terrace with wonderful views of the skyline. Rooms are romantic, with canopied beds and frescoed ceilings, antiques and beautiful details.
