Situated at 55 Via delle Carrozze, the Rome 55 luxury guest house is literally opposite the famous Spanish Steps located in Piazza di Spagna which is one of the most famous squares in Rome and derives its name from the Spanish Embassy to the Holy See which is located here.

The Spanish Steps are actually the stairs that lead from Piazza di Spagna up to the church of the Trinita’ dei Monti.

Perennially the meeting point of Romans for generations, the Spanish Steps is ever a vibrant and energetic scene, which in the summer burst forth visually in colourful flowers that adorn the steps. It is thus no surprise that the English Romantic poet John Keats lived at the foot of the steps, and indeed his house has been converted into a museum of him and his close friend & writer Percy Shelley who both used to marvel and observe the charming Italian characters that frequent this area.

For shopping, Via del Corso lies just a 2-minute walk away with more affordable brands and style at your fingertips. This street runs from Piazza Venezia (close to the Imperial Roman Forum and the Colosseum) up to Piazza del Popolo and guests can also marvel at art and architecture at the end of their shopping spree.

Villa Borghese also lies at Piazza del Popolo and this huge green park is breathtakingly tranquil and cultured with all manner of statues, fountains, walks, museums and art galleries inside.

Of course Piazza di Spagna also boasts an underground metro station meaning that guests to the Rome 55 guest house can be at all of the city’s major tourist attractions within minutes including the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel (just 3 stops away), the Trevi Fountain (a short walk or 1 stop away), the Basilica of St Maria Maggiore (4 stops away) and the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano (6 stops away).
