The Jolly Hotel Villa Carpegna Rome is a modern hotel which is set in its very own landscaped gardens. The gardens themselves are a sight to see. The hotel is located next to the city’s expansive Villa Pamphili park which overlooks the Roman rooftops west of the historic city center, under 2 kilometers from Saint Peter’s Basilica. If you’ve gotten tired of being a tourist in the city, guests of the Jolly Hotel Villa Carpegna Rome can soak up the sun on the terraces surrounding the outdoor swimming pool. The hotel is known for comfort, value and friendly attention of welcoming staff. It will almost feel like you’ve never left home but with great scenic views.

Another hotel that I liked is Starhotels Michelangelo Rome. It’s a 4 star hotel located close to Saint Peter Square in the heart of baroque Rome. It’s the best place to stay at if you’re planning to visit Saint Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums. The Sistine Chapel is also just a short distance away. The hotel is also just walking distance from the complex of Castel Sant’Angelo with its museum and the stroll along the Tiber embankment. A stay in one of the rooms of Starhotels Michelangelo Rome also offers a magical view of the Dome of Saint Peter’s Cathedral.

The third hotel that I liked lies just a mere hundred yards from Piazza San Pietro and the spiritual home of the Catholic church. The Emmaus Hotel is a 3 star hotel in Rome that has great access to the Vatican and all its treasures. It’s a great place to stay at for pilgrims and tourists alike. Like the Starhotels Michelangelo Rome, the Emmaus Hotel also features rooms with views of the dome of Saint Peter’s Cathedral. This hotel offers a refreshing and homely atmosphere by combining practicality and convenience with the peaceful ambiance.

Is it obvious that I haven’t strayed too far away when it comes to the sights I went to see in Rome? It looks like I definitely need to expand more on the Roman horizons and see more of the city. If you have any place at all that you can suggest, feel free to say so. These are just some of my choices for accommodations. I’m open to knowing any of yours.
