Wow what a great tour! I missed Campo di Fiori when I visited Rome in 2005, so this time I'm staying in an apartment right in the square, and I'm taking plenty of notes from your video. Thanks so much!
Juat returned from our first trip to Italy..We stayed only three nights but am.so grateful of all the information I received from several of your videos. We stayed at the Hotel Compo De Fiore at your recommemdation and were very pleased. It was a great location as you said. We dined ar Marriucias restaurant ,had sandwiches at the Forno in the Piazza walked to most of the attractions and took the metro and bus using Google maps as you suggested.. It was very helpful and conforting to know how to get around before we visited Rome..I really enjoy the way you used the maps to show us how to navigate the city...thanks so much and wishing you much success qith this vlog.
Your are so informative in the right way, precise and eloquent. Easy to understand by demonstration with google earth, great idea. Thank you for all the effort and keep it up!
Glad it was helpful! I just repeased a new video today about the Monti area that you may find helpful if you are planning a trip to Rome. Thanks for watching!
Excellent thank you. After watching your video I'm glad I changed our hotel from Trestavere to Regola area. We appreciate a little respite from the full on crowds. Also confirmed that walking distance to most of the sites very doable for a couple of 65yr olds. Grazie
This video and the other I just watched have been so handy! We are staying at Hotel Compo De Fiore and stumbled across this and goodness, it was so good to see everything all in one video! Thanks and keep it up :)
Your videos are insightful and entertaining to watch. We're going to Rome for three days the end of October and are taking your advice based of this video regarding the location you suggested. We're staying at Hotel Demaso. Pricey but very nice. Can you offer any advice on public restrooms in Rome while touring the sites? How to find them if necessary. Also, have you guys traveled to Civitavecchia to board a cruise ship before? What is the best method of transportation? Maybe a video about this? Thank you!
Have you considered Airbnb? This far out you can get a really good one for a reasonable price. As far as bathrooms Al the bars throughout the city essentially the public bathrooms. Sometimes they want 1 euro but not usually and always free if you are a customer. Most are clean but not always perfect. Advice after every meal use the restaurants bathroom. There is a train 2 or three times an hour that you catch at Termini or St Peter station near the Vatican. Only a few euros. Taxi will cost 80 more or less
Great video. Our apartment is right above corner pizza which serves tiramisu I believe. Have you been to Cafe Farnese, that will be my local spot for cornetti e caffe.
Makes getting great pizza easy. Do you like it better than Alice Pizza that is in the same piazza? Yes I have been to cafe Farnese I got a Cornetto icecream whae I was there last. Nice place!
Your videos are highly informative. My wife and I will be visiting in May 2024. Question: Years ago, we used Eurail to explore some countries. Do they still have those information kiosks marked with "I' at major train stations where you can make pensione and hotel reservations. Our aim is not to prebook accommodations so we can have a much more flexible itinerary. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated. We will be travelling from USA/Nevada.
May is a very busy month with great weather but do not go to Rome without reservations. It crazy in May last minute accommodations will likely cost hundreds more than if you pre-book now. A small crappie 1 bedroom can cost as much as $500 or more. I know it doesn’t give you flexibility but at least you will have a bed to sleep in. Sorry for the bad news. Other cities are much easier to get a room but Rome room should be secured asap
Thanks for the great presentations with location maps, personal experiences and suggestions. Do you have any accomodation recommendations for this area for a family of three (ie-apartment, air bnb...) travelling in November 2024? Thanks.
Sorry for the slow response I thought I responded. Here is a link to a great airbnb in Trastevere. It is much nicer than the pictures. One of the best and reasonably prices.www.airbnb.com/rooms/30278431?source_impression_id=p3_1708822070_Ra66ezUlkB92vibn I think you will love this place
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing this with us all - very helpful & very interesting! That's definitely where we will be staying next time we go to Rome 👍👍
Sorry, but I must correct you. I've seen it now in several videos and am surprised no one has corrected you yet in all these months. I can only assume they think you a tourist. It is not Torre Argentina. No matter what the formal sign on the building says. There are plenty of roads and piazzas that have a longer formal name, yet called the shortened version. It is Largo Argentina. This is my old neighbourhood growing up. I used to call it Kitty Cat Palace since the ruins have such a large stray cat population. They even have an adoption agency that locals can adopt one. And they've even just recently opened up the ruins for people to go down into. They'd been closed for decades. Great area to live.
We stayed in an airbnb on via Leonina in Monti on our first visit last November. We were very, very happy with this location as far as walkability to everything. The Metro was a 3 minute walk. The only irritant was the noise - people coming and going in the building early in the morning and late at night, restaurant employees throwing out bottles late at night and trash collection early in the morning. I'm strongly considering a new location for our upcoming visit, either Campo di Fiori or Largo di Torre d'Argentina after watching your videos, but I'm getting the impression after reading Airbnb reviews from different locations in the historic area that to expect a quiet place to sleep is unrealistic when most lodging are in apartment buildings or hotels. Do you have an opinion on this. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
That is what is great about Campo dei Fiori, outside the square itself if has many quite locations. Read the reviews of the airbnb before deciding many will mention the noise if a problem or not. Give it a try
Just discovered your channel. I’m enjoying your videos. We’re going to be in Rome in July for 2 1/2 days. Going on a cruise. What do you think about staying at one of the hotels by the airport? Is it too far away from the Vatican City and the Colosseum?
Yeah, it is kind of far. Not much out there other than the airport. I recommend getting into the city.. if things are getting very expensive in the city, I recommend staying in Tivoli about a 45 minute train ride from Rome but at least there you’re in a really fun city and you can take the train in to Rome and from Rome you can take another train to the cruise lines. The train from Tivoli to Rome cost around three euros one way.
Good vid! We found the metro was useless to us as tourists. Did not go near where we wanted to go. Stayed at the Indigo, near where you are describing.
Metro is good for a few places. Spanish steps, the Vatican, Villa, Borges, the Roman aqueducts. Most of old town, you need taxis, buses, or foot. Thanks for watching the video.
I'm planning a trip for my 50th birthday May 2025. I love to eat authentic when traveling. It's my 1st time, but would you recommend this location or Trastevere across the river? And are hotels better or Airbnb? Thank you. Your info and videos are excellent!
First time try to stay near Largo Argentina and Campo de' Fiori. You can still head over to Trastevere in the evening easily by short less than 10 minute walk. This way you will be more central to more things. I usually stay in Airbnb as I like having a kitchen. I have stayed at Hotel Campo de' Fiori and it is very nice. Book you place 6 month in advance and you will have a great selection of best places. AirBnb usually lets you cancel 30 days out with out any penalties should your plans change. Any questions just ask.
Your videos are incredible! Could you recommend a hotel that is more likely to be quiet and in the right area? We were hoping to find a place serving breakfast (not just continental) and around $200-350. a night. We love being near shops and restaurants but don't like noisy areas. One place I considered had a loud music restaurant on the ground floor. We will be in town April 24 - 26.
Have you considered an Airbnb? I know of a great one. www.airbnb.com/rooms/3666913?adults=2&check_in=2024-04-24&check_out=2024-04-26&source_impression_id=p3_1709404801_d5OVM0pIwY5Xrj2T&previous_page_section_name=1000&federated_search_id=65606032-92d8-488a-b351-87a47af6fcb5 You may have to copy and past the link. It is called "Campo de Fiori Apartment - La Violante" While it does not serve breakfast it does has a kitchen and lots of places just outside to grab a bit to eat that will be better than most hotels. I almost always stay in Airbnb so I am not real familiar with hotels. I hope you have a great trip!
after adding all of the fees it is about $300 a day. There are other good ones nearby and some for less. With an Airbnb it is best to stay in ones with at least a 4.7 and with more than 50 reviews. The reviews can be very helpful to make a decision. Book sooner than later as the good ones will fill up. Best of luck.
I said Torre Argentina area. The Jewish Ghetto is part of that area but there are limited hotels or airbnb there. In this new video I tried to expand on the area a bit and give a better idea of where to stay. I have spent the month of December in Campo Dei Fiori area & I just wanted to update the video and give a better idea of where to stay. I was not specific enough in the first video of where to stay. Sorry if it was confusing.
@rozierroama you are never confusing I love all your videos , I am going to Rome in May 2024 maybe I can change my airbnb. You have given me and my friend hours of enjoyment ! Thank you 😊

That’s awesome! So happy you had a great time and thank you so much for taking the time to get back to me even after your trip let me know
You should have more subs, this channel is a hidden gem! Keep up the great tips.
Maybe one day! I appreciate your support.

Awesome, thank you! I hope you find the videos entertaining and helful.
We’re going to Rome for the first time and booked our hotel in the area you have recommend!! Thanks so much! 😊
Hope you enjoy it!
Excellent thank you. After watching your video I'm glad I changed our hotel from Trestavere to Regola area. We appreciate a little respite from the full on crowds. Also confirmed that walking distance to most of the sites very doable for a couple of 65yr olds. Grazie
You will find you can easily access Trastevere and enjoy it while staying in a more central and less crowded area. Good choice!
This video and the other I just watched have been so handy! We are staying at Hotel Compo De Fiore and stumbled across this and goodness, it was so good to see everything all in one video! Thanks and keep it up :)
Hotel Campo de Fiori is a very good choice nice hotel. Have a great trip!
This is an awesome video. We are staying in that area just about two blocks south of Pantheon. Can't wait.
Enjoy Rome!
love this! Great information_ planning a trip to Rome for mid-October _ 😀
Glad to hear. Hope you have a great time
Will be staying in Campo de Fiori the last two weeks of February. Thanks for the great vid!
Have fun I think you are really going to love it. Be sure to comment when you get back I would be interested in hearing your thoughts
Late Feb is one of favorite times to be in Rome

I know this, because last May I got stuck without a place in the first part of May and ended up having to go to Tivoli to find something reasonable.

Great to hear. I really think you will love it. Just remember to get familiar with all the things around it so you can take advantage of everything.
@@RozierRoma I most certainly will, but your videos help a LOT 😊😊
One more tip try not to stay right in the Campo dei Fiori square, it is a bit too noisy
@@RozierRoma Got it! Thank you very much!

Are the stray cats mostly in the ruins? Or all over Rome in general?

Could you recommend some hotels in Compo De Fiori?
Hotal Campo De' Fiori & Town House Campo De' Fiori are both very nice hotels as well as several Airbnb's in the area. Just pick a high rated one.
No to air anything
😫😫😫 i booked an apartment in the Monti area cos i wanted to be close to the Colosseum. Now I'm worried.
I’m doing a video on Monti shortly. I just spent a week there. It was wonderful. Don’t be worried. You’ll love it.
Alright thanks
I watched your older video that said the jewish ghetto was the best place to stay in Rome ?
