This restored Renaissance palazzo lies on an ancient and narrow Roman street leading from the Campo dei Fiori to the Tiber. It is one of Rome's choice small inns. For lovers of landmarks and monuments, the location is idyllic, only a 10-minute stroll from the Piazza Navona. In neutral colors, the small to midsize bedrooms are handsomely furnished, often in cherry wood, and each comes with a moderate-size private bathroom lined with Siena marble and containing a tub/shower combination.
