A B&B set in the artsy Testaccio neighbourhood, the Althea Inn has three rooms and three penthouse suites available. White-washed walls and simple Mediterranean decor make for a relaxing escape from the bustle below, but it’s the private balconies attached to the penthouse suites that make this stay special. Filled with flowers and with great views over Rome, they’re the perfect spot for breakfast, an afternoon in the sun, or an evening glass of wine. A stay here means you’ll have attractions like the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls and the Baths of Caracalla nearby.

In fact, the B&B’s three bedrooms are named after the famous Italian actresses: Sophia Loren, Monica Vitti and Anna Magnani. Breakfast features freshly baked bread, eggs, prosciutto, fruit and yoghurt, all served on one of the two sprawling terraces that provide impressive views of Rome.
