When it comes to finding the perfect spot to stay in Rome, each neighborhood serves its own unique vibe. We've laid out the main characteristics of some top picks below, but hey, the choice is all yours – there's no one-size-fits-all here. Plus, living in the city center means you're just a stroll away from whichever area you would like to visit.

Let's start with the Spanish Steps area – it's like the chic beating heart of Rome. Picture posh vibes, high-end shops, and jaw-dropping Trevi Fountain moments. Sure, it's a bit touristy, but it's also close to other main sights like Villa Borghese and Piazza del Popolo.

Feeling artsy and bohemian? Trastevere is your spot. Cross the Tiber River, and you're in for narrow cobblestone streets, vibrant nightlife, and legit Roman restaurants. For a more local vibe with great nightlife and restaurants, we would also recommend Testaccio (this is where we live).

Monti is right in the center and delivers ancient charm – think trendy boutiques, vintage shops, and funky cafes. Prati, next to the Vatican, is the perfect blend of residential chill and classy shopping streets. You're practically neighbors with the St. Peter's Basilica, so that's pretty sweet.

If you're all about soaking up Rome's history, the Historical Centre (Centro Storico) is your go-to. Pantheon and Piazza Navona are right around the corner, making it a literal stroll through the city's rich past.

For a slightly less crowded vibe, say hello to San Saba. It's a laid-back residential area with parks and gardens – a tranquil escape without losing that city charm.

So, whether you're into posh, nightlife, historic, or more laidback, Rome's got a neighborhood that fits you. If living close to the wedding venue is on your radar, around Appia Pignatelli is your spot. Just keep in mind, while it's close to the center, it might not be as convenient for soaking up all that Rome has to offer during your stay. Choose wisely and make Rome your own!
