Hi All!
First trip to Rome and Italy in October. Looking for recommendations for places to stay in Rome and Florence. We are meeting our son and his wife in Tuscany and will do a Villa together there.
Our travels will be Rome, Florence, Tuscany and Cinque Terre and back to Rome for flight home.
Thank you and sorry for my first post in the trip Forum by mistake!

We prefer the area in Centro Storico near Pantheon/ P Navonna/ Campo de’ Fiori
You can walk most everywhere in Rome from there
Booking. Com is a good place to research, set your filters for budget, location, AC, etc
Read the reviews
You can book there or go to hotel website
Once you find a place you like, don’t hesitate to book. Availability is already limited
If you are unsure of a place, ask about it here

In October 2022, I stayed at Basilio 55 in Rome for 5 nights and really liked it. It’s on the north side of Piazza Barberini and walking distance to many sites. Easy access to bus, metro, and taxi stand. I got a Double Superior room that had a queen sized bed, small fridge, desk, and wardrobe. The bed was very comfortable. Lots of nearby restaurants. They had a small breakfast available for purchase 6 mornings a week (not Sundays) with your coffee made to order. Have fun in Italy, it’s wonderful!
