We are located in Monteverde Vecchio, on the Janiculum, one of Rome’s most beautiful and romantic spots! This is a residential area, with refined vintage mansions, elegant apartment houses and streets it’s a pleasure to stroll along.
La Pera Volpina is situated in a quiet street lined with thorn bush and oleander trees, in the heart of the neighbourhood, between via Giacinto Carini and viale dei Quattro Venti, adjacent to the Vascello Theatre and the parish Church of Santa Maria Regina Pacis, and a short walk away from Quattro Venti urban railway station.
It really is a refuge from the chaos of the city, while being in a central position, a few minutes away from the nightlife of Trastevere and Testaccio.
An area well served by buses, metro, trains, tram, connected to the whole city:
you’ll stay in the centre of Rome, but far from traffic and in a neighbourhood chosen by artists, professionals, students, families, etc.;
you’ll experience the city while enjoying the greenery around you, the huge parks and historical gardens;
you’ll live in a residential area, without any fears about returning home alone late at night.
Monteverde is a safe neighbourhood, coming home at night is by no means risky:
you’ll have everything you need at your doorstep;
you’ll travel easily to the historical centre of Rome and to and from railway stations and airports using public transport.
