Not a pub, but a bed & breakfast near the Colosseum. The rooms are beautiful, as lovely as we have seen in four-star hotels. The host couple is very kind. They helped us plan our time and suggested some great restaurants.

Being very interested in the Vatican museums, we decided to find a hotel which allowed me to reach the area in a snap - considering the huge lines that I knew I had to front. I was impressed by Colors Hotel. The staff was helpful in many occasions during our stay. The rooms are not what I'd call top luxury but were nice and clean: my husband has often had strong allergies in hotel rooms, but had no problem at all at Colors.

This part of Rome is much quieter and on a smaller scale than much of the main part of the city. It's on the west side of the Tiber and south of the Vatican and has many small restaurants and boutiques - a few too many perhaps. It's a little reminiscent of Florence and the narrow cobbled streets still contain many picturesque old houses.

A short train ride from Rome and a pleasant escape from the city. Lots to see there including the Villa d'Este (Cardinal's Palace), various temples and Hadrian's Villa - a few miles outside the town. There's also a spectacular walk through a ravine with waterfalls to cool you off on a hot day.
