The Property — Eritrea Suite
The Eritrea Suite is a no-frills, family-run hotel in the Eternal City, offering a warm welcome to those seeking an authentic Roman experience. Its modest 3-star rating belies a certain charm, with a lobby adorned with vintage Italian posters and a hint of faded grandeur. This is a haven for budget-conscious travellers and history buffs who value proximity to the city's ancient landmarks over luxury amenities. With a prime location near the Roman Forum and Colosseum, it's a great choice for those eager to walk in the footsteps of emperors.
Chronicles of Rome
Founded in 753 BC, Rome is a city built on seven hills, its strategic location on the Tiber River making it a hub for trade and power. Over the centuries, the city has evolved from a republic to an empire, leaving behind a rich architectural legacy that spans the ancient, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Today, Rome is a city of contradictions: a bustling metropolis with a strong sense of history, where ancient ruins sit alongside modern designer boutiques and Michelin-starred restaurants. Visitors can stroll along the cobblestone streets, taking in the Trevi Fountain's baroque beauty and the Pantheon's ancient grandeur. As the capital of the Lazio region, Rome is a city that seamlessly blends tradition and innovation.

Top Attractions in Rome
💡 Go at 8.30am just after opening to avoid 45-minute queues. Mass at 9am is a quieter way in.
💡 Skip the main Piazza Trilussa at night—packed with tourists. Instead walk up Via della Scala to Via dell'Arco di San Calisto for good wine bars and fewer crowds.
💡 Take a book and a sandwich to the Giardino degli Aranci across the road at sunset—the view over the dome is better than any rooftop bar.
💡 Book tickets online at least 72 hours ahead — the Colosseum is one of the most visited sites in the world and same-day tickets are rarely available. The Forum–Palatine side entrance on Via Sacra has shorter queues.
💡 The natural spring in the lowest level can make steps slippery. Wear sturdy shoes and bring a small torch to read the dark inscriptions.
💡 Book online to skip the queue — the combined ticket includes the Colosseum and Palatine Hill. Best visited early morning before tour groups arrive. The elevated view from the Capitoline Hill gives the best overview of the Forum.
💡 Buy a combined ticket for €12 to also see the Musei Capitolini within two days. The cafeteria has cheap coffee and a terrace overlooked by a 4-metre turbine.
