Recommended by the New York Times, Matisse is a charming B&B, tucked away in a historic Palazzo on Via Nazionale. Fontana di Trevi, Piazza Venezia and the old Forum are all within a 15-minute walk away.

The property is fitted with whimsical and curio furnishings and opens out on to an inner patio with pot plants. The central area is close to tourist sights, shops and the typical restaurants of Monti District.

Rooms are simple but air conditioned and equipped with a kettle. En-suite bathrooms are standard.

Wired internet is accessible for free in Matisse Royal hotel public areas.
