Comfortable base near Vatican City
In the sleepy surroundings of Aurelio, a neighbourhood on the northern side of Rome that borders Vatican City, Raganelli could be the ideal spot to base yourself for that Italian city break you’ve been dreaming of.
Buses and trams are both easily accessible from here, so making your way in and out of the city centre will be straightforward. If Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican is first on the agenda, head to the bus stop just opposite the hotel and you can be there in about half an hour. Back in Aurelio you can stroll around the Villa Doria Pamphili park – public gardens that are home to a 17th century villa.
The neighbourhood here is largely residential – so follow the locals and you’ll find some great authentic Italian eats in the cafés and restaurants. The hotel lays on a continental breakfast buffet in the mornings, perfect for a fuelling up for a day of sightseeing. In the evenings you can unwind with a drink in the lounge, or for a tipple with a view, head out onto the terrace and watch the sun set over the city.

Find out more about Greater Rome
Nestled around the iconic centre, it includes neighbourhoods like Tivoli, Frascati, and Ostia, each with unique attractions. Tivoli offers ancient wonders like Villa Adriana and the enchanting fountains of Villa d’Este. Frascati, part of the Castelli Romani hills, is renowned for its wine and idyllic countryside – book onto a wine tour and taste the local drop at rustic vineyards. Closer to the coast, Ostia boasts golden beaches and the ancient ruins of Ostia Antica, a well-preserved Roman harbour town. Back towards Rome, suburban spots like EUR blend sleek modern architecture with serene lakeside parks, and you can discover another side of Rome in Garbatella Storica, one of the most unique corners of the city, with less tourist queues.
Dining in Greater Rome is an adventure in regional flavours. From rustic trattorias serving porchetta in Ariccia, to seaside restaurants dishing up fresh seafood in Fiumicino, every meal tells a story. Pair your dishes with local wines, especially when you’re in Frascati – bellisimo! Greater Rome offers a quieter, more relaxed pace than the bustling centre, with plenty of nature reserves, charming villages, and easy train connections to central Rome. It’s perfect for balancing the eternal city’s grandeur with authentic, everyday Italian life. Explore its diversity, fall in love with Rome’s broader embrace, and most importantly, when in Rome… do what the Romans do!
