When in Rome, go smooth
Set on the quiet Via Aurelia, The Smooth Rome is an ideal base for a holiday in the Eternal City. It's a 10-minute walk to Battistini Metro Station, then about 30 minutes by train to the Vatican and 45 to the Colosseum. And if you're up for a seaside escape, stunning Ostia Beach is around 40 minutes by road.
Inside, things are calm, clean, and contemporary. Rooms are comfortable and well-designed, with everything you need after a day pounding the Roman pavements. Some even come with private terraces – perfect for a scenic evening tipple. There's also a leafy garden if you fancy a quiet moment outdoors.
Mornings start with a generous breakfast buffet featuring flaky pastries, fresh fruit, and proper Italian coffee. In the evening, the on-site restaurant serves up relaxed meals, or you can explore the local area packed with trattorias, pizzerias and gelaterias.
Whether you’re in Rome for ruins, romance or just good food and sunshine, The Smooth Rome gives you a laid-back base with easy links to the action – and a comfy bed waiting when you’re done.

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!
