It was called Pensavo Peggio and it is near Santa Maria Novella Church. I had a ravioli dish with a truffle cream sauce that was seriously divine!!!! There are a bunch of reviews for it on trip advisor.</p> <p>Also, for a quick lunch go to il fratellini - <a href="http://www.iduefratellini.it/index.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.iduefratellini.it/index.asp</a>. It's a little sandwich shop with really good sandwiches. You can also order a glass of wine, and when you are done, you put the glass in a rack by the shop. It's just a little store front with no place to sit, but you sit on the sidewalk and people watch. It is really such a fun place and a total cheap eat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/italy-hotel-recs-for-rome-and-florence#post-941872 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:27:18 +0000 tequiero21 941872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I would have been open!!

It was amazing!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/italy-hotel-recs-for-rome-and-florence#post-941671 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 11:40:14 +0000 regberadaisy 941671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: would you be open to a apartment rental? We rented a lovely one bedroom apartment that had wifi and a kitchen through VRBO. It was near a train/bus station and wonderful cafes and restaurants and walking distance to the Vatican. It had a tiny little terrace that you could see the dome of the Vatican.<br /> ETA: as a added bonus the landlord was a Vatican tour guide so we got the tour for free AND skipped the crazy lines! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/italy-hotel-recs-for-rome-and-florence#post-941658 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 11:37:36 +0000 MamaMagpie 941658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: yes -- I just have to remember the name of it! The BEST place ever! Stay tuned, I'm going to ask my hubs :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/italy-hotel-recs-for-rome-and-florence#post-941511 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 10:56:05 +0000 tequiero21 941511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMagpie: I know, I'm so excited!

Totally envious of your trip, btw ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/italy-hotel-recs-for-rome-and-florence#post-938096 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 09:24:55 +0000 BronxvilleBump 938096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well if you don't mind spending good money in Italy... I would HIGHLY suggest staying here. It is in the PERFECT neighborhood, right by all the shopping and cafes and right down the street from the Spanish Steps. It is EXTREMELY nice and modern, we stayed for only 3 days because it was a bit pricey in the summer and then stayed at a more affordable smaller hotel on the other side of rome for the rest of the time. </p> <p>Babuino 181 is the place! It's one of the most modern and artistic boutique hotels I have ever stayed in. The nicest for sure! <a href="http://www.romeluxurysuites.com/babuino/default-en.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.romeluxurysuites.com/babuino/default-en.html</a></p> <p>The other hotel we stayed in that is super affordable, laid back and has a really nice down to earth local feel is here... (not as nice art Babuino but it worked out fine for us). There are more small neighborhood spots that the locals eat at near by. The hotel is named Auditorium di Mecenate. <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g187791-d665611-Reviews-Auditorium_di_Mecenate-Rome_Lazio.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g187791-d665611-Reviews-Auditorium_di_Mecenate-Rome_Lazio.html</a></p> <p>Hope this helps! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/italy-hotel-recs-for-rome-and-florence#post-937410 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 00:43:50 +0000 tequiero21 937410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMagpie: thx! Will check out!</p> <p>@BronxvilleBump: we'd rather spend some money and have a good stay than save money and be miserable! Amazing sounds good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/italy-hotel-recs-for-rome-and-florence#post-937375 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 23:57:05 +0000 BronxvilleBump 937375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your budget or style of hotel you like? Fancy or Save Some Money? My husband and I went to Italy and France for a month last summer on our Honeymoon and stayed at some amazing places. Hoping to take our soon to be little bean one day.</p> <p>We stayed at a couple places... I'm asking cuz I work for a really awesome Travel Biz that supports small B&amp;B's and Hotels <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NotAnotherTourist" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/NotAnotherTourist</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/italy-hotel-recs-for-rome-and-florence#post-937354 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 23:27:34 +0000 MamaMagpie 937354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I stayed at the Hotel Albergo Del Senato when we were in Rome -- loved it! It's literally a stones throw away from the Pantheon, which we loved because it was such a central location and we could find our way back easily :)<br /> Haven't stayed in Florence, though...<br /> I want to go back so badly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/italy-hotel-recs-for-rome-and-florence#post-937304 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 22:46:37 +0000 tequiero21 937304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any recs for hotels in Rome and Florence? </p>
