Located in the heart of Rome, this Albergo's got Sole. The 58-room hotel, just off the Campo de' Fiori, is a class-act with an ancient history to boot.

The Albergo del Sole has the distinction of being the oldest hotel in Rome. A Roman theater constructed dating back to 61 B.C. once stood in the hotel's current location, and bits of the old showplace still turn up in the hotel's parking garage.

Generally speaking, rooms are spacious, with high ceilings and modern bathrooms with glass shower stalls. Terra-cotta tiles, antique (or just old) dressers and side tables round out the look. Most rooms face either the large, flower-filled courtyard or a second, smaller courtyard. Rooms facing the street offer the best views and keep noise out when the double-paned windows are closed. However, air-conditioning is not available, so these rooms will probably be loud during the steamy months. (Fans are available.)

On the first floor, the Sole has a spiffy salon with a chandelier, mosaic floor, antique furnishings, and paintings. The top floor garden spans nearly the entire building, including the fourth-floor balconies that overlook the picturesque courtyard.

Note: The hotel's elevator is located up a flight of stairs.

About the Albergo del Sole neighborhood

The cafe-lined Campo de' Fiori sees fewer tourists than the Pantheon and Piazza Navona area directly to its north. In place of tourists, Campo de' Fiori is a prime hang-out zone for Rome's young hipsters. Crowds (including more than a few foreign exchange students) spill out of bars onto the Piazza at night. The Piazza centers around a statue of dissident Giordano Bruno, burned at the stake in 1600 for his heretical ways. During the day, the area's great restaurants, fab little shops, and a weekday morning market take over. Rome's Jewish Ghetto is a short stroll away, down Via Giubbonari.
