The Fontana della Terrina: Rome's moving fountain!

The moving fountain: the curious story of Rome’s “tureen”

For those of you who are visiting Rome and are after bizarre stories, look no further than this post on a famous fountain (no, not that one). Tucked away between Piazza Navona and Castel Sant’Angelo in what is now Piazza dell’Orologio, sits a fountain that looks nothing like a fountain at all: a giant stone […]

Exploring Via dei Coronari, one of Rome's oldest and most fascinating streets - From Home to Rome

The story of Via dei Coronari: from ancient Rome to modern times

If you were to stop a hundred tourists in Piazza Navona and ask them what’s down the little street just north of it, maybe five will know its name. And yet Via dei Coronari is, quietly, one of the most important streets in Rome’s entire history and has been carrying people, money, prayers, and gossip […]

How to live like a local in Rome: a guide by From Home to Rome

Living like a local: a first-timer’s guide to everyday life in a Rome apartment

So you’ve booked your first trip abroad, and you’ve chosen Rome. Excellent decision. You’ve also chosen to stay in an apartment rather than a hotel, which means you’re about to have a completely different experience of the city. No buffet breakfast, no 24/7 front desk, no room service… Just you, a set of keys, and […]

Votive shrines - a uniquely Roman phenomenon! From Home to Rome, your holiday rental in the center of Rome!

(A very short) history of Rome’s street-corner madonnas

If you find yourself walking around Rome with your nose pointed at the sky (not generally advisable in the historic center, what with the cobblestones and the scooters, but in this case it’s actually worth the risk), sooner or later you’ll spot a small niche or frame tucked into a wall, holding a sacred image […]

When facts about Rome turn out to be myth - From Home to Rome comes to the rescue

Things you thought were Roman… but are not!

Rome has been so thoroughly mythologized in films, cookbooks, and a thousand “best of Italy” listicles that the majority of visitors arrive to the city with a fully formed mental image of it. In our experience in our day-to-day job, the expectations are only about 40% accurate. The rest is a composite of things borrowed […]

A new holiday rental among the historic buildings of Via dei Coronari - From Home to Rome

New at From Home to Rome: Coronari 114

Where to workout for free in Rome - a guide to parks and bike lanes in the city

Staying active in Rome: working out in the open air

Rome might just be the perfect city for exercise enthusiasts: its legendary seven hills (although we know that there are more of those hidden in plain sight!), its rivers, or its bike lanes are part of the reason why Romans are, on the whole, a surprisingly active bunch. Gyms are there, of course, but you […]

New holiday rental seconds from Trevi Fountain: Crociferi 15 by From Home to Rome

New at From Home to Rome: Crociferi 15

Via dei Crociferi is just another name of yet another narrow street in the city center of Rome… Until you look it up on a map to realize where this alley is. Crociferi 15, the newest addition to our portfolio, is just seconds – that’s right, seconds! – from the Trevi Fountain, in the kind […]

Five fountains to visit that are NOT Trevi Fountain

Five (more!) Roman fountains you can visit for free

(Or: a modest proposal for anyone willing to set an alarm at 5AM to dodge a €2 ticket) Let us address the situation with the candor it deserves. Since the City of Rome introduced a €2 entrance fee at the Trevi Fountain, a significant portion of the traveling public has reacted as though the Eternal […]
