A Restaurant With A View-Hotel Forum

Every streetcorner in Rome offers a splendid view-but some spots are definitely more picturesque than others. What could be more lovely than to dine, al fresco, with a view of the most famous site in the ancient world? The restaurant at the Hotel Forum sits high atop the roof and looks out over the Roman Forum with the Colosseum to your left and the Capitoline Hill to your right. During the day you can watch the world go by-and at night you'll be captivated by the magic of the empty Forum. Be sure to make reservations for dinner. The hotel is located at Via Tor de' Conti 25-30 (near the Fori Imperiali).

Day Trips from Rome: Umbrian Monastery

The Wall Street Journal highlights the monastery Abbazia San Pietro in Valle in Umbria . The monastery is refashioned into a rustically simple hotel where you can relax and soak in the gorgeous Italian countryside. While you are there you can explore the ruins of the abandoned medieval village Umbriano , just a short walk away. The monastery also has an exquisite restaurant, Il Cantico , so even if you are not staying the night, be sure to stay for dinner.

Convent Stays in Rome-The Cheapest Lodgings!

Image
The Church of Santa Susana in Rome maintains an extensive list of convents that accommodate overnight visitors. A convent stay, while very cheap (think 40 euros for a double room) and no doubt picturesque, is not for the luxury traveler. Often there is a curfew and bathrooms are down the hall. But the locations are some of the best in Rome (like the Casa Santa Brigida in the Piazza Farnese, pictured) and obviously the price can't be beat. Visit the Church of Santa Susana website to find the convent that's right for you-and make sure you ask the important questions, like "Is there a curfew?" before you book!

Bir e Fud in Trastevere: When You're Tired of Wine

Image
It may seem impossible, but you could get tired of the endless array of wine in Italy. When this happens, visit Bir & Fud in Trastevere (Via Benedetta 23), a pub that serves over 100 brands of artisanal Italian beers. The "fud" is actually typical of a high-end pizzeria (delicious), but the "bir" will make you rave. Visit their blog -unfortunately only in Italian-to find out more about events going on at the pub and beers they are enjoying. You can also purchase many of the beers at their bottega , located at Via Luca Valerio in the Marconi neighborhood south of Trastevere.
