Two things about The Roman Farfalla stand out. That’s not to say that that’s all there is to it, but the location and the terraces are clearly the main draw. Having two separate outdoor spaces, both well furnished, is a real luxury, and it’s easy to imagine spending most of the day flitting between the two. That is, of course, if you’re even in the flat. The Spanish Steps are at the end of the street (Via Margutta, made famous by Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn), while most of the other major attractions are within easy walking distance.

About Flaminio
Lying just north of the city center, on the left side of the river Tiber, Flaminio stretches from Piazza del Popolo all the way up to Ponte Milvio —the Roman "Bridge of the Arts". Named after Via Flaminia — one of the most ancient Roman roads, connecting the capital to the Adriatic Sea — this neighbourhood is more about modern art & architecture than history.
