Hotel Teatro di Pompeo

Centro Storico


Tucked away behind Campo de’ Fiori, this old-fashioned hotel sits atop the 1st-century-BC Theatre of Pompey – the basement breakfast room is actually in the theatre's ruins. Rooms are simply appointed with classic wooden furniture, terracotta floor tiles and, in some, sloping wood-beamed ceilings.
