Monti – Bohemian and Authentic Rome
Behind the Eternal City’s most iconic landmarks lies a more discreet treasure. Just steps from the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums, the Monti district captivates with its authentic charm and bohemian atmosphere. Here, Rome reveals another side of itself - slightly removed from the tourist bustle, in an ambiance beloved by locals.
A Neighborhood with Singular Charm
Cobblestone streets, sun-washed facades, lively piazzas, and old-world shops… Monti invites you to wander and savor the Roman art of living. Once a working-class neighborhood, today it has become one of the city’s most sought-after areas, while preserving the free and creative spirit nurtured by its residents. Along its winding streets rises the majestic Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, one of Rome’s four great basilicas. Closely tied to papal history, it houses sacred treasures and remains a major place of pilgrimage, adding a spiritual dimension to the neighborhood’s already enchanting atmosphere.
The Art of Living in Monti
In Monti, time flows differently. Pause at a vintage boutique, stumble upon an independent gallery, or settle into Piazza della Madonna dei Monti to watch local life unfold. More than just a neighborhood, Monti embodies an authentic Roman experience marked by elegant simplicity (we are in Italy, after all!) and unexpected encounters.
Flavors and Conviviality
Food lovers will find in Monti a selection of traditional trattorias, intimate wine bars, and trendy cafés. It’s the perfect spot to savor a plate of cacio e pepe, a homemade supplì, or a glass of Chianti, all in a warm and convivial atmosphere, far from the crowds.
Casa Monti, a Hidden Gem
