Villa Borghese: A Family-Friendly Oasis in the Heart of Rome
Rome, the Eternal City, has it all—ancient ruins, world-class cuisine, and enough gelato to satisfy even the most indulgent traveller. But let’s be honest: it can also be a bit much. The bustling streets, endless attractions, and selfie-stick-wielding crowds can leave you craving a slice of serenity.
Enter Villa Borghese, your ticket to calm amidst the chaos. Just a short stroll from Piazza del Popolo, this sprawling park offers a quieter side of Rome that many visitors overlook. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, a family adventure, or the perfect photo shoot backdrop, Villa Borghese delivers in spades.
The best hotels in Rome for families in 2024
Finding a family-friendly hotel is never easy. The options are typically limited to squeezing in a single rollaway (not helpful for your two teenagers?!) or booking two separate rooms and splitting your family.
You’re faced with the same issue when trying to find a family-friendly hotel in Italy! Many families opt for an Airbnb instead, but I know the guaranteed cleanliness of a luxury hotel (and the buffet breakfast) is enticing so I asked travelling parents where they’ve loved staying with their families here, and these are their recommendations.
Rome’s most fun local guide for the Colosseum and Rome with kids
Let me introduce you to Mariaclaudia. You’ll find her recommended in all the family-focused Facebook travel groups, and for good reason. I recently spent an afternoon photographing a family enjoying one of her tours and like all the reviews you read, I can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s fun, she can adapt to connect with family members of all ages (even your teenagers!) and personalities on her tour, and most of all, she leaves you feeling that little bit more knowledgable but still wanting to know more, without the overwhelm. A feeling that is sure to encourage your children to continue their learning.
