Cantalupa Accommodation

Hotel Description

Nestled in the vibrant Ostiense district of Rome, the three-star Cantalupa Accommodation offers an exceptional stay experience as evidenced by its impressive 9.6 rating from satisfied guests. This boutique accommodation, located at Via Macedonio Melloni 33, provides an ideal balance of comfort, convenience, and authentic Roman charm. The Ostiense neighborhood, once Rome’s industrial heart, has transformed into one of the city’s most dynamic areas, blending historical significance with contemporary urban culture. From this advantageous position, guests can easily access many of Rome’s treasures while enjoying a more authentic, less touristy experience of the Eternal City.

Cantalupa Accommodation’s near-perfect guest rating of 9.6 speaks volumes about the quality of service and attention to detail that awaits visitors. This exceptional score places it among the most highly-regarded accommodations in Rome, reflecting consistent guest satisfaction across all aspects of the stay experience. The Ostiense location offers proximity to several notable attractions, including the striking Pyramid of Cestius, the picturesque Protestant Cemetery where poets Keats and Shelley rest, and the fascinating Centrale Montemartini museum, where ancient Roman statues are displayed against the backdrop of early 20th-century machinery. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate being in one of Rome’s emerging food districts, with the renowned Eataly food emporium nearby and numerous authentic trattorias and innovative restaurants dotting the neighborhood. The area’s excellent transport links, including the Ostiense railway station and metro connections, ensure that the Vatican, Colosseum, and other iconic Roman landmarks are just a short journey away.

What truly distinguishes Cantalupa Accommodation, beyond its convenient location in scala B int. 10, is the personalized experience that has earned it such remarkable praise from previous guests. While maintaining the accessibility and value of a three-star establishment, the accommodation delivers a level of service and comfort that frequently exceeds expectations, as the outstanding 9.6 rating attests. The Ostiense district itself adds another dimension to the Rome experience, offering glimpses into both ancient history and contemporary Italian life away from the more crowded tourist centers. Street art adorns former industrial buildings, trendy bars and restaurants occupy converted factories, and local Romans go about their daily lives, creating an atmosphere of authentic immersion for visitors. For travelers seeking to experience Rome beyond the postcard views—while still having easy access to those iconic sights—Cantalupa Accommodation provides not just a place to stay, but a perfectly positioned gateway to discover the multifaceted character of the Italian capital, both ancient and modern, tourist-oriented and authentically local.

Reviews

• Kt from Singapore (9/10)

  Fulvio was very kind and gave us a very in depth recommendation on where to go in the area and where to visit in the city, which are very accessible by both train and bus. The common kitchen area is quite sizeable, and the apartment is furnished very cozily!

• Silviu from Romania (10/10)

  Fulvio, the host, was very helpful, and we enjoyed talking to him about Rome. He's very hospitable, friendly and offers all that he can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There's nothing more that you could expect, and for us he was a perfect host. The room we got had everything we needed for a good night sleep.
  The place is well connected to transportation (10 min walk to Metro, at Basilica S. Paolo) and other bus stations are within 3-5 walking minutes , including night buses. Safe and quiet neighborhood.

• Martin from Czech Republic (10/10)

  I spent here 3 nights. The accomodatin is very clean and comfortable. The locality is ok. There are several options nearby for both morning breakfast just behind the corner of the street or late dinner in a nearby trattoria. Metro station Basillica S. Paolo or Marconi are 10-15min walk away. The host, Fulvio, is very kind, friendly and helpful.
  Grazie mille, Fulvio, ci veddiamo!
