Piazzetta Margutta – My Extra Home

Piazzetta Margutta – My Extra Home Overview

You know what struck me first about Piazzetta Margutta? The name actually makes sense once you’re standing there – it really does feel like someone’s stylish extra home rather than a typical hotel. I mean, you’re literally on Via Margutta, which is this narrow, cobblestone street that most tourists walk right past without realizing they’re missing one of Rome’s most charming artist quarters. The building itself has that weathered Roman elegance thing going on, and honestly, walking through the entrance feels like you’re about to visit a well-connected friend who happens to have impeccable taste.

The location is pretty brilliant if you know Rome at all. You’re about a three-minute walk from the Spanish Steps (which means you’ll hear the tourist crowds during the day, but it dies down nicely in the evenings), and here’s the thing locals know – Via Margutta has this incredible history as an artists’ street. Federico Fellini lived here, and you can still see art studios tucked between the residential buildings. What I love is that you can slip out for morning coffee at one of the tiny neighborhood bars where they know regulars by name, then be at the Trevi Fountain in ten minutes when you’re ready to do the tourist thing. The street itself is actually pedestrian-only for most of its length, so there’s this lovely quiet quality despite being in the heart of everything.

The rooms – and I stayed in one of their larger ones – have this sort of curated apartment vibe that works really well. Everything feels deliberately chosen rather than bulk-ordered from a hotel supplier, if that makes sense. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious (not always a given in Roman hotels), and the air conditioning actually worked properly, which you’ll appreciate if you’re visiting in summer. I will say the walls aren’t super thick, so you might catch snippets of conversation from the hallway, but it’s not disruptive. What really won me over was the breakfast setup – they don’t do a massive buffet, but what they offer is quality stuff, including proper Italian pastries that taste like they came from a local bakery rather than a hotel kitchen. The staff genuinely seems to know the neighborhood well too, which is invaluable. When I asked about dinner recommendations, they didn’t just hand me a generic list – they asked what I was in the mood for and suggested this tiny place around the corner that I never would have found otherwise. That 8.7 rating feels about right – it’s not luxury in the marble-lobby sense, but it’s exactly what you want if you’re looking for authentic Roman charm with modern comfort in a location that puts you right in the thick of things without feeling touristy.

  The rooms were very clean with comfortable beds, ample space. We had a wonderful view. Highly recommend the split level apartments with terrace.
  
  What could be improved: Check out starts at 9:30 and lasts until 10AM. Office is locked before 9:30 so you cannot drop off the luggage earlier than that. Kitchen towels and tissues would be much appreciated.
