Hotel Description

Welcome to Sole E Luna, a distinguished 3-star boutique hotel that has earned an exceptional 9.5 rating from satisfied guests, making it one of Rome’s most beloved accommodations. Perfectly positioned at Via Merulana 117 in the historic Rione Monti district, this gem offers an authentic Roman experience with the perfect balance of accessibility and tranquility. The hotel sits in one of Rome’s oldest and most characterful neighborhoods, where cobblestone streets, artisan workshops, and traditional trattorias create an atmosphere that captures the true essence of the Eternal City.

Rione Monti, once the bustling heart of ancient Rome, now serves as a vibrant cultural hub that seamlessly blends historical significance with contemporary charm. From Sole E Luna, guests are within walking distance of iconic landmarks including the magnificent Colosseum and Roman Forum, the spiritual splendor of Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica, and the artistic treasures of the Palazzo Merulana. Via Merulana itself connects two of Rome’s most important papal basilicas, creating a strategic location for those wishing to explore Rome’s rich religious heritage. The hotel’s central position also provides excellent access to public transportation, with the Vittorio Emanuele metro station just minutes away, connecting you to Vatican City, the Spanish Steps, and other notable attractions throughout the city.

What truly sets Sole E Luna apart, as reflected in its outstanding 9.5 rating, is its commitment to exceptional hospitality in an intimate setting. Unlike impersonal larger establishments, this thoughtfully maintained property offers personalized service that makes guests feel like welcomed friends rather than anonymous tourists. The hotel combines traditional Italian elegance with modern comforts, creating spaces that feel both authentically Roman and contemporarily comfortable. Each room is thoughtfully appointed to provide a peaceful sanctuary after days spent exploring the bustling city streets. The property’s namesake, translating to “Sun and Moon,” captures the magical duality of Rome—a city equally enchanting whether bathed in golden daylight or illuminated by moonlight against ancient silhouettes. At Sole E Luna, you’re not just booking accommodation; you’re securing a genuine Roman experience in a neighborhood where locals still outnumber tourists, artisanal traditions thrive, and each narrow street tells stories spanning millennia. For travelers seeking an authentic, highly-rated stay in a location that balances touristic convenience with local character, Sole E Luna stands as one of Rome’s most treasured hospitality havens, promising memories that will last long after your journey ends.

    I love Giordano, he's a great host. Gave us a lot of tips before we arrived and gave us a lot of support during the whole trip. The place is very clean, comfortable and very well located.
    I highly recommend.

  • Klára from Czech Republic (10/10)

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this accommodation! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, who was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my entire visit. The place was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated, offering everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
    The location was perfect—quiet yet close to all the key attractions. What truly made this experience unforgettable, though, was the kindness and hospitality of the owner. They went above and beyond to ensure that we felt at home and had everything we needed. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their guests' comfort and well-being.
    we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to stay. we will definitely be returning on my next trip!
