“St. John Villa provides a quiet, residential base close to the San Giovanni metro stop. The location balances convenient access to Rome's major sights-including a roughly 20-minute walk to the Colosseum-with a more peaceful, neighborhood feel. I especially value the rare private garden that sets it apart from more standard city hotels.”
