Location
In Rome, the 3 star Hotel Kent is located in a splendid position, in the relaxing ambiance of a neighborhood far from city traffic, near Villa Borghese, Via Veneto and Piazza Barberini, which can be reached on foot or in just 10 minutes by bus.
You'll stay across from the prestigious Museo d’Arte Contemporanea of Rome (MACRO) - one of the capital's main exposition centers with works by the greatest Italian and international artists – and just a few meters from the historical ‘breach’ of Porta Pia.
Via Veneto, famous throughout the world thanks to Federico Fellini's masterpiece film ‘La Dolce Vita’, and the splendid stairs in Piazza di Spagna, represent two mandatory sights to see during your Roman vacation; you can reach them in less than ten minutes by bus from Hotel Kent.
From charming Piazza di Spagna, take Via dei Condotti to spend some time shopping; its high fashion boutiques are an irresistible magnet for anyone. Here we recommend a stop at Caffè Greco, one of Rome's historic cafes, a former meeting place for writers and musicians.
Thanks to metro B (Castro Pretorio stop), a short ride leads to Piazza Barberini and the magnificent Fontana del Tritone; a little further on is Rome's Baroque masterpiece: the Trevi Fountain, one of the most visited sights in the world.
Villa Borghese is the most important city park in Rome. It is home to the Galleria di Villa Borghese which contains extraordinary masterpieces by Titian, Bernini and Michelangelo. Strolling through the park you can take your children to the Bioparco, take a romantic sail on Lago del Tempio di Esculapio and just relax for a bit amidst the age-old pines and astonishing sculptures. The Museo Etrusco and interesting Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna are also located in this area. Lastly, if you want to view Rome from above, climb up to the outlook at Pincio!
Villa Torlonia. This splendid aristocratic villa was the home of the Duce, Benito Mussolini, starting in the 1920's. It fell into a state of disrepair at the end of WWII. Recently renovated, it has been reopened to the public with its English garden and wonderful original sculptures.
