Rome’s Piazza Navona takes its form from the ancient Stadio di Domiziano, dating from Roman times. It covers an area of about 270 metres long and 55 metres wide, built around 86 A.D. and able to accommodate up to 33,000 people.

After being restored by Alessandro Severo, and arriving at its present layout following the intervention of Pope Innocent X, up to the XIXth century various types of performances and celebrations were organised, and during the month of August, when the piazza was flooded by closing off the discharges of the fountains, even naval battles took place.

The name "Piazza Navona" probably originated from the competitions that that took place in the area. Coming from the Latin "in agone." In fact, over the centuries this turned into "nagone" and then finally "navona."

Piazza Navona has three fountains on his longitudinal side; laterally "Fontana del Nettuno o dei Calderoni" and "Fontana del Moro" which were designed by Giacomo della Porta, while the central "Fontana dei Fiumi" was designed by Bernini between 1648 and 1651 AD.

Facing the Fonta dei Fiume, built on the ruins of the Domiziano stadium and an ancient basilica - still visible from the underground vaults of the building - is the Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone, built in the form of a Greek cross, and originally designed by G. Rinaldi.

It was completed in 1652 by Borromini, and has a characteristic concave façade, twin bell towers and dome.

  • I rented Alessandro's flat in Rome for one month; it was a perfect location and situation for me, especially since I was travelling alone for this much time. The area, besides being completely convenient and walking accessible to all the wonderful sites of Rome, is also very safe which was an important factor for me. Even late at night, I felt totally safe walking back to the flat. The street itself and the whole neighborhood is absolutely charming and fun with new alleyways and interesting sights to discover everyday. I walked everywhere because everything was closeby and walking helped me feel part of this beautiful city. The flat itself is well maintained and stocked with all the necessities and comforts. There is a well-stocked grocery a blok down the street as well as Campo di Fiori for farm fresh produce. Alessandro is extremely gracious, helpful, and accommodating, and I would most certainly rent this apartment again. The location is terrific - like a 16th century Greenwich Village !

  • Our 6 days in Alessandro's flat near Piazza Navona was a highlight of our recent Italy/Mediterranean vacation. The location is perfect, walkable to all major sites (the only transit we took was one way taxi to the Borghese Gallery). The apartment is so well stocked and grocery convenient (one block away) that we were able to eat light breakfasts in with ease. It is on a busy, hip, and partying street, but the ground floor/rear location means you hear none of that. Check in/out/reservations were quite simple and smooth. Hope to visit Rome and this flat again soon!

  • After spending countless hours looking for quaint AND affordable lodging in Rome, I was thrilled to find the Roman Holiday Suite near Piazza Navona. Alessandro, the owner, was very easy to work with over email, and he made our getting to and into the apartment very easy. The area outside the apartment is THE spot to be in Rome. There are numerous excellent restaurants & cafes and tons of great boutiques for window-shopping. You're also just steps away from the major tourist sites and from the #40 bus stop -- this bus gets you everywhere you want to be in Rome! Inside, the apartment is clean, charming and stocked with everything you need. My husband and I are already discussing our return visit to Rome, and when we do get back, we'll be sure to reserve the Roman Holiday Suite again. Sujata & Parag, Oakland, CA, USA

  • Great appartment and location, located very central, less than 10 mins walking from the Vatican in the North, less than 30 mins walking from the Colloseum in the South. The appartment is clean, large enough for 2-3 persons, in a busy area but you don't notice anything from that. Thanks A.
