The B&B “The Great Beauty” is located in a highly touristic area, in the wonderful Prati district. Despite this, the street where the structure is situated is particularly quiet and full of commercial activities. In the immediate vicinity, as well as bars, restaurants, pubs and ice cream parlors, there are major public transport services. The buses of Piazzale Clodio (lines 23, 30, 31, 33, 69, 70, 89, 130F, 495, N7), Piazza Risorgimento (lines 19, 32, 81, 590), and the Metro (line A “Ottaviano / San Pietro”), only 400 meters away from the B&B, allow to get around comfortably throughout the whole city of Rome.
