Hi!
I am a Professor from India.
I plan to visit Rome with my wife and my son
on 28th for two nights.
I am planning to stay at tiber village camp grounds after going through your blog.
Can you tell me the cheapest acommodation available there.
Suggest alternative options.
Thank you in advance.

Hi S.

I actually just returned from a stay at Tiber village and was just as pleased with it once again.  The cheapest accommodation there is going to be bringing a tent and setting up camp.  But “splurging” for a “trailer” type room is well worth the few extra Euros.  The trailers come in a couple sizes, one being just a simple room with two beds separated from your neighbor by a very ….very thin wall and the other is a larger room with an attached bathroom and shower.  The prices can be found on their website at www.campingtiber.com .   So, to answer your question the  cheapest accommodation would be around 5 Euro per person per night for a tent space.

Another place more central in Rome, which I haven’t stayed but have been in contact with the owner and think it would be worth a look is www.arcosbedandbreakfast.it .  They seem  reasonably priced.  Still, the campground would be my first choice to save some cash, and don’t let the area around the train station fool you (a bit run down)…the campground is very nice and clean.  The food is great too!

Hi S.

The Roma pass is a good deal in any case because it covers the cost of the first two sights like the Colosseum and say the Capatolini museum.  This in itself almost pays for itself but on top of that you will get a reduced price at a number of other sights and the free transportation…taking a metro here and there is likely something you will do.  In terms of where to stay.  If I could afford to spend the extra 15 Euro I would opt to stay in town.  Being able to walk around Rome at night and see the Colosseum lit up or just having more restaurant/ grocery store options would be worth it.  I think you’re just  going to have to weigh the cost to what you want to spend.

As far as your Itinerary goes; you will be quite rushed and never really have a chance to relax and decompress.  You will have to be quite specific about what you want to see in places like Rome and go straight there see them and move on, probably using the metro to eliminate walking time.  I think it can be done if you’re up for a lot of moving quickly.  You might consider putting Capri or Pisa off until a future trip to give  your self a tad more leisure time.  Being able to head to Naples is awesome but if you never have time to stop and  enjoy a Naples pizza because of time constraints your missing out on a big part of the visit…the same would go for Gelato in Florence…or even the Pantheon in Rome.  Don’t forget that even though your sitting on a train or flying to your destination…it does take a lot out of you.
