At the Forum's back door

The Hotel Casa Kolbe, in Rome, Italy

Casa Kolbe

(Ancient Rome)
The Kolbe seems a world away from the craziness of the city, on a quiet, forgotten side street lost between the Tiber River and the ancient Roman Forum. In fact, the back entrance to the Forum is just a few hundred feet away—cool, huh?

The Kolbe exudes that somber quiet that only a former monastery can muster, but it's comfy enough. The built-in units are austere, and the heavenly orthopedic beds sport blankets in the most hideous shades of brown and yellow the 1960s had to offer.

Those rooms that don't open onto the peaceful courtyard's palms and orange trees look instead across a little-trafficked street onto a romantically overgrown, semi-excavated portion of the ancient Palatine Hill

Via San Teodoro 44, across the street and down a bit from the little-used back entrance to the Roman Forum
