Live in a bona-fide princely palace at pauper's prices
The Hotel Coronet, in Rome, Italy
Hotel Coronet (Tiber Bend)
Cheapskates with expensive tastes take note: you can live literally like a Renaissance prince in one wing of the 15th-century Palazzo Doria Pamphilj (in another wing reside a number of Raphaels, Caravaggios, and other masterpieces in a museum displaying the Doria Pamhilj's princely collection, and in yet another wind resides the noble family itself).
Simona Teresi and her son preside over the baronially sized rooms with high ceilings, tall windows, and modest, sometimes worn, yet comfy mismatched furnishings and antiques. Rooms 34, 35, and huge 45 boast wood ceilings and sitting corners with sofas. The pocket-sized piazza out front isn't terribly noisy, but for greater quiet ask for a garden-view room. Each room without an ensuite bathroom has a private bath down the hall.
Piazza Grazioli 5 (just off the northwest corner of Piazza Venezia).
