This is an amazing Cathedral that was built on 12th Century, burnt, destroyed by earthquake twice and bomb in 1943. But this spectacular cathedral keep on standing beautifully. #LifeAtExpediaGroup

The staff was so nice! The morning breakfast is amazing! This is a great North Rome spot, fairly close to several key areas to include the Spanish stairs. Lots of locals eat here and it's not as touristy as some of the spots in center square. We took the limo service back and forth to the airport, which was really nice.
