Zen Garden B&B
A MINI-COTTAGE IN A SECRET GARDEN IN THE HEART OF ROME
Just fancy to visit the sights of the Eternal City immersed in history or to enjoy the traditional Roman cuisine and to get back later on, that same day, to a restoring site…,a place nearly of its own!
In the middle of a quiet and inner garden among orange trees, palms and bamboos you’ll be accommodated in a bungalow independent of the rest of the house, comfortable, perfectly fitted with a combination air conditioning/heating unit and a small sink and counter area with a tea pot, coffee pot and equipped with a little private bathroom and shower
The position is central, between the historical districts of Trastevere with Porta Portese the famous Sunday flea market, and Testaccio, next to the river Tevere, ideal for a walk or a bike ride in the green to the heart of the historical centre.
Very close to Trastevere station, the place is directly connected to Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci airport and to Termini station and is very well served by public transport in order to reach any place in the city
The owners ,a husband and a wife zen monks english and french speaking ,run in the main house a Centre for Zen Meditation and hold psychophysical wellbeing activities (Dance Therapy, Creative Dance, Iyengar Yoga, Tai chi-Qi Gong, Feldenkrais) which you can join.
