How to Find a Room in Rome
Finding a room in Rome can be a bit of a struggle, especially when you are moving here to study and don't know where to start. Since the school season has started again, I have been seeing lots of posts on Instagram from people looking for a room in Rome, and it reminded me of my own experience finding a place here.
Getting a room in Rome for a decent price is a combination of doing a good search and getting a little bit lucky. I have lived in three different apartments in Rome, so in this guide, I want to share everything I learned along the way, from where to look for a room and how much you can expect to pay to what to look out for and how I found my own rooms.
I hope that with this article, you will get one step closer to finding your new home in Rome!
Where to Buy Stationery in Rome
If you are older than me, this might not be weird for you, but this is my first back-to-school season where I am actually not going to school anymore. Seeing all the signs with sales and whatnot made me a bit sentimental, while also eternally grateful that I don’t have to study for exams anymore.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been obsessed with everything stationery. You cannot make me happier than with a beautiful notebook, a pen, or handy sticky notes where I can write my to-do list on (can you tell I am a Virgo?).
In Rome, there are some beautiful stationery stores, which carry everything from cute styles to classic leather goods. In this blog post, I will tell you all about where to find the best stationery in Rome. Even if you are not going back to school, sometimes you just have to treat yourself to a new pen.
Where to Go Vintage Shopping in Monti, Rome
My loves, as you might know, the sixth of September was my birthday, and I turned the beautiful age of 25. Since me and my blog have the same birthday, it is official now: my blog is also two years old!
Since I am getting older, it is becoming more and more important to me that I wear original pieces, and I try to avoid consuming fast fashion as much as possible. I love apps like Vinted, where you can buy secondhand items, but to me, there is nothing better than strolling along vintage stores, looking for little gems.
Rome, and the Monti neighborhood in particular, has wonderful vintage stores, with both designer and non-designer items. In this article, I will tell you all about my favorite vintage stores in the Monti area of Rome, so when you visit Rome, you know exactly where to go to treat yourself to a wardrobe upgrade.
Tarquinia, An Etruscan Day Trip from Rome by Car
While I didn't treat myself to an extensive holiday this year, I did go on some day trips and explored some areas around Rome that I had never been to before. Last week, you could read about my experience at Terme dei Papi, and this week I will take you with me to Tarquinia, a town around 90 kilometres (56 miles) from Rome.
As someone who studied history, I found this Etruscan town, with its fascinating museum and ancient necropolis, particularly interesting. In this blog post, I will tell you everything you need to know about its history, how to get there and what to see. After reading this article, I hope you will feel inspired to visit Tarquinia for yourself!
Terme dei Papi, the Thermal Baths You Need to Visit Near Rome
If you’re a loyal reader, you may remember that I mentioned Terme dei Papi before, in my article about my day trip to Viterbo. While Viterbo is the perfect day trip from Rome by train, Terme dei Papi are located 4 kilometres outside the city centre, making them a little inconvenient to reach by public transport (even though there are buses).
This time, I finally went to visit the Terme, and in this blog post, I will tell you everything you need to know. From prices to parking and my experience there, after reading this article, you will be more than prepared to put Terme dei Papi on your travel bucket list!
