The Hotel Domus Aventina is situated in the heart of historic Rome. Via di Santa Prisca, 11B, is located extremely close to the famous Circus Maximus, renowned for chariot races during the time of the Roman Empire. The Palatine Hill, centremost of all the Seven Hills of Rome, stands between the Circo Massimo and Roman Forum. According to Roman mythology Romulus and Remus were found on the Palatine Hill by the wolf that looked after them. A shepherd then raised the children and Romulus went on to found Rome. The origins of Rome do lie on the Palatine, where recent excavations show that people have lived there since 1000 BC. The Roman Forum was the political, judicial and commercial heart or the Roman Empire. The area is packed with ancient monuments, temples and Roman arches.

Located on the second most important Roman hill, the Aventine Hill, the Hotel Domus Aventina gifts guests some of the most inspiring and spectacular views over Rome.

It is easy moving around Rome with its various means of public transport: trams, buses, trains and the underground metro lines. Trams and buses operate along Viale Aventino which runs perpendicular to Circo Massimo. Circo Massimo metro stop is 200 metres away from the hotel and links travellers to Termini (three stops), the Colosseum (one stop) and the Basilica San Paulo (three stops).
