Location and Contacts
BDB Navona Rome
In the Ponte district, where Rome is explored on foot
A pedestrian street right next to the city's most breathtaking square
BDB Rooms Navona is located at Via dei Gigli d'Oro 6, a pedestrian street running right behind Piazza Navona. From here, the historic center unfolds all around: Bernini's fountains, the cobblestone alleys leading to the Pantheon, the market stalls of Campo de' Fiori, and the river with Castel Sant'Angelo just a short distance away. A location praised by guests with top ratings, as it allows you to reach on foot almost every destination in Rome's expansive city center.
Right outside the door: the neighborhood that became Rome's salon
Baroque fountains, artisan shops, and markets just a few minutes' walk away
Life in this corner of the city revolves around Piazza Navona, built over the outline of the Stadium of Domitian and dominated by Bernini's Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi and the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone. Just a short walk away lies Campo de' Fiori with its morning market and traditional trattorias that fill up come dinner time, while toward the river, the striking silhouette of Castel Sant'Angelo frames the view across the bridge. In between lies a maze of cobblestone alleys dotted with artisan shops, galleries, and small workshops.
The district transforms throughout the day: in the morning, it belongs to locals making their way to work; by day, it fills with travelers gathered around the fountains; in the evening, quiet descends upon the side streets as the crowds thin out. Via dei Gigli d'Oro remains set apart from this hustle—pedestrianized, serene, and tucked away just steps from the neighborhood's most photographed spot.
