Daphne Inn

Central, chic, American-Italian owned B&B, with friendly multilingual staff who offer lots of local information

Chic and B&B are not concepts you often put together. But this is Italy, where style matters, and Rome’s Daphne is a boutique B&B. There are two branches, each minutes from Piazza Barbarini, bang in Rome’s historic centre – seven-room Daphne Trevi on a cobbled lane, and eight-room Daphne Veneto on a slicker-feeling street parallel to once-fashionable Via Veneto (which starred in Fellini’s La Dolce Vita). Both offer a calm retreat from Rome’s cultural thrills or somewhere to drop once you’ve shopped.

Décorwise Daphne is like diving into a cappuccino, with lots of cream, coffee and chocolate sprinklings. Style is an international hybrid: with Japanese-style wiggly twigs in burnished vases, and touches of Aboriginal, African and Chinese art. It’s young, funky, and family-friendly, and all thoughtfully put together by Elyssa and Alessandro, an American-Italian couple. Their welcoming, helpful staff will (if you want) offer plenty of insider tips on what to do.
