How do I get to the
city centre of Rome from Fiumicino Airport also
known as Leonardo da Vinci International Airport?
Most clients come to the city centre
of Rome by train so when you arrive at Fiumicino
head for the “FS” sign which also
features the picture of a train. Trains leave
every half hour at 07 and 37 minutes past the
hour. The first train leaves at 06:37 and the
last one at 11:37. You can buy a ticket from the
Tobacconists found inside the station near the
platform. The cost of the ticket is 8.80 Euro.
NB a taxi from Fiumicino Airport to Hotel Pincio
will cost approximately 50 Euro
How do I get to the
city centre of Rome from Ciampino International
Airport?
Ryanair, Flyglobespan and Easyjet all
arrive at Rome Ciampino Airport which is Rome’s
second airport. Ciampino is slightly closer to
Rome than Fiumicino but slightly more difficult
to travel from. Ryanair and Easyjet provide a
courtesy bus which costs approximately 7 euro
one way. Alternatively, take the bus (Cotral)
i.e. a blue bus from directly in front of the
airport. This bus will take you to Anagnina Metro
Stop which is the last stop on Line A. The bus
ticket costs 1 euro and the journey time is about
20 minutes with the first departure at 06:50 and
the last at 11:40 pm, NB you should buy it at
the Tobacconists Inside the Airport as you cannot
buy them on board. Take the Metro and get off
at Piazza Spagna – the Pincio is only a
2 minute walk from the Metro Stop Piazza Spagna.
The journey time in Metro from Anagnina to Repubblica
is 30 minutes. NB a taxi from Ciampino airport
to the hotel will cost approximately 40 Euro.

How do we get to your
hotel if driving and do you have parking?
From Rome’s ring road the GRA or
Grande Raccordo Anulare (direction Firenze –
Nomentana) take the exit “Nomentana”
direzione centro e keep going straight on. You
will get to some large arched stone gates which
is Porta Pia.. Go past the stone gates and take
the first right into Viale Castro Pretorio. Turn
left at the national library (big brown building
on the right). Turn right at Piazza della Liberta’
and proceed to the end of road where you will
reach Via 20 Settembre. Turn left here and proceed
to the end, turn right at the lights and go straight
down to Via Veneto, turn left a Via Veneto and
proceed to Piazza Barberini. Turn right at Barberini
down Via del Tritone – go right and take
the first right up to the top of the hill. This
is the end of Via Capo Case so park anywhere you
can and proceed to the hotel. NB the hotel can
organise parking in a nearby garage – a
small supplement will be payable for this service.
Does the Hotel have
a Swimming Pool?
No, the hotel itself does not have its’
own swimming pool but is happy to provide directions
on how to get to one. NB the Piscine delle Rose
in EUR is easy to get to and is an Olympic Size
Swimming Pool in a nice location. Alternatively,
why not go to the beach in Anzio, Ostia or Subaudia
which have both recently won Blue Flag awards
for their cleanliness and facilities.
Does the hotel have
a restaurant?
No, the Pincio does not have a Restaurant
but our concierge will be happy to suggest one
of the many trattorias, restaurants or pizzerias
located in Via Flavia and the surrounding streets.

and facilities for the handicapped?

is no charge for this service.

the Room Rate?

system are per room include everything i.e. total
cost of the room comprehensive of tax, buffet
breakfast, and service.
Is your hotel near the
Parthenon?
No, most definitely not. The Parthenon
is in Athens (Greece) you are probably thinking
of the Pantheon which is about a 15 minute walk
from the Pincio Hotel and definitely well worth
a visit
Why did they build the
Colosseum so close to the Metro Stop?
We don’t know, its’ a bit
silly but who cares as its’ really handy
Where can I see that
“ET” thing with the two fingers almost
touching each other?
Oh, you must mean Michelangelo’s
Ceiling which is found in the Sistine Chapel (no,
we don’t know where the other 15 chapels
are). Michelangelo took 7 years to create the
creation of man so please go and see it...
I’m lost, why
doesn’t Rome have the grid system like modern
cities in the US?
Not got a clue but might have something
to do with 2 and a half thousand years of history
