3Monteverde

Monteverde is an escape, a retreat, a place to recharge while hiding from the noise and hustle of the city below; its shaded streets and slower pace in exchange for a sweaty walk up the Gianicolo hill.

A fifteen-minute tram ride from Piazza Venezia, Monteverde begins where Trastevere ends and stretches West across the city, past Villa Doria Pamphilli. In this self-contained village, commerce is based more on nurturing relationships than exploiting tourists.
