Anybody has info on fair and reasonably priced B&B (preferably under 300,000 lira each triple room)in Rome (near Spanish Steps or close to City Center) and Milan? <BR> <BR>Our family of 6 adults will spend Christmas in Italy this year. <BR> <BR>Thanks!

<BR>why don't you try a hotel. Most hotels provide a good continental breakfast. Look into the Minotel website. specifically in Rome, try Hotel Georgi. It costs probably less than L300,000 a night. It is clean and near Termini train station and their subway. Also in the vicinity are several bus stops to various destination in the city. There is an express bus to the Vatican -Bus 40 express. The bus ticket good for a day is L6,000 or less than $2 - good for the subway (they call it Metropolitan) and the bus. Spanish Steps is only 3 stops from the Termini.

Check-out hoteljulia.it or com. my daughter is there right now and says its great location and price. I'mm leaving Tues for Italy and will be at Domus Julia and paying $74 with breakfast.

oh yea...hotel Julia is a 3*and offers <BR>B&B, Apartments and hotel rooms.

For Milan, book early. I've just come back from a short break, and it was very difficult to find a hotel, in any price range.

Would you try a convent in Rome? We have booked 2 nights in one in the Vatican city. $35 AUS dollars each a night (not much in $US).They do have a curfew but... www.romeguide.com <BR>We have a triple room with private bathroom.
