Hi there! I am going to Italy for my honeymoon & looking for any ideas you may have on a hotel for the first night in Rome and then heading to Tuscany for the week (that is all booked). I have been searching online and it is so overwhelming! We are looking for spend 200-300 euros and stay around the Spanish Steps/Trevi Fountain area. Does not have to be right there but just in the area. I would love a hotel that is nice comfortable romantic, not too modern but has character.
If anyone can help I would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Re: Rome Hotel Recommendation!
Here's a website I found to look up hotels in Rome, but I'm not sure if it's any good. Maybe you can use it as a starting point.

nice!! i can't wait for that part of ours either!! have a great trip :)
i promised myself that i would NEVER go back to Rome without my FI. I went with my MOH (before i met my fi) and was just so sketched out by the men there. Rude, awful, cat-calling, they just don't care!
Be careful!
Also, have lunch outside the Pantheon if you can, DELICIOUS!!!

Just an FYI- they don't care if you're with a guy either, and I guess it says lot's about me that I never really had that problem in Rome, but did have it in the town I lived in, further north. I was walking down the street, holding hands with my H when a guy walked up to me, stroked his hand down my arm and said, "Ciao, bella" *shivers* Skeeves me out every time I think about it. I yelled at him in English and he backed away because that's not the normal Italian female response.

Oh my goodness! When my Mom and I went to Rome we kept having men (who must have known we were english because they would speak in english, although pretty broken) saying how we must be sisters and that we both had the most beautiful eyes (yeah right), and always grabbing your hands and such. haha. After the 3rd man did that I asked if that was a compliment to my Mom saying she looked young, or if I should be offended that I look that much older, and then gave him the stink eye. He walked away. lol =]
Check out the Hotel Majestic. It has a ton of character but is also modern and luxurious. The hotel concierge was wonderful as well.
