Enjoy Anna Manieri’s Roman Hospitality
Wait till you hear this one — a double
room literally on Rome’s Spanish
Steps for 150 euros a night. Impossible, you
say? Not at Anna Manieri’s Bed and
Breakfast. The friendly and
charming Philadelphia-born
Manieri lets three doubles
in her exquisitely located
apartment. Guests enjoy a
separate entrance (with
access doors at both the top
and bottom of the Spanish Steps) and a
home-cooked breakfast served in the
owner’s dining room. Manieri, who has
lived in Rome for nearly 50 years, can
help you plan your days visiting the
Eternal City. Her daughter Sandra also
offers personalized tours. Manieri
appears to have the magic touch in
keeping her guests happy. When
low-key actor and Oscarnominee
Bill Murray, in
Rome to shoot a movie,
wanted to leave all of the
hub-bub at Rome’s posh
Hotel Eden, he sought
refuge in her home. The
B&B is closed during August. To make
a reservation, call Anna Manieri at (39)
