Arrival by CAR

If you arrive by car or by other means of private transport, you will have to set “Via Alberto da Giussano 10, 00176, Rome” as the final address on the navigator.

Arrival by TRAIN

There are two main train stations serving the apartments:

  • TERMINI Station, the central station of Rome
  • TIBURTINA Station,  where High Velocity Trains arrives

Following you find instructions to reach the apartment from the stations.

When arrived in TERMINI Station exit at the left at Via Giolitti where you have to take the tram 5 or 14 (from 6th of October till 7th of December replaced by BUSSES due to home at work on the road) towards “Gerani” or “Togliatti” to reach the apartment.

This is the Google streetview of the tram stop to reach number 5 or number 14:

After leaving the tram you have to walk towards the building in this view:

If you arrive at TIBURTINA Station you can take a bus at “Portonaccio” stop, that is not so close, or you can take the Metro line B towards Termini and then take the tram (more informations in the directions from Termini).
The latter is the most comfortable soution unless you want to take a Taxi

TAXI

Taking a taxi from a station like Termini or Tiburtina, or from an Airport like Ciampino or Fiumicino can be an option.

  • From airports can cost:
    • from Ciampino (CIA) between 35€ and 55€ approximately
    • from Fiumicino (FCO) between 50€ and 70€ approximately
  • from Termini station the fare is between € 12.00 and € 18.50
  • night and / or holiday surcharge may apply
  • luggages other than the first costs € 1.00

ATTENTION:

  • legally authorized Taxi in Rome are WHITE with a Roma Capitale banner on the side doors
  • always check the taximeter is working.
  •  when you take the taxi from a parkplace the meter must start from a fare between €3.00 and €6.50 (night fare).
  • if you call a Taxi to come to pick you up somewhere, the taximeter will start counting from the very moment it starts to drive toward your position. This can be expensive and out of your control.

UBER

UBER in Italy can work only with Black Cars, that means only the NCC (Noleggio Con Conducente, the Car Service mentioned above) can be Uber Cars.
This is the reason why they can be more expensive than booking a car service by itself.a taxi, but useful if you are many people and/or have lots of luggages.
