[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you spending a week in rome? Maybe 2 nights, then head elsewhere. Florence is a quick and easy train ride.[/quote]

I disagree with PP.

OP, if your teens enjoy history, historical building and architecture, and just being in a city with so much culture, good food and daily gelatos( so much cheaper and better than a mid icecream here), then, I would spend a week in Rome. I would rent an apartment or even try a monastery or hostel stay ( if no plans to cook). Many hostels and monasteries have private rooms- most have breakfast included.

When we visited Rome 14 years ago, we did AirBnB in a residential building, 5 mins walk from Trevi Fountain. It was great because kids were younger and we were able to cook dinners at home. The cons- lack of a/c in all rooms except one. Young adults partying late into the night- noise factor (especially since windows had to be kept open). Lastly, the garbage and recycle trucks would make loud noises very early in the mornings.

Recently, when we traveled to Rome with two teens- we booked Hotel Primavera- excellent location and good breakfast. They may have discounts via 3rd party booking sites for one week stays.

Lastly, I would highly recommend a day trip to Pompeii and Florence or Bolgna( if foodie in the family).

Have a great trip![/quote]

A day trip to Florence? No, spend a few nights there.

Has the OP taken their kids to Italy before? If not, then spending the entire week in Rome is ridiculous, I'm sorry.[/quote]

Several PPs disagree with you.[/quote]

Ha, as if I care! Personally, a week there is not for me but you do you. [/quote]
