Casa Banzo

Not an easy place to find (there’s no sign), Casa Banzo has three apartments – two on the ground floor, one on the third – and a stately double room in a monumental 16th-century palazzo near Campo de’ Fiori. The facilities are modest but the setting is superb and the deluxe double is a spectacle in itself with its 5m-high wooden ceilings. No breakfast, no lift and a minimum two-night stay.
