Trevi, Rome — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Trevi is the second rione of Rome, its name traced to the Latin trivium and the three streets that once met at Piazza dei Crociferi.
About Trevi
Where to stay in Trevi
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Hotels run from converted upper floors around Piazza dei Crociferi to plainer guest houses on the streets climbing toward Santa Susanna, and the rione stays small enough to cross end to end on foot. Everything sits within walking reach. You will find it works best for short stays weighted toward museums and evening walking.
Rooms facing the squares trade quiet for the view, while addresses near the Baths of Diocletian give more space and less noise.
About Trevi
What are the main landmarks in Trevi?
The scale shifts abruptly here. The Baths of Diocletian take up an enormous imperial footprint, and the Museo Nazionale Romano divides its collections between those halls and Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, only a short walk apart. Santa Susanna, Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini and San Nicola da Tolentino agli Orti Sallustiani stand along the higher streets.
St Paul's Within the Walls and Santa Maria Odigitria al Tritone serve their own congregations. The Temple of the gens Flavia adds one more ancient name.
What is the history of Trevi?
Three streets converging on Piazza dei Crociferi gave the quarter its name, from the Latin trivium, and that square still lies beside the modern Trevi square which carries the word onward. The arms carry three swords. Rome counted Trevi among its rioni from 1300, and Municipio I administers the same ground.
Later centuries filled it with churches and, over the imperial ruins, the museum halls that hold the Museo Nazionale Romano.
Where is Trevi?
Trevi occupies a tight stretch of Municipio I, running from Piazza dei Crociferi across to Santa Susanna and the Baths of Diocletian.
