Trastevere has been swamped in the past few years by tourists looking to escape the tourists that swamp the more central areas like Trevi or Campo Marzio. As such, there’s quite a lot to be said for Song of Spring’s position, just removed from the pedestrianised centre of the Rione but still within walking distance to the bars and restaurants. It’s also kept in sparkling condition by Silvana, the host. The design is simple, but very comfortable and for this price it’s a steal.
