Nihonbashi is the name of a district in Tokyo where Japan’s Emperor has his residence. Lorena and Maurizio are very fond of Japan, a country where they have  lived  for a long time.

At a short distance from Nihonbashi B&B  (about 3 km.) there is the Palalottomatica, a huge auditorium which hosts  pop and rock concerts, sporting events,  large conventions and competitive state examinations. Within easy reach there is Euroma 2, a vast Shopping Centre.
The Nuova Fiera di Roma (New Rome’s Fair), at a few kilometres, can be reached in 10 minutes approximately, and it takes the same time to reach Castel Romano Outlet, one of Europe’s largest shopping centre, with 95 shops selling products of the best known brands.
Within easy reach are also Ostia’s beach, Leonardo da Vinci (Fiumicino) Airport and the Alban Hills (Colli Albani), whose 13  characteristics small towns, scattered over the hillsides, are collectively known as the Castelli Romani.
In the neighbourhood there are  tennis clubs and gyms and an  indoor swimming pool. You can do some jogging in a large park ore go shopping in a characteristic market. There are also laundries, pizzerias and several restaurants and the Sheraton Four Points Hotel, with bars and restaurants, is 300 metres from the Nihonbashi.

Nihonbashi  is an attractive B&B in a green and very quiet area, away from the city fuss but very well connected to the centre by public transport.

The house has three floors. At the ground floor there is a spacious hall with a stone fire-place and from there you enter a veranda giving onto the garden where breakfast is served.  From the hall a wooden staircase leads to the first floor.

The floor is made of TATAMI (typical floor of Japanese houses, consisting of rice stubbles coated with matting), on which FUTONS are set down (FUTONS are mattresses made of various layers of raw cotton fibres, faced with a  pure organic cotton lining, hand-sewn and  hand-quilted). The Futon is an orthopaedic mattress which aids air circulation: it originates from the ancient Japanese culture and its use proves  to be a very simple  way   to enjoy  a healthy  rest.

The Zen room has a  ceiling fan, a Tv set  and  ADSL wireless internet connection. Private bathroom with shower.

Leaving the Zen room you go back to the landing from which a wooden staircase leads to  the upper landing with a large bookcase, and  you enter the next room, the mansard.

The Mansard is a very spacious room with a double and a single bed in  the ethnic style, a quaint old oaken floor and a sloping roof. The contrast between the bright colours of the curtains  and bedspreads and the white walls is very effective.
This room has a private bathroom with bath and shower, air conditioning, Tv set, DVD player, fridge and  ADSL wireless internet connection.

Breakfast time is particularly important, it’s your way to say good day to the world, that’s why you must have a good start!
Freshly-made bread, homemade biscuits and cakes,  marmalade and jams,  fruit squashes  and cereals: everything we serve comes from organic farming.
