La zona Testaccio and Trastevere

Testaccio–Trastevere is one of the most authentic and vibrant areas of Rome, located along the Tiber and close to the Historic Centre, Aventine, Ostiense and Gianicolo. It includes the Testaccio and Trastevere rioni, two neighbourhoods with strong and complementary identities. Testaccio preserves the city’s popular soul, with Mercato Testaccio, the former Mattatoio, the Pyramid of Cestius, the Non-Catholic Cemetery and a highly recognisable food tradition. Trastevere is one of Rome’s most iconic districts, known for its narrow streets, squares, trattorias, restaurants and proximity to landmarks such as Santa Maria in Trastevere, Piazza Trilussa and Tiber Island.

Living in this area means choosing a central, dynamic part of Rome with a strong everyday life. Testaccio is ideal for those looking for an authentic, well-served neighbourhood, with shops, schools, markets and connections to Ostiense, Piramide and the city centre. Trastevere offers a more historic and distinctive setting, perfect for those who enjoy walking, culture, dining and social life. The property offer includes apartments in period buildings, homes in historic streets, renovated units, one-bedroom apartments for investment and larger homes in more residential streets.

Living in Testaccio–Trastevere is perfect for those looking for a central home with a strong urban identity, nearby services and a quality of life rooted in history and neighbourhood life. For buyers and investors, it is an interesting choice because it combines stable demand, tourist and residential appeal and a property market that can hold its value over time.
