★★★★★2 months agoBeautiful fountain and a lovely place to take a short break while exploring the area. The atmosphere around Fontana di Paolo V is very relaxing, and the neighborhood itself is definitely worth visiting. Nice local vibe, beautiful streets, and a great spot away from the biggest tourist crowds. If you come from the city center, be prepared for a pretty steep uphill walk but the view and atmosphere are worth it.

★★★★★3 weeks agoThe fountain is very beautiful and directly opposite. It is an amazing view over Rome. If you’re staying in the area or happen to be around the area especially at Sunset, it’s definitely worth a visit.
