During renovations in 2003 (adding private baths, antique reproduction furnishings, and plaster stucco ceiling decorations appeared in all the rooms) they discovered frescoes in two of the rooms.
Want more charm? Percy Bysshe Shelley once rented the top floor as an apartment.
Despite all this, prices remain modest by Roman standards. The rooms have satellite TV and free WiFi.
If the Navona is full, the Natales will place you in the lovely six-room Residence Zanardelli off the north end of Piazza Navona.
They also rent a pair of apartments with kitchens and frescoed ceilings.

In January, 2011, Rome began charging a hotel bed tax. This is the city's doing, and sadly it is not a scam.
The following tax rates are per person, per night for all guests over the age of 10 and can be charged for stays of up to 10 days:
So a couple staying three nights in a four-star room would pay an extra €18.
Some hotels have begun folding this tax into their quoted rates; others tack it on when you go to check out, so be prepared.
Planning your day: Rome wasn't built in a day, and you'd be hard-pressed to see it in that brief a time as well. Still, you can cram a lot into just a day or three.
To help you get the most out of your limited time in the Eternal City, here are some perfect itineraries, whether you have one, two, three, or four days to spend in Rome. » Rome itineraries
