If you like shopping for tennis clothes/equipment then inside the grounds of the Foro Italico you can choose from a huge variety including all the famous brands plus some local Italian gear. Possibly the best range of tennis merchandise to be found in Italy all in one place!

Rome
If you fancy a break from playing/watching tennis then the centre of Rome is a 10 minute taxi ride from il Foro Italico.
One of the most talked about cities in the world with so much to see and do. The Colosseum, the Vatican, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Trevi fountain etc etc.
One of our local Roman tennis coaches, Iuri, will help you get to know the city from an insider's point of view. This will include the places that locals would go to eat and drink, avoiding the tourist traps.

Accommodation – The Hotel Astrid
The Astrid Hotel is located about 1.5km from the tennis courts and is only a short 5/10 minute walk to Il Foro Italico. The trip to and from the tennis court in the morning will take the form of a brisk 15/20 minute walk to warm you up or it could be a cheap 5 minute taxi ride or for the more adventurous amongst you, an electric bike ride with one of the new red JUMP bikes which are a recent addition to Rome, and are proving to be extremely popular. These are great fun and would only take 5 minutes to get to the tennis courts for just under 2 euros.
The Hotel Astrid offers all the hotel comforts including breakfast and FREE wifi. The hotel has been chosen for it's quality and location. Your accommodation, Il Foro Italico and our tennis club are all within walking distance of each other avoiding any requirement to drive in Rome! Plus it's only a short tram ride or 20 minute walk from your accommodation to the very heart of Rome!
