244490 5 Location 580666 <p><em><strong>The Starhotel Michelangelo</strong></em> proved to be one of my favorite places to stay abroad. It was very clean, quiet and beautifully decorated.&nbsp;Best of all was&nbsp;it's location!&nbsp; (The dome of St. Peter's Basilica&nbsp;can be seen from the street outside of the hotel's front entrance! ) </p><p>Nearby, I discovered a local produce market and several small gift shops and restaurants.&nbsp; The vendor on the corner of "Villa della Stazione di San Pietro" serves wonderful pizza by the slice or pie and I highly recommend trying them if you're in town and looking for a quick, inexpensive&nbsp;bite.&nbsp; You can also purchase an all day&nbsp;bus pass and map of the city at the newstand around the corner. </p> 2006-11-29T05:12:36-08:00 589299713 2006-05-17T17:00:00-07:00 0 -9223372036854775790 173939 2963822 244490 0 222041 0.0396609565759879 2006-05-14T17:00:00-07:00 Published 25.0 Wonderful 2006-12-08T01:23:27-08:00 84538 0
