Italy · community hub: The Ghetto (Portico d'Ottavia) · airport FCO, about 45 min by car. Everything below was checked against the sources on each listing in November 2026; confirm times with the shul before you rely on them.
Rome has no eruv: the community FAQ answers 'No, there is not' and Chabad Piazza Bologna agrees (both read 1 Nov 2026), so do not carry outdoors on Shabbat; no status page applies. Shabbat key belts are available at the Great Synagogue.
Great Synagogue about 1 min walk. Rabbinate of Rome certified (Beth Din Rome, Chalav Israel); kosher breakfast incl. Shabbat before or after shul; Shabbat key, hot plate, boiler and candles in all rooms; staff help book Shabbat meals, shul seats, mikvah. No Shabbat elevator stated. A guest review says it is apartment-style with no front desk; another thanks staff for the Shabbat set-up. · +39 327 499 6520 (WhatsApp) · info@nemancollection.com
Ghetto, next to the Great Synagogue. Complimentary kosher breakfast for kosher guests; listing mentions a Shabbat boiler and key belt. Elevator not stated as Shabbat mode (a guest mentions a small one). Google shows reception 8:00-18:00 daily; 5 rooms in a converted apartment, and one guest was locked out on arrival, so arrange check-in before Shabbat. Guests report: Shabbat key belt and urn plus a fully kosher continental breakfast (TripAdvisor review, Feb 2023); 'very accommodating for those who are Shomer Shabbat' (TripAdvisor, May 2022); kosher breakfast again praised Oct 2026. Booking.com Q&A: self check-in for late arrivals.

Guests report: a 2019 guest blog saw guests brought a fully kosher breakfast in disposable trays; Booking.com Q&A: no late check-out when full, luggage storage offered. Booking.com lists both key and key-card access and no review mentions a Shabbat key, so ask for a mechanical key before booking. · +39 06 6880 9597 (Google listing) · book via Jewish Compass listing
Kosher breakfast on request for the whole stay; Jewish Compass places it in the Ghetto Quarter (about 500 m from the Great Synagogue by map, across the Tiber). Shabbat key and elevator not stated. One guest review says the rooms are up about five floors with no elevator. TripAdvisor guests (2024-26) describe a small old lift to the 3rd floor and no front desk (May 2026), which conflicts with the Google reviewer's five floors with no elevator, so ask. No review mentions Shabbat, a key belt or kosher breakfast. · +39 338 360 0283 (Google listing) · book via Jewish Compass listing

TripAdvisor (May 2026): two-person elevator with steps before it. · +39 06 9453 8750 (Google listing)
Guests report: kosher breakfast provided, usually included in the price, and metal keys rather than key cards, with self check-in codes sent before arrival for late arrivals (Booking.com Q&A, read 1 Nov 2026; the answer mentions COVID-era limits and Booking's facility list shows both key and key-card access, so confirm a mechanical key and whether the door code works on Shabbat). Listed as Little Queen Suite on Google and Booking.com. On the Jewish Community of Rome guest-house list: kosher meals on request. Its own site says nothing on kosher or Shabbat. A Google reviewer calls it a 5-minute walk to the Jewish Ghetto; about 8-10 min to the Great Synagogue by map. Breakfast is served on a terrace; guests mention a very small elevator (out of order for one 2025 guest) and steps to top-floor rooms. · +39 339 1122460 · info@littlequeen.it

Guest reviews mention Metro a few metres away and a hostess who recommends kosher restaurants. Google lists reception open 24 hours. Piazza Bologna side. Shares a phone with The Home in Rome. TripAdvisor's listing for The Home in Rome is run from an account named La Casa di Eva, so it is probably the same operator; ask whether the Shabbat key belt applies here too. · +39 06 86328734 · +39 335 6498226 · info@kosherbbroma.it

Seen in older guides, checked Nov 2026: Nonna Betta (Via del Portico d'Ottavia 16): not certified. Own site says 'kosher style' with no supervision named, it is absent from the Rome community kosher list, and Google shows it open Friday evening and Saturday lunch, so it is not Shabbat-observant. · Kosher Bistrot (Via di S. Maria del Pianto 68/69, +39 06 686 4398): it exists (Google: cafe and wine bar, closed Saturday, 2.6 stars from 81 reviews, some complaining about prices), but it is absent from the Rome community kosher list and no certifier is named, so its kashrut is unverified and it is not added. La Taverna del Ghetto (Portico d'Ottavia 8) and Il Giardino Romano (Portico d'Ottavia 18, the only 'Giardino' Google returns in the Ghetto; older guides write 'Il Giardino di Giulietta') are ordinary Italian restaurants that Google shows open on Saturday, and neither is on the community list, so they are not Shabbat-observant kosher options. Ristorante Angelo and Terra: Not found on the community kosher list or Chabad's lists as of Nov 2026 (checked Google Places in English, Italian and Hebrew, and Chabad Piazza Bologna's kosher-food list); ask Chabad of Rome on +39 333 813 0919. · Chabad Piazza Bologna house (Viale di Villa Massimo 39): unusable since the 24 Aug 2026 fire; relocation campaign under way, no temporary address published as of 1 Nov 2026, Shabbat meals only via host families. · Chabad Hamerkaz Friday-night dinners: only July dates (3, 10, 17) on its site; winter dates not found online as of Nov 2026 (checked its site, Google and Chabad Rome pages); ask Chabad of Rome on +39 333 813 0919. · Marlen's gelato (Via del Portico d'Ottavia 1/B, +39 06 4423 3067): Chalav Yisrael under the Rome Beth Din per chabadroma.org, but Google shows Friday to 17:00, after winter candle-lighting, so not added. Kosher Cakes not added for lack of hours. · Chabad Monteverde (Bais Chabad of Rome, Via Giuseppe Pianese 27b, +39 06 6579 5569 per Google; Rabbi Shalom Hazan, Italian nusach per Totally Jewish Travel): listed as open for Shabbat and holidays by an undated university list but no times published anywhere read, and about 4 km from the Ghetto, so not added. No report found that the Aug 2026 fire touched it; the fire reports concern the Piazza Bologna house. · Little Queen on TripAdvisor: a name search returned Little Queen Pantheon (Via del Collegio Capranica 4), a different property, so its reviews were not used.
