Bad Romance Swingers Club

Bad Romance is a small swingers club in the Testaccio district of Rome, open every night from 22:30. The owner presents it as an international lounge, aimed at couples, selected single men and foreign guests passing through the city.

The space is deliberately intimate, designed for chatting and getting to know each other rather than for big parties. Those who like it speak of an intimate venue, easy to reach, clean, with a well-balanced crowd and hands-on management.

Opinions, however, are sharply divided. More than one visitor found the spaces too cramped to move around and play, the organisation lacking and a group of regulars not very open to newcomers; a foreign couple also reports missing locks in the private room.

It may appeal to those looking for an intimate night out in the centre, but it is best to arrive with modest expectations.
