An Excellent Stay

An excellent stay at an excellent hotel, a 10-15 minute metro journey away from any site you would want to see in Rome, and even closer to the Vatican. Francesco is a wonderful host and took care of any needs / requests. He has great patience with any language barrier and provides a range of excellent and simple breakfast options each morning. The room and bathroom had the upmost hygiene and cleanliness and could not be faulted. All appliances such as the airconditioning and hair dryer worked perfectly with no issues, and I could not fault really anything about this stay - highly recommended!

Terrible location. Had to walk up or down 1.5 blocks of steps to reach it. Very difficult with luggage. There was no sound proofing; therefore, it was very noisy. Dogs barking as well as noise from other guests were always present. The mattress had springs which jabbed into you, making sleeping difficult. Overall, this property was not a hotel. It was a guesthouse.

Poor directions to the location ! As the property is located up a steep staircase this is a big problem. When checking out we used the property’s cab service as we were told they would help us with the luggage; the morning of departure we were given our receipt and a notice that “begged” us to meet the cab on the street. No help with baggage, There are easily 100 steps. A cab charges 45 euro for a ride; the hotel charged 60. Would appreciate transparency in the pricing; here is what a cab charges, this is what we charge, then honor your advertised services. There is no full time service desk, no frig, microwave, ice and a charge for breakfast.

The admission was inaccurate when first signing in. People should be wary of the detailed deposit, expect a significant hold on your account. We have been mosquito bitten throughout our stay there as well.

Parking was expensive and a 15 minute walk. Lots of stairs to get to the property, so people that have any difficulties physically should not book this Absolutely no tolerance for late check in. Air conditioner did not work. It is relatively close to the Vatican and the metro Within waking distance

Great B&B near Vatican

It’s a very nice B&B near Vatican. Before I booked it I was worried about the stairs and car parking; but it was easy to reach, just few stairs, and there was a street car parking space, €4 per day. The villa has a very nice garden, the stuff was so kind and helpful. The walls between rooms were actually thin but it was still very quiet during our stay. It’s in a very good location to visit most of the touristic attractions. I would certainly stay there again.

The Long Weekend

The only critizism we have is there should be a mini fridge in the bedroom & a water filling station to fill water bottles, the walk to the hotel is very step so the least that can be done is to have a standpipe close at hand to have a drink of wather.

Very noisey room and exploitative transfer costs!!

The Hotel needs sound proofing, you can hear the complete conversations of the people next door..and it is not that the other residents are noisey, rather there is only a very thin partition between rooms which means you are disturbed throughout the night with people moving around, flushing the toilet, having a shower or entering and leaving their room - it is brutal!! It is really a shame as the villa itself, the gardens and the room was lovely but it was totally spoiled by the noise factor as you simply cannot get a night of undisturbed sleep. Ironically the room had a wall mounted tv which you simply could not use due to the disturbance you would be causing to the other guests. Additionally BEWARE if you are unable to check in during appointed hours. If you are unable to do this depending upon your arrival time you have no option other than to use the villa’s pick up from the airport and you will be landed with a very hefty bill for €79 + nearly 30% tax so instead of an airport transfer cost of approximately €25 you will be landed with a bill in excess of €100 which is utterly outrageous and complete exploitation of your circumstances. The alternative advised is to book somewhere else for your first night and check in the following day...customer service?? Not in my book

A small and quiet B&B within close distance to the walls of the Vatican. Everyone was friendly and we were made to feel very welcome, our room was the perfect size, a very comfortable bed, good air conditioning and a very nice bathroom. We also found the Relais to be very quiet. It's a little way from the centre of Rome, but is only 10 minutes or so walk from the nearest Metro station which takes you quickly into Rome.
