“This villa provides a calm, historically rich base with individually themed rooms, situated in the peaceful Aventine neighborhood; it's a pleasant walk to the Colosseum and Circus Maximus. The garden and personalized service create a memorable, quiet retreat from central Rome's bustle. I find it's a particularly good choice for a slower-paced visit.”

Charming Stay in Quiet Area

quiet retreat secluded garden

I found the location provided a quiet retreat from the city's bustle! The secluded garden was a definite plus. The common rooms also had a nice appeal.

I did find the breakfast options to be somewhat limited. There was not much variety in the buffet, and I did get a little tired of the selections after a couple of days. Also the fruit juices tasted a bit too artificial.

rude staff overpriced food

The breakfast was good with a decent selection of continental options. The jacuzzi bath was nice, and I used IT after walking A LOT.

The staff seemed rude and snobbish. They were frankly quite disrespectful to my family. The food and drink options were very limited and VERY overpriced. One of the bedrooms was so small. It was not comfortable for two people.
