Hotel Description
Nestled in the historic Aurelio district of Rome, the charming 3-star Le Scalette offers a perfect blend of comfort and authentic Italian hospitality. Situated at Rampa Brancaleone 78, this exceptional boutique hotel has garnered an impressive 9.0 rating from satisfied guests, establishing it as one of Rome’s most beloved accommodations in its category. The hotel’s strategic location places visitors in a tranquil residential neighborhood that provides a welcome retreat from the bustling tourist centers, while still maintaining convenient access to the Eternal City’s most treasured landmarks. The Aurelio district, with its distinctive local character, offers guests an opportunity to experience Rome as the locals do, with family-run trattorias, traditional cafés, and picturesque streets just steps from the hotel’s entrance.
Le Scalette’s proximity to the Vatican City is perhaps one of its most compelling features, with St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums accessible within a reasonable walking distance or a short transit ride. The hotel’s position in Rome’s western quarter also provides convenient access to other notable attractions, including the historic Trastevere neighborhood known for its medieval charm and vibrant nightlife. The property itself embodies the classical Roman aesthetic, with thoughtfully designed interiors that balance modern amenities with touches of traditional Italian design. Guests consistently praise the immaculate cleanliness reflected in the outstanding 9.0 rating, as well as the attentive service that has become a hallmark of this distinguished establishment. Each morning, visitors can begin their day of exploration with a typical Italian breakfast before setting out to discover the archaeological wonders, cultural treasures, and culinary delights that define the Roman experience. Whether you’re visiting Rome for its religious significance, its unparalleled art collections, or simply to soak in the incomparable atmosphere of one of Europe’s most storied capitals, Le Scalette offers an ideal base from which to experience all the city has to offer. The hotel’s excellent public transportation connections ensure that even Rome’s more distant attractions, from the Colosseum to the Spanish Steps, remain easily accessible despite the quieter setting of the Aurelio district.
What truly sets Le Scalette apart, however, is the personal touch that has earned it such exceptional guest ratings. The attentive staff, many of whom have served at the property for years, provide insider recommendations and assistance that transform an ordinary stay into an unforgettable Roman holiday. Many returning guests specifically mention the warm welcome and personalized attention in their glowing reviews that contribute to the impressive 9.0 rating. The hotel’s intimate size ensures that each visitor receives individualized service rarely found in larger establishments, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a private Roman residence than a commercial hotel. Rooms are thoughtfully appointed with all necessary amenities for a comfortable stay, while maintaining the distinctive character that reflects the hotel’s Roman heritage. As evening falls, guests can return from their adventures to find a peaceful haven away from the city’s crowds, perhaps enjoying a glass of local wine on the hotel’s terrace while contemplating the day’s discoveries. For travelers seeking an authentic Roman experience in comfortable surroundings with exceptional service, Le Scalette offers a perfect combination of convenience, comfort, and cultural immersion that consistently exceeds expectations, as evidenced by its outstanding guest satisfaction scores.

Hong from China (9/10)
The house is very clean and well equipped,just for two people. There are a lot of restaurants and coffee shops, very delicious.At night very quiet.
Nicos from United Kingdom (9/10)
Location was beautiful . Quiet and peaceful . Rooms were clean and very well equipped . Beds were extremely comfortable. Our visit was in February and the apartment was nice and warm and the shower was nice and hot and good pressure. Nice courtyard to sit and have a morning coffee or a nice glass of wine in the evening sun. Location was walking distance to attractions such as the Sistine chapel and was very easy to get to the bus stop to travel a little further. Shops, cafes and a laundrette in walking distance. Fabrizio was very kind and friendly too.

Sarai from United States (9/10)
We had a last-minute change to our plans and had to find a ride to the location. Thankfully, Fabrizio was able to pick us up for an additional cost. Saved us the trouble since it's our first time here. The location was perfect. Down the street, you have a couple of restaurants, and around the corner is a little market. Plus, Fabrizio sent us a list of everything in the area to try. We had plenty of options for places to tour and restaurants to eat at. The bus stop is also down the block, and the walk to the Vatican was quick. There are a lot of stairs to the location. The first set is about 10. Then there's roughly 5 sets of 5 with some walking in between. My mom has a bad knee and was able to do the stairs with some breaks in between.

Anna from Bulgaria (9/10)
The location is perfect. Very closed to bus station for the city center, train station and walk distance to Vatican City and Castel Sant'Angelo.
The house was very clean and with all amenities inside. We had a long flight delay, but all the time we were in contact with the owner, who met us at the airport by car.
