Arash from Tunisia (10/10)
I'm not in the habit of writing reviews, but this time, I feel compelled to write a few lines out of respect for the staff of this accommodation.
I booked a room at this establishment for three nights for my parents, who are from Iran.
I would like to thank Mr. Stefano (I hope I spelled his name correctly) for his warm hospitality, high sense of responsibility, and kindness.
He made this trip a memorable experience for my parents, and we will definitely choose this accommodation again for our future travels.
I wish the staff of this establishment health and happiness.

We spent a week in Rome at Lory House, and it was wonderful. The location of the apartment is excellent, close to the metro and Vatican City.
Stefano, his mother, and Bianca were very friendly, we had great conversations, and the coffee was one of the best I've ever tasted.Kanna from Japan (8/10)
Staff…they are so so so kind and friendly.
Astrid from South Africa (10/10)
The property is so well situated on a walking-only street near the Vatican City. The rooms were very comfortable and Stafano was a wonderful host, the breakfasts were exceptional.
Redguy41 from Croatia (10/10)
Great and comfortable stay. The room was facing a side street, which wasn't too noisy and the window stops most of the noise. It's very warm in the winter so that's a plus. TV's got a lot of channels, the shower is great, the bathroom is not too small and the room is big enough. Sockets on both sides of the bed and a few others. The bed is comfy, on the softer side. The instructions for self-check-in were very accurate and it's easy to find the place, being 2 minutes from the metro (Ottaviano station) and a few more minutes to the bus that takes you along the river to the center. The breakfast was modest but good and tasty (continental), and the espresso was great. Pleasant for a few nights' stay. Perfect location for visiting the Vatican.
Merbecks from Italy (10/10)
Plentiful breakfast! Well located, with easy access to the metro (<100m)
