The hotel’s central location in the Sallustiano area provides guests with privileged access to iconic attractions such as the magnificent Villa Borghese gardens, the splendid Borghese Gallery, and the world-famous Spanish Steps—all within comfortable walking distance.

What truly sets Penelope Holiday apart, as reflected in its outstanding 9.2 rating, is the personalized experience it offers to every guest. Unlike larger chain hotels, this intimate 3-star establishment provides the authentic atmosphere of a Roman residence combined with professional hospitality standards.

Whether you’re visiting Rome for its archaeological wonders, renaissance masterpieces, culinary delights, or simply to absorb the inimitable atmosphere of Italian life, Penelope Holiday offers the ideal base for your Roman adventure.

Reviews
Umang from France (10/10)
The property was good. Francesca and her husband made sure that we have the most comfortable stay. Though we booked a small room, when they saw that we have a lot of luggage, they shifted us to a bigger room. The room was very nice and it was cleaned everyday. Even the towels were changed everyday. Not just that, Francesca suggested us some great restaurants and places to visit in Rome, even without us asking about it. This helped us so much. The location is great as well. Some amazing restaurants and cafes nearby and just 15 mins by walk to Trevi fountain. Loved our stay here. Would love to stay at the same place during our next visit. Very friendly and helpful hosts !!!
Marian-ionut from Romania (10/10)
The hosts were very helpful, answered to messages almost instantly and updated our room without asking for anything in exchange.
The room was very clean, and had a nice view.
The bus station was 1 minute away, great restaurants, gelaterias and cafes around.
Sights like Trevi fountain and Spanish steps were 20 minutes away.
Great price-quality ratio.Castro from Spain (10/10)
The owners of the apartment were lovely and helped us and recommended many very good places.
Hazal from Turkey (10/10)
We stayed here for three nights with my spouse. We had originally booked a small room, but since there were vacancies, they gave us a larger one. The hotel is in a safe location close to Roma Termini. There are many high-quality restaurants nearby.
The hosts, Francesca and Volter, gave us great recommendations on transportation, local restaurants, and shopping spots. They are lovely people and were very helpful. I will definitely stay here again when I return!Nevena from Serbia (10/10)

Delaney from Malta (10/10)
We had a truly wonderful stay here. The owners were incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality was exceptional, always available to assist with anything we needed and offering helpful local tips and gave us many suggestions of local places to eat at that were less touristy. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, ensuring a relaxing stay. We highly recommend staying here for anyone looking for a cozy, charming place with personal, attentive service! : )
Gisella from Portugal (10/10)
We really couldn't have asked for better hosts during our stay in Rome! Francesca and Walter were super helpful, kind, and welcoming. They gave us great recommendations and made our check-in/check-out easy. The room was clean and tidy, with daily cleaning service, and everything we needed to be comfortable. The flat is in a great location with plenty of public transportation options close by. Would stay here again without hesitation!
