    great location and super friendly and helpful staff!

  • Jose from Ireland (10/10)

    The room (Portico d'Ottavia) was perfect. The location, the room itself (kitchen, 2 rooms, lounge, tv, internet,…) all you can ask is there. Also, the staff is amazing. A few days before, we were contacted by Whatsup with everything we needed. All the time looking after us. I cannot recommend enough.
