Clean. Friendly.
Victoria from United States (10/10)
This property was in a great area and the owner at the front desk was so nice and helpful! It was clean and perfect for what we needed. We were a little late for breakfast, and the staff were kind enough to still give us coffee and a treat. Would definitely recommend!
Deniz from Belgium (9/10)
Lorenzo gave us a very warm welcome and provided useful tips for exploring Rome. The location in Trastevere is also excellent, as you can reach the city center by tram or even on foot (only a half-hour walk to the center). Honestly, for a short stay in Rome, you don’t need more than this B&B.
Aline from Canada (9/10)
We had a wonderful stay there. The location was great and we enjoyed our breakfasts in the morning. Our room was clean and well furnished. Highly recommend and would stay there again!
Brenda from United Kingdom (9/10)
Room was clean and was a good size. Close to bars and restaurants and about a 40 minute walk from centre of Rome. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was good.
Monika from Czech Republic (9/10)
Perfect location, easy to walk to any interesting place, it has all you need. The host is the nicest person preparing your breakfast (basic, but ok for few days) and taking care of you.
Michelle from Netherlands (10/10)
Lorenzo is a wonderful host. Makes you feel welcome, has tips and will help you however way he can. I unfortunately ended up with an ear infection after flying, Lorenzo helped me see a doctor and was very helpful afterwards. Sonia was wonderful too. Can't recommend this place enough, it's like staying at family. 🧡
It was my second visit, would definitely return.
The rooms are great. They're simple, but have all you need for a weekend or week in Rome. Bathrooms are luxurious, beds are comfortable and enough space. Our room even had a little balcony, which was great to have a relax and a sit down between the busy days of tourism and going out for food or aperitivo. Lorenzo and Sonia keep everything nice and clean daily, which makes the rooms feel fresh.
The location is wonderful. You're in the heart of the city in about a 20 min walk (or bus ride available outside your doorstep too). And within minutes you're in the heart of Trastevere, by fat my favourite location for food / drinks at night. And don't forget Trappizino for a quick snack. Many good restaurants in the area like Storti, Masto and Tonnarello. Supermarktets available in the area as well.Syed from United Kingdom (9/10)
Very clean, extremely nice staff, near to bus stand
