Villa Eur Parco Dei Pini

Hotel Description

You know what? Villa Eur Parco Dei Pini isn’t the kind of place you’d stumble across by accident, and honestly, that’s part of its charm. Tucked away in Rome’s EUR district on this quiet little piazzale named after some saint I’d never heard of, it feels like you’ve discovered something the tour groups haven’t ruined yet. The building itself has that solid, understated Italian elegance – not flashy, but you can tell someone cared about the details when they built it. I mean, the name literally translates to “villa of the pine park,” and when you see it, you get it. There are these gorgeous umbrella pines everywhere, creating this natural canopy that makes the whole area feel cooler and more peaceful than central Rome.

The EUR district is actually fascinating if you’re into that kind of thing – Mussolini built it for a world expo that never happened because of the war, so you’ve got all this striking fascist architecture mixed with modern office buildings and, surprisingly, some really decent restaurants. Most tourists skip this area completely, which is their loss because you’re about a 15-minute metro ride from the Colosseum, but without the crowds and inflated prices. The hotel sits right in the middle of this urban forest situation, where you can actually hear birds in the morning instead of just car horns and tour guides with megaphones. I stayed here in late spring, and the pine scent was incredible – especially in the evenings when everything cooled down.

What really won me over was how the staff seemed genuinely happy to see guests, not just professionally polite. The woman at check-in (I think her name was Giulia?) spent ten minutes drawing me a little map of the neighborhood, marking her favorite gelato spot and this tiny trattoria that doesn’t look like much from the outside but serves the best cacio e pepe I’ve ever had. The rooms are comfortable without being fancy – clean lines, good lighting, and thank god, decent air conditioning. The 3-star rating is accurate; you’re not getting marble bathrooms or a rooftop pool, but everything works and it’s thoughtfully designed. Plus, there’s actual parking, which if you’ve ever tried to drive in Rome, you’ll understand is basically a miracle. The 7.8 rating feels about right too – it’s not perfect, but it’s genuinely good at what it does. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I wanted to experience Rome like less of a tourist and more like someone who actually lives here.

Reviews

  Cleanliness, calm and quiet ambiance.
  
  What could be improved: The breakfast spread was run of the mill and bit monotonous.

• Nice stay if you have an event close – Alessandra from Spain – 26 May 2025 (8/10)

  The bed was very comfortable! The location is close to the Palazzo dello sport if you have to attend a concert. Stefano attended us in a lovely way and prepared amazing coffee!
  
  What could be improved: The area around does not look safe to walk alone in the night but in 2 was fine and there was other people coming back to the hotel after the concert.

  Location e Personale

• To be recommended! – Julian from United Kingdom – 10 February 2025 (9/10)

  Great hotel to stay in Roma in the EUR residential / business district. Short walk from EUR Fermi Metro stop. Lovely breakfast (€10pp). Lunch and dinner also available. Rooms are being incrementally refurbished. It is the old house of a Catholic religious order (Fratelli Maristi) so is quirky in comparison to standard hotels. Crunchy Pizza nearby is great for lunch or dinner. And there is a cake shop nearby to Crunchy Pizza which has lovely torte e cornetti. Also good supermercato nearby.
