Villas in Lazio, Italy

I chose to stay here for three nights in Rome. The guesthouse's transportation is quite convenient; bus 71 is right across the street, and it seems to be a main route in Rome, reaching many major places. Bus 492 is also nearby, so with these two bus lines, you should be able to travel around Rome easily. The hotel environment was good; it was quite impressive upon check-in. However, after staying continuously, I noticed some shortcomings, making it feel more suitable for a one-night stay. On the second day, housekeeping only tidied the bed sheets; the bath towels I'd left on the floor after showering the previous day were just rehung and not replaced. I didn't realize this the first time and even picked it up to dry myself again, only to find it was dirty on the third night. Whenever I returned from sightseeing and opened the door to my room, there was always a toilet odor. The soundproofing isn't great. Many guests start packing their luggage before dawn to catch early trains, so the noise was a bit loud and affected my sleep. The guesthouse has a communal kitchen with a coffee machine and even fruit (though not very fresh). There was a bottle of drinking water on the first day, but none on the second. There's a large supermarket right next door to the guesthouse, which is super convenient for shopping. There's also a slightly smaller supermarket across the street. So convenient! The guesthouse offers luggage storage after check-out.

This hotel is simply a treasure on the journey! Hidden on the hill, sitting on the beautiful scenery, like a quiet paradise isolated from the world. The room design is super distinctive, the rich European manor style cleverly integrates the simple and elegant Oriental elements, the all-wood furniture is simple and atmospheric, the hygiene is spotless, and the living is super comfortable! The dining experience is also impeccable! In addition to exquisite ready-made pastries, breakfast can also be customized for exclusive meals, chefs make on-site, fresh and delicious; dinner can be booked in advance, the price is conscience, the price is full! The most surprising thing is that there is a group of cute cats in the yard, walking leisurely, and they will gather obediently to take out food. They are full of cuteness, and they are simply a paradise for cat lovers! I highly recommend self-driving friends to come here, and they will definitely reap an unforgettable and pleasant journey!

An older building was changed to a hotel. The entrance of the hotel is very hidden. You can't find it without looking at the google map pictures and the door can't be opened. You need someone to come. When we arrived, it was more than 7 o'clock in the evening. We waited for a group of people at the front desk of the hotel to check in. Check-in at 8 pm and pay 30 euros, more than 2 pm in the middle of the night, you need to pay 50 euros, for the itinerary is not sure, choose carefully, the elevator in ps is very old However, the location is OK, the farthest Vatican Colosseum is a bus within 30 hours, and the Spanish steps are about 10 minutes walk.

Nadia was amazing to be in contact with. The castle is an amazing historical place. High ceilings, well furnished and made us feel we were at home with the details they thought of. This is a place away from the city, hustle and bustle which is nice to get away from a busy day of sightseeing. So you would need a car. The train station is 3 mins drive, so we did park and ride which conveniently worked out. The castle also has a pool which we made use of everyday aft the hot days in Rome. All in all we are very happy with our stay and wish Castello de Luca continued success.

Location and beautiful structure. There is still works of refinement so in some cases you need to park below and walk up with bags. Sorry that the units are divided with little or no soundproof so if you have nearby nightclubs and unskilled who arrive after midnight the quiet stay can become rather tired. So it's worth sleeping near Termini 😉

Fantastic stay at Villa Aurora rooms whilst I was in Rome. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-furnished. Fully functional air conditioning (rather than those temperamental units in other places) really was a joy to come back to during the heat of a Rome summer. But so far, I've just commented on some features of the room, rather than my experience here. What will endure in my memory as I look back was the warm, classically no-nonsense Italian hospitality I had from Donatella. Throughout my time here, she made sure I was well looked after with room cleaning, bottled water, towels etc. But I most appreciate her assistance in terms of local knowledge. Local knowledge such as a good seafood restaurant , ”Trattoria del pesce” just down the road (which happens to also be in the Michelin guide); such as to not miss out on the Baths of Caracalla; and perhaps more trivially, but arguably also essential, where to do my laundry! Thank you so much for making my stay here such a pleasure Donatella, and for adding both a new Italian word and outlook to my vocabulary - ”tranquilo”.
