“great location need own transport”
great location for travellors with own transport
“A dream hotel.....but, some conditions apply”
The hotel itself is just fantastic. The service is good, the view is magnificent, but you have to be ready either to rent the car to drive there, or to use the hotel shuttle service which is extremely inconvenient. We always waited for that shuttle at the train station for 30-45 min. I wouldn't advise to relay on it too much. They say that the walking distance from the hotel to the station is about 15 min. I didn't try, but still I don't think it is true...And even if it is true, the hotel stands on the top of the hill and surrounded by thick bushes on the steep slopes....Good luck for you if you want to try that route...Especially if you arrive at the station at around 9-10 pm. All the rest was perfect. I would definitely stay there next time if i could arrange my own transport.
“No room to move”
Whilst the hotel itself if beautifully decorated and furnished, the rooms are not. They are extremely small with one free standing wardrobe with no shelves or drawers to store clothes and barely enough space for suitcases. Likewise no shelf in the bathroom for toiletries. Room overlooked courtyard where a disco took place one night until midnight. Reception staff were pleasant at all times and very apologetic about the disturbance. Hotel website states that there is a shuttle bus service to and from the railway station, and given that it would be impossible to walk from town to the hotel I had the impression that this service was free. However I was presented with a 40 euro bill on check-out and was informed that the bus was only free on arrival and departure from station! Hotel is definitely geared towards the conference market, and guests with own transport.
“It could have been so good but too much inconsistency”
This hotel focuses on Conferences and unfocused on individual guests. Single rooms cramped with 1 wardrobe and 1 bedside table. Sloppy maintenance: 3 lightbulbs needed changing. Battery on keycard reader died and took 45 min before someone let me back into room. Water fell down wall every time cistern flushed. Room hot and stuffy, no air con, ceiling fan not enough for summer heat. First night had light supper in hotel restaurant. Halfway through waiter insisted we sign for bill although we hadn't finished. Then ordered raspberry "parfait" which we took one mouthful of and wished we hadn't, sickly sweet and synthetic. Quietly told waiter not good but he argued that all other guests liked it. He took it back but no alternative offered. Upset on departure to find we'd been charged for this ill-tasting dessert. Because we'd signed the bill in restaurant obliged to pay. Receptionist refused to give us name of the The Manager who she said doesn't come to Hotel. Left a very bad taste and ruined end of our holiday. Astonished that the Hotel seems to be running itself with an absent manager - maybe this explains the problems we encountered. Whatever you do, beware of signing the bill in the restaurant before you've finished your meal.
“Peaceful place & Awesome view!”
The Staff made me feel like home, amicable and willing to help. Great service and food, pacefull environmet and pretty instalations. Downside was the distance from the train station and few transport options. I would go back again!
“No Air Con in Rooms”
Single Room like a shoe box. Breakfast very bad. Bar closed at 11pm and no room service.
“Superb location with beautiful period furnishings. Ideal if you have your own transport.”
Beautiful villa with panoramic views. Local appointments made it an ideal base. Hidden away so not easy to find. Best to have a car which we did so didn't try the shuttle bus. Atmosphere peaceful,staff helpful, courteous + unintrusive. 4 single ensuite rooms on 5th floor were smallish but clean with comfortable beds, crisp linen, towels + toiletries + fridge with drinks + snacks. No kettle. If you want a glass box hotel it's not for you. Instead period charm + furniture in romantic environment. Superb, abundant breakfast presented beautifully,wide choice of beverages, cereals, yoghurts, juices, enormous macedonia fruit bowl,masses of croissants,breads, preserves, cheese and ham cold cuts. Sadly appointments prevented us from spending more time exploring the surroundings and relaxing in the hotel. If you want to discover the Castelli area which is a beautiful scenic area including countless fantastic restaurants, to which massive numbers of Romans flock on Sundays, hotel is a great base but not convenient for touring Rome, just a bit too far away. Internet not available in the rooms but computer for accessing emails. Would certainly return there again but probably could not afford the usual rates. I will be on the lookout for future offers and discounts though.
“Vue imprenable”
Très bel hotel, je le conseillerai à des couples pas tres exigeants qui souhaitent un hotel avec du charme pour visiter rome et ses environs. Le personnel est tres agréable. Une vue imprenable sur Rome. J'y suis resté 5 jours et j''ai payé un prix fort raisonnable ce qui justifie surement ma clémence. Voiture obligatoire.

Area:
Castelli Romani, Rome, Italy: Favoured as an out-of-town retreat for the Romans, the Castelli Romani are hilltop villages descended from fortified castles of the Middle Ages. Set on the outer rims of extinct volcanic craters of the Albani Hills, the air is refreshing and the rich, volcanic soil is ideal for vine-growing. Well-known for its crisp, white wine, Frascati is the most accessible of the Castelli Romani. Nearby is the Popes summer palace, the Castel Gandolfo.
