excellent location, only a 30 minute trek (downhill) towards St Peters Square. Trevi round the corner but far enough away for tourist traffic not to be an issue. room, staff & breakfast buffet was excellent, i couldn't sing their praises high enough. Excellent shower! Maybe a little out of the way for authentic Italian eateries, but the discovery is everything right? Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, will definitely be back

The room was absolutely spotless. The facilities were fantastic - we were in a beautiful room with views of the Borghese walls - perfect location and lovely street outside. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a lovely buffet mix - breakfast cereals, fruit, cakes and fruit tart, sandwiches, bread rolls of various types, sliced bread for toast, butter, spreads and jams, sliced meats and cheeses as well as nuts, biscuits and bruschetta - really good coffee machine and hot chocolate - fabulous choice offered.
