The hotel has nice facilities, although somewhat fared glorie. The personnel was rigid and generally not overtly friendly or helpful, although there were a few positive exceptions. The bill for lunch was erroneously increased. This is really not a 4 star hotel.

The hotel was really only a 3 star. The room was bland and the en-suite bathroom smelled quite bad at times. Also, the view was of the generator which was noisy and smelly too. The breakfast was uninspired and the staff quite miserable. The pool was lovely which saved the stay for us. We spent too long waiting for a courtesey bus to take us into Rome and then people would push in and not everyone would get on.

Excellent hotel overall, sorry too tired right now to explain why, suffice to say we had a great time.

After a stay in middle of Paris, we wanted someplace a little secluded on our trip to Rome. This hotel stood out because it had awesome amenities was away from the noise and dirt of the city. The room is exceptionally comfortable and has a great view into a villa. We didn't use the pool, but it was always inviting us.

The restaurant and bar are nice, but ridiculously priced, and it is inevitable you'll use them because there is no easy way to get to a store to buy food. The morning buffet is nice, but make sure you get down before 10:30, or else there will be nothing left. They start to pack up promptly.

My biggest complaint with this hotel is the shuttle. On paper, it seems convenient. The shuttle comes every half an hour or hour, but it always full. And getting there early doesn't matter, because people just push their way to the front of the line, no matter who gets there first. Italians, I suppose, don't appreciate the queue, so it was frustrating every time we had to get on. You start to look at the other guests to see if they look like they are going to try to jump ahead or not. If the shuttle gets overfull, then people can sit on one another or in the aisles. In the end, I felt more like cattle going to feed than guests on vacation. There was also confusion with a driver who told us to take the wrong shuttle, making us late for our train.

if you miss the shuttle, walking back is only for the adventurous. The road is nestled in walled villa, with very small sidewalks and many blind curves. We walked back once, and I was always on the lookout for a speeding car.

But once we were in the room, it was a nice, quiet stay. So this hotel is probably better for those who don't plan to do much site-seeing and are looking for a place to relax.
