This Hotel is magnificient - again it was a family run, equisitely furnished, in the centre of Rome.
The Hotel Office was directly across the street as the Hotel Owners Silvio and Rosella have just purchase a block of apartments and are in the process of refurbishing all floors as an extenstion of the Hotel De Petris. We were placed in Room 410. This room was all that you would expect of Italy and then some. A combination of exquisite style, old fashioned lift (I loved the stairs) - the feeling of just being in the heart of a city full of life, love and history - the Hotel De Petris was a breath of fresh air. The difference between staying at the "famous" hotel brands or such like was the feeling of being part of the city and people itself. This was living the "real Italy" not what you could find in a "chain store type of Hotel arrangement" - so it was my preference. We were within walking, taxi or even bus distance (should we have chosen the bus) from everything we wished to see. Again, it came down to being one of the city's people rather than a visitor.
All aspects of the Hotel's services were outstanding. Breakfast, storage for baggage when heading down to the Amalfi Coast, their patience and assistance with endless questions, or requests.
Their staff, in particular Katia Filice who went beyond her work remit, again became a friend, and whom I made sure was thanked in person - as well as talking to both Silvio and Rosella so they knew they had an exceptional staff member working for them.
The Hotel itself was full of surprises. Home to us in a way that you need when you are so far away from your own - we travelled half way around the world and found a place that we will return to.
Kindness, courtesy, cleanliness, helpfullness and patience are part and parcel of this Hotel. Well deserved to be on a a top list of Hotels.
