We loved the Casa di Serena. My family of 5 had a wonderful stay here. Room was large and all 5 beds were american-sized and comfy (great pillows). Bathrooms were spotless!!! Shower was spotless but door a little narrow -- you won't make it in if you're plus-sized. Location was good -- near the Vatican, which meant not so close to other sites but easy metro ride to major tourist areas. Our room had a washing machine in it, which we didn't use, but it looked clean and new. We had a large balcony which was nice. The location was quiet. We absolutely loved the Casa di Serena. However, some may be put off by having to pay IN CASH and in advance (although we did pay at the end of our stay). We arrived soon after the earthquake, and Serena let us use her computer to email that we were okay and she also helped us arrange cars/travel. Serena is so sweet and welcoming! Great b&b.

we will be back at the our next vacation,thanks to the staff and the room boy of this bed and breakfast.all information about in rome is explain to you.thanks again.

We loved our stay. Very comfortable bed, especially nice after a long day walking and touring. Sheets and blankets are soft along with pillows. White towels in the bathroom are nice and thick. Bathroom is spotless and have little soaps and lotions if you forget yours. It is a bit difficult to find once you get off the Metro at Cipro, but maybe my husband and I just have trouble following directions. :) It is about a 5 minute walk from the Cipro Metro. The Vatican is 10-15 minutes away and there are restaurants and shops all along the way. The cafe where you have your breakfast is just down the street, on the way to the Vatican, which is nice. There is a nice assortment of pastries, coffee, tea and juice. We sat outside every morning sipping tea and it was great. They have a hair dryer, coffee maker, hot tea supplies and small refrigerator which is nice to store bottled water for the next day. The only thing I wish we had was at least one English speaking TV station. We weren't in the room during the day, but it would've been nice to listen to CNN or some other English speaking news program while we got ready in the morning or while we got ready for bed in the evening. But hey, you're in Italy, so I didn't expect that anyway. My husband and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary with a trip to Rome and they had champagne, chocolates and gifts on a silver tray when we arrived. Such a nice touch and sweet thing to do for us. If we come back to Rome, we'd love to stay here again. You are in a very secure building and we felt very safe our entire trip. Thanks for everything!!!!

We had a wonderful experience at Serena's establishment.
Anything we needed including directions and recommendations
was cheerfully provided for us. One night a lightening strike caused the electricity to go out late at night and Serena was
there well past midnight making sure everyone was OK .
There is a Metro Station an easy walk away and the Vatican wall
is close enough to walk to. Overall, a delightful place to stay.
