Domus Mazzini is a complete delight from the warm welcome to the last goodbye. It is set in a very pleasant local neighbouhood, within easy walking distance of the Vatican and a metro link to everywhere else. The restuarant across the street is to be highly recommended - great pasta and superb service from Laura (a young Fenella Fielding lookalike for 'Carry on Sceaming' fans).

Back at the B&B, the quality of the decor is chic and smart yet warmly Italian. Ciro is a very friendly host with superb English and good local knowledge. We really enjoyed the 'family' style breakfast,which featured delicious bread, a great cup of tea and the chance to chat with other guests. When we stayed we were treated to a special Easter Sunday feast of cheesy bread, traditional cake, spicy salami and Easter eggs (soft-boiled and chocolate!). Immaculately clean with excellent maid service we couldn't beleive what good value for money Domus Mazzini is and a brilliant base to see Rome from - highly recommended.
