The Tolentino B&B is in a beautifully restored 200 year old mansion turned apartment/office building. With an excellent location, just off Piazza Barberini, next door to the Hotel Barberini and sheik Via Veneto, half a block from the metro and major bus stops. Short walking distance to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, other major attractions, shopping areas, many restaurants, a coin laundry/drycleaner and romantic streets and alleys to stroll at night. There’s a great little grocery store at street level.
We rented the room with the in-room bathroom, other rooms have private bathrooms but across the hall from the rooms. Our room was very spacious, plenty of closet space, a desk, TV, bathtub with water jets, two windows facing an internal courtyard and a king size bed. I would have appreciated additional pillows but this was only a minor issue, I’m accustomed to sleeping with three pillows at home. There are only 3 rooms in the Tolentino, although all the rooms were occupied it was very quiet and peaceful. Next January the B&B will be remodeled and 2 additional rooms will be added. The breakfast is ok but if you like big breakfasts you may want to walk to a nearby café.
Joey the caretaker is a very nice and helpful person, any questions that you may have he’ll have the answer. He is very knowledgeable about Rome and can help you with transportation options, restaurants & shopping suggestions, etc.
The WIFI reception in our room was weak, the reception may be stronger in the common areas but I didn’t try. I connected to a stronger unprotected WIFI access point that worked very well. However, I don’t recommend this unless you have a good in & out traffic firewall and a VPN connection, otherwise your computer and it’s contents will be at risk.
We highly recommend the Tolentino B&B, we will definitely book it again when we return to Rome.
