Villaer i Lazio, Italien

Det er et hotel, der er ombygget fra en ret gammel bygning. Indgangen er meget skjult; man kan ikke finde den uden Google Maps, og hoveddøren er låst, indtil nogen kommer ind. Vi ankom omkring kl. 19.00 og ventede på en gruppe hotelpersonale, før vi tjekkede os ind. Indtjekning efter kl. 20.00 koster €30, og efter kl. 02.00 koster €50. Vælg dette hotel, hvis din rejseplan er usikker. PS: Elevatorerne er meget gamle. Beliggenheden er dog anstændig. Det er inden for 30 timer med bus til Vatikanet og Colosseum, og Den Spanske Trappe ligger cirka 10 minutters gang væk.

Fantastic stay at Villa Aurora rooms whilst I was in Rome. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-furnished. Fully functional air conditioning (rather than those temperamental units in other places) really was a joy to come back to during the heat of a Rome summer. But so far, I've just commented on some features of the room, rather than my experience here. What will endure in my memory as I look back was the warm, classically no-nonsense Italian hospitality I had from Donatella. Throughout my time here, she made sure I was well looked after with room cleaning, bottled water, towels etc. But I most appreciate her assistance in terms of local knowledge. Local knowledge such as a good seafood restaurant , ”Trattoria del pesce” just down the road (which happens to also be in the Michelin guide); such as to not miss out on the Baths of Caracalla; and perhaps more trivially, but arguably also essential, where to do my laundry! Thank you so much for making my stay here such a pleasure Donatella, and for adding both a new Italian word and outlook to my vocabulary - ”tranquilo”.
