I picked this Hotel because of the reviews and it was close to a center of town, walkable, restaurants , fountains, shops historic sights and all the great reviews. It is privately owned and we met the owner and all the staff very nice , everyone is very helpful and friendly. We had the American breakfast at the restaurant attached to the hotel and was for a discounted fee and was excellent. Room was modern and comfortable, great shower! All in a historical building and setting. You really feel like you are in old Rome because you are. We walked to one of the many street restaurants and had a nice Italian dinner, street music and romantic Italian atmosphere all while feeling very safe. We stayed one night on the way to a cruise. All the Rome sights close by. We used the hop on hop off bus. Saw a lot of sights in 24 hours. I love the big plaza or piazza just outside the door a few steps away. Huge romantic Italian fountain and cool breeze's at night, Book it you will love it too.
