Hospitality: managed by friendly hosts
“There's a real appeal to this bed and breakfast that's both about location and personal touch; it's near the Vatican and Ottaviano, but it's the hospitality that stands out. I noted the above-average room sizes, which, combined with the Italian breakfast served daily, make this a solid choice, especially given its proximity to public transport.”
