Submitted by Garrett Glass, Oak Park, IL 60302, United States
Excellent hotel with wonderful, secluded location and very large room. A great value for the money spent.
...
You can walk to the bus or subway (Circo Masimo) to get to the city, but this is impractical during hot weather. A taxi is somewhat expensive but the trade-off is worth it because the Aventine is very quiet, safe, and upscale.
...
Elegant and reasonably priced.

We had been in transit for 24 hours due to flight delays. The staff were wonderful and directed us to nearby restaurants and generally made our stay very special.
...
Absolutely beautiful property! It was like an oasis in busy Rome. We loved the neighborhood and ended up walking everywhere even though the bus and subway were nearby. We especially loved the view through the Order of Malta keyhole and the Orangerie Park.
...
Wonderful breakfasts
Piano music
Calm and tranquil setting
Beautiful garden
...
Villa San Pio is a hidden jewel in Rome. The setting is tranquil, elegant, and welcomming. The neighborhood is beautiful and borders two areas (Testaccio and Transtevere) that were recently highlighted in Gourmet magazine as examples of the 'real Rome'. Everything listed was in easy walking distance. Evening walks were beautiful and romantic.

The San Pio people were verypolite and helpful. We experienced this already several times before, and gave our recommandation already to friends and other people.
...
A shuttle bus accomodation from Fiomicino to the San Pio Hotel would be great!!!
...
The only thing we missed was the 'every morning piano playing' during the breakfast what we experienced on earlier stays.
...
Since we lived from 1975 to 1977 in Rome and our apartment was quite near to the San Pio Hotels on the Aventino, we recommend to all friends the quiet and villa like aerea of the hotel.Including the orange garden, and the churches Santa Prisca, San Alessio and San Anselmo

Excellent hotel and location.
...
They gave us good advice on how to most easily get to the hotel (via a limo). They made arrangements for the limo to be there at our pre-determined time... It made our transfer to the airport very easy.
...
Positive.. the staff is EXTREMELY helpful and they have a very decent resteraunt for the money. The dining area (outdoors in the summer) is very peaceful.
...
We will be giving the Hotel Villa San Pio very, very positive marks when describing it to friends. We arrived in Rome for the last four days of a 17 day European trip, so we were tired. The Hotel Villa San Pio revived us with it's beautiful setting/great staff/very nice rooms. I would call it an oasis of quiet/serenity/beauty within a noisier big city. It's location is great, a easy 10 minute walk to the subway. The room we had (a quad for my family of four) was spacious, clean and very tastefully decorated. When we were in Rome, the temperature was approx. 95 degrees Fahrenheit..Hot for us! The room air conditioning was powerful and kept the room very comfortable even with the warm temperatures. Lot's of hot water! The hotel staff was extremely helpful. We ate at the resteraunt twice and found it to be a great value for the price in a beautiful, peaceful setting.

For a '3-Star' hotel, the San Pio was extremely nice...I would say it rates 4-stars!

Very relaxing and away from the tourism craziness that surrounds Rome. Very clean and elegant rooms. Great staff!

Everything about Villa San Pio was exactly as depicted on Worldby.com and actually the property far exceeded our expectations. Everyone in our 8 member party was extremely impressed - a great find! For Americans, the Italian TV, air conditioning, and shower operate in an odd way, so anyone staying here may want to have the bellboy demonstrate them. Sounds stupid, but they are not intuitive...
...
Villa San Pio is definately a hidden gem in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood in the Aventino area. It is close to the ancient Rome section of the city (within walking distance. The on-site restaurant is terrific. There are a couple other restaurants in the neighborhood, but many are just a short cab ride away.
...
One thing we have noticed about Italian hotels is that they will charge you 3 euros just for opening the mini-bar or moving an item in it (which we did to put in some fruit). But that was really no big deal to us as we have noticed it is a common practice and we are using their electricity after all, which is expensive in Italy.
...
Unless you absolutely have to be near the Via Veneto and Spanish steps or the Vatican, this is the hotel for you. The Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Coliseum, and Forum are all in walking distance. Villa San Pio feels like a 4 star experience at a really resonable price. The Aventino area is leafy and quiet. Room 503 has a stunning terrace - it's a little bit pricier but worth it.

I assumed the euro to dollar conversion was correct and based my budget and decision to stay there on this...It was a bit higher than expected but well worth it.
...
You should state that the Aventino neighborhood is a clean, quiet, lovely, residential type neighborhood, and that every inch of it smells like orange blossoms!
...
Beautiful! The hotel was gorgeous, especially the breakfast area in the garden! The bathroom was the best of our trip! Loved the neighborhood! It was perfectly convenient to the Colloseum and Forum!

The property was very nice and clean with well appointed rooms, beautiful garden and an excellent buffet breakfast. The only issue is it is a fair distance to walk (15 minutes plus) to the nearest subway station. Since the property is located on top of an incline it is an effort, especially after long day visiting the various attractions, to walk back to the hotel. Also the streets are very secluded at night although we have not experienced an security problems, taking a taxi home is recommended.
...
Nice, quiet hotel in a residential neighbourhood. A bit out of the way from the main attractions and must rely on public transit or taxi to get to the attractions and shopping areas.

The hotel needs to have FREE internet access. Of all the hotels we stayed at in Italy, this is the only one without free access.

It is a 5 star hotel with a three star rating. The rooms are exquisite, the breakfast buffet is very good but the service in the restaurant is pretty bad.

A beautiful lush green outdoor setting to have breakfast. Very nice. Rooms and bath are comfortable and clean. Easy cab access to downtown Rome. We walked to the Colloseum. Yet hotel is quiet and private with lush landscaping. We plan on staying here again when we return to Rome!

hotel has its own restaurant and there
are excellent eating places nearby.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who
does not mind using public
transportation. It is in a very nice area
and very quiet. Probably not a place for
young people due to fairly high price and
lack of night spots nearby.

What a wonderful hotel. Situated in a quiet residential area of Rome, but not too far from all the main attractions. This hotel offers a calm oasis from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are decorated to a high degree - we had a jacuzzi bath in our room! The staff were friendly and helpful. And the garden and restaurant were divine. Would recommend 110% if quality and comfort are what you are looking for in a hotel.

Very efficient and friendly.

No amount of pictures or descriptive text can do this hotel justice - you just have to experience!

See comments above - would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone - would definately stay again when in Rome.

We had a large room for 4 with a terrace overlooking the Aventine Hill. The room was large and beautifully decorated, bathroom was very nice with marble fixtures and the private terrace overlooking the peaceful tree and flower lined streets was a wonderful respite after the noise and traffic and heat of the tourist areas. Also, breakfast was great, with a huge selection of fruits, breads, cereals, yogurt, cheeses and meats and the courtyard dining area is lush with greenery and flowers, The Villa San Pio was a wonderful start to our month in Europe and we will definitely try to book it again on our next trip.
...
No problems - staff was helpful in finding a large taxi to accommodate 4 people with lots of luggage.
...
Beautifully laid out breakfast in a garden courtyard which is included in room price. Rooms on upper floors with terraces are recommended as they add extra living space, especially if an entire family if traveling. The view overlooking beautiful old homes in Aventine Hill and the scent of jasmine from all the gardens made this a favorite place to sit and read, have a glass of wine, etc.
...
Hotel Villa San Pio was a garden oasis in the midst of all the noise and hubbub of Rome. We loved it and loved Rome and hope to return and spend more time there!

The check-in process was very fast. The hotel had all the information in order for our reservation (2 rooms).

The hotel staff was extremely polite and helpful (restaurant, front desk, housekeeping). The front desk staff even loaned us a converter since ours wasn't working. I would definitely stay at Hotel Villa San Pio again. I would also highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Rome. The neighborhood is residential, very quiet, and ideally located in the ancient part of the city.
Grazie mile!

Since we had an early flight the next morning, the front desk staff had everything ready for us upon check out. They were great (and fast)!

We found the hotel wonderful. They were even so thoughtful as to remember Judith's birthday with a gift of prosecco. I mean I shouldn't complain at all, because the breakfasts were exquisite, but there was no fruit juice (there was some kind of fruit drink) and that might bother some NOrth American guests.
...
Proximity to good food. Ease of autobus connections to the Vatican and to the center of town.
...
At the San Pio you feel as if you were away from the city and yet a short walk down the hill gets you to everything you need. The breakfast experience in the garden starts off the day beautifully. We had a room with a terrace of our own, with lemon trees, for the bargain price, it seemed to us, of 140 Euro per night. We had the misfortune of staying later in the summer at an internationally known hotel in Frankfurt, Germany, where the price was nearly 500 Euros per night, and I can assure you that the San Pio is ten times better a hotel. Thought it is in a quiet area, the San Pio is only a 10 to 15 Euro taxi-ride from the train station. Wew got great directions from the front desk staff on how to use public transportation. In a cooler season, much of what we wanted to see would be walkable from the hotel. In short, we thought the hotel, though it is small, grand, much grander than so called Grand hotels.

Although I organised the trip I was unable, through illness to be there myself. These comments reflect the feedback I have had from those who did make it. They were unanimous in their praise for the hotel and its staff and particularly impressed with having a waiter service breakfast before a very early eparture. We will be returning to Rome in 2009 and will definitely use the San Pio again. Thank you.

This hotel is in a lovely quiet neighborhood but has a convenient subway stop within walking distance. The staff was cheerful & friendly, the grounds were beautiful and the breakfast was wonderful. We ate outside on the terrace and Saturday morning there was even live music. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Rome.
...
Possibly clarify information on how to arrange for shuttle transportation from the airport. This was not clear to me from the website. Before leaving the U.S., I called the hotel to verify my reservation and asked about the shuttle. They told me to go to the Hotel Reservations Counter at the airport and arrange the shuttle there. Once off the plane this was very simple to find the counter and arrange a shuttle.

If we are lucky enough ever to come back to Rome, we will definitely stay at Villa San Pio. Also, we are recommending the hotel to all our relatives, friends and acquaintances, in Europe as well as the US.
We are especially grateful for the friendly and competent help provided by Rita at the desk. We will also remember the attentiveness of Marilyn in the restaurant.
The only three negatives, none of them dramatic, were (1) the defective old shower head in the bathtub (although there was also a handheld shower arm); (2) the somewhat lackadaisical housekeeping on a few weekdays, leaving big 'dustbunnies' in corners, and forgetting supplies: now soap, then toilet paper, or facial tissues; and (3) --more irksome because it prevented us from maintaining planned contacts with our kids-- the poor condition, inadequate performance, and limited functions of the Internet connection. The latter shortcoming was the only major disappointment, and a point in which Villa San Pio fell short of the advertised 'free internet connection in every room'!
One small but practical request: perhaps the desk should inform new (and naive American) guests that one does not hail a cab in Rome, and direct them to the nearest cab stand unless, of course, they do not mind paying the extra charge for a radio cab.
...
If an internet connection is promised, it should be more adequate (unless the one in our room was an exception). See my remark above.
...
As the perfect combination of a haven with a base of operations. The hotel offers the right amount of comfort without luxury. It is located in a sedate and leafy neighborhood, deceptively close not only to all the stunning tourist sites but also to the vibrant everyday life of Rome.

easy to navigate and of a high standard

was not aware of one

to discover which acomodation would be of my standard and suitability to me, they sugessted the villa san pio and i did love it
...
the man that helped us to our room was excellent, friendly and spoke extremely good english. he definately made us feel welcome. i asked for a room with a balcony and jacuzzi, we got a room with a huge terrace, which was fantastic, but the jacuzzi bath was just the make of the bath, not a bath with 'bubbles'. but the terrace more than made up for the confusion.
the air conditioning in the room was not fantasitc however, it was more like a fan, i felt this should be improved, especially for summer months, it was just bearable during our stay.
...
we were not aware that additional costs were made for tea/coffee at breakfast
...
the man that checked us out was slightly rude when i ordered us a taxi, i hadnt met him before during our stay but i felt he spoke to me like i was thick.

just that a jacuzzi bath should be explained as to what it is and also that tea and coffee require additional costs

We arrived at 7:00 a.m. in the rain. Someone greeted us at our taxi with an umbrella and brought in our bags. The hotel had our room ready for us, even that early in the day.

The hotel was by far the best property we stayed at during our trip. I would recommend the Villa San Pio to friends, and would certainly stay there again.

They held our bags for us for about 8 hours, while we waited for our night train. Very simple, and always polite.

Villa San Pio is a quaint and charming hotel in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood. The rooms are very well decorated and ours even had a private balcony.

Very accommodating staff, well maintained buildings and gardens, delicious breakfast buffet in a lovely glass gazebo!

We arrived early, about 9:30 AM, but our
room was ready by 10:00. We had breakfast
that morning then got our room. We found the
hotel very nice, our room had a balcony
which we did not expect. Nice location,
quiet in a residential area.
...
The staff was helpful in providing
directions, pointers to restaurants, all
spoke English and were very accomodating. As
far as spacious rooms, they are never as
spacious as we would like or expect, but it
worked just fine, especially with a large
outside deck available.
...
Ordered a cab for us and it was there in ten
minutes.
...
Not sure if it is there or not, but the fact
that it is in a quiet residential area is a
big plus.
...
This hotel is a quiet gem near the heart of
Rome. Located in a residential area, amid
large trees and stately Villas, you can find
this a nice refuge from the hectic pace of
Rome. It is a ten minute walk to the
Piramid metro station and similar time to a
number of local restaurants. The hotel has
a spacious lobby for reading or chatting, a
indoor/outdoor area for eating breakfast,
and comfortable air conditioned rooms. If
you are lucky or ask ahead, you can get one
with a spacious outdoor deck with table and
chairs that let you look out at the tops of
the huge, old trees that cover the
neighborhood as you enjoy a drink from the
mini bar.

The only thing that was slightly off was that there was a miscommunication regarding the hotel sending a driver for us. However, I can understand how this happened, and it was easy from the airport to get another driver for about the same price that the hotel would have charged.
...
The internet services that are listed (perhaps not by you, but in other reviews about this hotel) really aren't usable. It is too slow to connect to any e-mail with any degree of efficiency, and I'm not even certain that anything we sent was received. Small, unimportant inconvenience for us, but if someone was counting on it, they would be disappointed.
...
Regarding internet services: as stated above. Also, they have a fine restaurant there, which was wonderful (especially after a busy day), and I can't remember if there was much about it on your website beyond the complimentary (and terrific) breakfast bar. Also, I might not recommend this to someone who wants to be more in the middle of the action, or wants to avoid using public transportation. We were fine with using the metro, which was w/in walking distance for us, but it might not be for some.
...
Unlike many hotels in Rome, this one was located in more of a quiet, residential area, and was very quaint and lovely. It was a great place to return to after a busy day out. It was easy to get to the Coliseum area, and we didn't mind using the metro, which was also within walking distance (but might not be for someone who is elderly or very, very out of shape). The staff and accommodations suited us perfectly, and although it was not inexpensive, it was a great value compared to many other nice hotels in Rome.

The gentleman behind the desk was very helpful. Neither my wife nor I speak a word of Italian. The receptionist's English was perfect. He allowed us to store our bags. We had flown overnight from the U.S., arrived at the hotel at about 9:00am Rome time and wished to take a walk. When we returned, our bags were already in our room.

The hotel was clean, quiet and within walking distance of most of Rome's sights. The gardens were very pretty. The breakfast included in the price of the room was adequate.

Two nights we required a reservations and a cab to go to dinner in other parts of Rome. The staff graciously called for our reservations. Further, when the cabs were called by staff, we received a 'ticket' with the cab number and the estimated time of their arrival. The system was very efficient.

Excellent in all respects. My only advice to the hotel management would be to change the mattresses, they are too hard. Otherwise, it is absolutely the best three star hotel I've ever stayed in, and its location is perfect. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in a boutique hotel in Rome. Winter discounted rate of EUR 140/night is great, but at higher rates it might lose some of its 'value for the money'

Villa San Pio is a reasonably priced beautiful, Roman Villa where you can stay in peaceful comfort, with excellent service and visit Rome both by car and on foot.

When we arrived there was a discussion between the two receptionists about whoich room we were to have, with the lady suggesting we should have the smaller room, and the very kind gentleman, questioning this, all in Italian. Which we could understand. We were shown to a nice room but it was smaller than we expected and without a bath. We did not ask for a different room at the time as it was late on saturady evening and we were tired and wanted to eat. The next day after a days sightseeing, we asked about the room, and the following day were moved to a larger room. The receptionist (male) seemed surprised that we did not ask sooner, and was very happy that we had asked to be moved to a larger room. In hindsight we should have mentioned this earlier, as even one of the maids said that our new room was better than the old one. We got the feeling that most of the staff thought we had been dealt with wrongly.
...
If I were coming to Rome again I would return to the Hotel San Pio, and I would reccommend it to others.

Apart from the problem with the rooms, it is a lovely hotel with very helpful and friendly staff.

While the staff are generally polite (we have stayed in two other hotels owned in the same group), it would be nice if they said something like 'you are welcome to the Villa San Pio - enjoy your stay'. The reception staff are very efficient but can sometimes seem a bit cold in their manner. Perhaps it is just because they are very busy. The staff do always make any effort to ensure that guests are not kept waiting long to be attended to. Concerning staff, I would like to mention one member of the general staff who was always extremely polite, helpful and cheerful. He seems to serve as porter, barman and many other things as well. Unfortunately, I don't know his name but he shone above all the others.
...
Our room was a bit on the small side.The wardrobe was very small and there was only one small drawer in the room. We were staying one week there and were away for a total of two weeks so we did not have enough space to hang or store many of our clothes.
On the plus side we did have a large terrace off the room.
...
None -it was very quick and efficient.
...
I am not sure if your website mentions that some rooms have a terrace but perhaps that should be stated. The one small problem with the hotel is that it is in quite a hilly location and not particularly close to public transport. This was not a problem for us as we walk practically everywhere but I would not, for instance, bring my parents there as they would find walking to the hotel from the underground or bus too difficult. Taxis in Rome are expensive - particularly as it is almost impossible to tell legal from illegal taxis.
...
I would say that the San Pio is a charming hotel in a lovely location that is just off the centre of Rome but still walking distance to many of the sights. I think 'charming' is the most appropriate word to describe the hotel. Personally, I would not stay in any other location and I visit Rome at least once a year.

The room was comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and the grounds were beautiful. We noted that the television in the room did not work, but we did not care and did not pursue getting it fixed so we don't know if all of the stations offered worked. This was a very pretty, relaxing place to stay.
...
The bath and Jacuzzi tub were a very nice feature. Our room was a quad and the two beds used by our children were rollaway, temporary beds placed in the room rather than permanent beds in the room. Those beds are shorter and I thought that was a bit cheap given the price for a quad.
...
The hotel, grounds and eating area are beautifully planted in a quiet, tasteful garden. The rooms are adequate, but not especially large for a quad. We could have used more luggage space, but the room was certainly comfortable and the staff were very nice to us. I would certainly stay there again. We enjoyed relaxing and reading at the many outside tables. We did not try the dining room for dinner.

The hotel restaurant is not open on Saturday or Sunday nights. Many guests arrive or depart on the weekend & might like at least one meal at the hotel before striking out into Rome. The one meal we had at the hotel restaurant was only adequate in quality and was overpriced.
The hotel desk distributed a map to a few area restaurants. The map was inaccurate as to some of the locations (sometimes by several blocks) and at least one of the restaurants no longer exists.

Very nice European-style hotel, nicely decorated, with beautifully landscaped gardens and outdoor terrace. Very quiet area about a 7-10 minute walk from the closest restaurants & shops. Some buildings have very good air conditioning, in others it is completely inadequate. Be sure to request a room with good A/C if staying during June - August. Limited restaurant hours. Be sure to request a room with an enclosed shower (some are tub-only with a hand-held shower, but no shower curtain or enclosure).
If driving to the hotel, try to get detailed directions from the airport and a good map.

We attempted to book a taxi on departure, but were told we could only book one 10 mins before we needed one.This we did but unfortunately some very rude americans took our taxi, despite being advised that it was ours.As a consequence of this we had to take a taxi all the way to the airport, because by the time the next taxi arrived it was too late to get the train.

This is a wonderful location and we would go back. The Hotel is very well run and we did enjoy our stay.
This Hotel could very easily become a 4 or 5 star rating if the owner would make some very basic changes.
I would suggest to the owner that he invest in and do the folowing:
1.- The beds are 3rd rate and very hard. The pillows are like rocks.
2.- The furniture looks cheap.
3.- The bed spreads are dark rough and dreary. Even look dirty.
4.- A good Engilsh Breakfast.
I think with so much invested in excellent facilities this improvement would go straight to his profits.
Tis is not meant to be critical but helpful.

Exactly what the ratings say. A superior
3 star Hotel that with some minor improvements could easily be a 4 or 5 Star potential.

I got the balcony I had asked for, but a small and dark room. SInce this was our honeymoon (and the hotel knew it) I had expected much better. But I asked to change room, and I got to see three others, where the last one was much better. We had to wait a couple of hours for that one, but was much happier there. We got married the following day after we arrived, and would have appreciated something extra from the hotel, like flowers in the room, but that is maybe too much too ask?
...
Maybe they could make some more effort when people celebrate special occasions at their hotel.
And they should not run out of bread at 9 o'clock in the morning!

Beautiful outdoor area, and some of the rooms are wonderful. Perfect location if you want peace and quiet.

The staff was very friendly. They let us leave our bags behind their desk as our room was yet to be cleaned, so that we could go out. However, they told us it would only take a half hour, so we decided to wait in the lobby before going out. We waited for an hour, and finally I asked about our room again. The receptionist had to check, but our room was ready. I do wish that they had let us know when it was clean.
...
The property was represented fairly well on the website, but there were some things about the room that were disappointing. Some things looked pretty shabby. There was a wooden table in our room that had split. It was very obviously repaired with wood glue. The 'king' bed was in fact two twins pushed together. My husband and I had just as well been sleeping in separate beds because it was so uncomfortable to lay across the gap. The paint on the walls was cracked and peeling in some places. The tiny tv had no international channels.
...
Our check out was very smooth. The receptionist arranged for a cab to take us to the airport.
We felt the the property was a nice place to stay, but definitely not worth the price we paid.
...
We thought that the hotel was nice. The women who work the reception desk during the day were very friendly and helpful. The guy who works at night was not nearly as friendly. The jacuzzi tub and terrace that our room had were very nice. However, we were really disappointed with the bed. Instead of being a king size bed, it was two twins pushed together. I was there on my honeymoon, and couldn't even cuddle with my new husband because it was so uncomfortable to lay across the gap. The tv was very tiny, and there were no international channels. The room we stayed in seemed a bit shabby. I might have thought it was 'charming' if we hadn't paid so much money to stay there. We paid over $550 for 2 nights. As this was my first time to stay in Rome, I don't know what a typical hotel costs, but I do know that would get us a pretty nice room in the States. We weren't opposed to spending the money, but we were expecting a little more than what we got. I would not stay there again for the same price. If the price were cut in half, I would consider it.

two really great things: our room had windows on 2 sides so the ventilation was excellent, and we received a very good restaurant recommendation that met our specific requests (within walking distance, in the market district, informal, not touristy): the desk clerk paid close attention to our requests. one more really nice thing: they let me use the office internet. I would definitely rcommend this hotel, esp. to someone who already knows the city and is looking for an unusually nice place to stay.
...
Better than routine breakfast buffet.
...
I would emphasize the S. Pio's distinguished location (the Aventino being a quiet, leafy, villa district at some remove from the bustle of the old center.) It will convert those who think they don't like Rome because they believe it it to be hectic, treeless, and awash with riff-raff. The S. Pio is the opposite.

Great hotel. Good location. Attentive staff. Good breakfast but stay away from eating dinner here. The food was so so and the service at dinner was terrible. The worst meal we had in Rome. They were overwhelmed and clearly understaffed at dinner.
...
The surrounding neighborhood, once you leave the immediate hilltop neighborhood where the hotel is located, seems a little dicey and off the beaten path. I would have liked to have known that beforehand. Graffitti on buildings and second rate restaurants. Once you realize this, its fine. You can hop a bus or take a taxi to more fashionable parts of town.

The furnishings, the breakfasts al fresco and mood of the hotel are reminiscent of another age. It was all very lush and restful.
As stated by others, it was quite a walk away from the main historical center, but
a nice walk nonetheless. We so much enjoyed
the Aventino area. The two restaurants recommended by the hotel on a list were
excellent. I would also highly recommend the hotel's own restaurant. We had a first-class dinner there. And the evening entertainment was a nice touch.
...
While the jacuzzi is a nice feature, someone
in the room above ours decided to use it at
2:30 am. I am a very light sleeper and was awoken by what sounded like a washing machine above my head. The only negative in
an otherwise excellent stay.
...
I would definitely both recommend it to my friends and return there myself someday.

Distance was not a big issue. We did a LOT of walking and had to use a cab once or twice a day. However, the tradeoff was well worth it.

Thank you for your request. We were totaly satisfied with our stay at San Pio. : friendly recommendation to restaurants nearby and so on.
There was only one point, when we left: We ordered a taxi five minutes to seven in the morning. The receptionist told us only to take the taxi named 'Bali'. That txai arrived ten mintes after seven o clock, took us to the station and asked for 18 Euro for a five minutes trip. He was very unpolite and claimed for the night-tarif mentioning that we ordered the taxi before seven o clock. The hotel should know this. Perhaps they work together with this taxi-service.

We absolutely loved this hotel! The staff was wonderful. The room, the hotel and the property were absolutely beautiful, quiet, and cool - loved the airconditioning! The breakfasts were served in an elegant garden restaurant which was all charm and friendliness. The mood was set by a woman playing soft music on a grand piano, the food was beautiful and the cappucinos and hot chocolates, delicious. We enjoyed three memorable dinners in the restaurant as well, where again, we dined in the garden where candelaberas are lit at dusk. The food was wonderful, the staff extremely attentive and we received complementary antipasta every night. Their treatment of children is superb. The Jacuzzi bath was a Godsend after all the walking during the day. We would go back without question. Fantastic value for the money. (the mattresses could be softer - all over Italy!)

The airconditioning was already going in our room when we arrived. The room was large and so very pretty!!!! We really appreciated the availability of a room that had two additional beds for the children (hard to find) in Italy!

(No Vespas to disturb your rest.) It is also close to some of the hippest areas for dining (Testaccio and Trastavere). The free in-room internet access was a nice perk, as was the lovely terrace and jacuzzi tub. The breakfast was wonderful (a wide variety of delicious options) and the locale was just lovely. If I were going to visit Rome again, I wouldn't even look elsewhere - I would stay at Villa San Pion again.

There was a plumbing leak from the floor above. We were offered different rooms and given a discount for the night, which made all of the switching around a little easier to 'swallow'. Everyone was incredibly helpful...especially Agar (not sure of the spelling).

I was very satisfied with the amount of information and booking through Romeby.com worked very well.
If I were to make a suggestion a better map and directions to the hotel would have come in handy. It was a little difficult to find because there are 2 hotels on the same block and both are managed by the same company.
...
I used other sites presumably managed by you, namely Veniceby and Tuscanyby and was equally satisfied. The only time I did not use the 'by.com' sites was for Parisby.com We used another site because we liked another hotel which in the end did not result as good. So in the future, I will continue to use your sites. Please expand them to other cities

I did it via email.

I guess I overlooked it. I did not see it.

The hotel is in an excellent location, quiet and very comfortable but within very easy access of the centre of Rome. The rooms are superbly appointed, staff are very professional and polite, they all speak English and are very helpful. We only ate breakfast during our short stay but the food was excellent. It is not the cheapest hotel in Rome but is probably the best value.

The Aventino environment is unique, and very nice. It could be underlined that the hotel is very much part of that environment, and makes the stay feel like being very private. The Testacchio Market and the park at St. Sabina should be advertised better. The walking distance to Centro Storico, Colloseum and Palatine Hill is a big asset.
...
! My parents lived at Piazza Giunone Regina for 4 years and i have tried other hotels at Aventino after they left, but Viklla san Pio is the one where I got closest to the experience of being an Aventino inhabitant again.You wake up hearing the birds sing, it is quiet and private, and the garden is nice. When you hear the dogs bark at dusk, the churchbells ring and the car alarms go off, you know that you are at Aventino!

My arrival at the hotel was great but was marred by being ripped off by a taxi Scam - from the Terravision coach stop to the hotel. The cab driver swapped a 50 euro note for a 10 - I did not realise until later. This has nothing to do with the hotel as I picked the cab up at the rank but you may pass the information on to other customers.

Lovely setting, restful and quiet, which can be important in the hustle of Rome. Feels somewhat isolated as a result, however. Not close to public transportation, but not difficult to reach either. Staff passively helpful; little assistance offered, but given when asked for. Single, small elevator creates bottleneck at busy times, so if stairs are a concern, be sure to ask for a room on a lower floor.

We had been confirmed with a room with a jacuzzi and on checking in we were advised we had the best room in the hotel so we didnot complain even though the room was small and had no storage for clothes for a six day stay and no jacuzzi. We found out towards the end of our stay indeed they did have rooms similar to what they promised us. We believe they operate on the principle that if no one complains give them the smallest room and hope they will take it. Through the rest of our one month stay in Italy we were provided on every occasion with exactly what the provider agreed to. Except for that feeling of being taken advantage of, we had a good stay in Rome.

we arrived early in the day and were given a room in which the shower door did not close at all. It actually feel on my wife. When I caled the front desk they said the repair person had a death in the family and could not com to fix it. We wer told to take a shower and use towels to mop up the water that sprayed into the room. They said the maid should have notified them about the problem, but they were full and could not give us a different room. The next day I found out from a worker in the hotel that the shower has been in that condition fro months, waiting on new doors. There were many rooms available when we arrived, and they put us in there on purpose without telling us about the problem. They cut our rate by 20 eu, but we paid far to much for that room.

Villa San Pio is a charming villa hotel. Flowers blooming (in March!) and the birds singing each morning provide a serene beginning to each day in busy Rome. A bit out of the way from central Rome, expect to take taxis (located at a convenient taxi stand a few blocks away.) Villa San Pio is a good location if you want to see the Colosseum and Forum, although it is a bit far to walk to those sites from the hotel.

We cannot forget the porter's smile and gentle regards to our children.

The bathroom was clean enough but there were some rusts and stains around the bathtub and the controlls of Jacuzzi functioned awkwardly. And above all the stopper of the bathtub was broken and we had to work hard to drain the water.
...
There is an internet facility in the room, but it is not easy to connect 'your' computer to the net.
Taxi would be the best way to go anywhere and come back to the hotel.

A three star hotel that deserves four stars.

The room was very good in terms of being clean, spacious and private, but I did have a problem at night with the noise of the air conditioning/heating system. I turned it off in my roomm, but believe the loud sound of the fan or motor came from the room above.

As an elegant hotel with inner courtyards and gardens in a peaceful and attractive residential area of Rome. This is important in a city which is so popular, busy and noisy. Although more expensive than the majority, it is worth the extra cost. I have been told by friends who visit Rome frequently that many hotels, though not cheap, do not have particularly high standards.

Really nice hotel with beautiful surroundings. Very good breakfast and a nice suprice with drinks and live pianomusic.
The only less posotive experience was that the hotell did not have doubble sheets. For my and my kids comfort is this important.
...
A beatiful area of Rome. Very nice garden with trees ang flowers, even better during the spring och the summer periods.
I really enjoyd my staying there and even my children (a 19 years old boy and a 24 years old female) liked the hotell as well.

We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay there again. The staff were very helpful and the location is beautiful.
The only negative points we found were the very poor soundproofing (we could hear everything from the next room), too little storage (drawer and cupboard space), lack of coathooks, and my wife found the bed too hard.
...
In one of the best locations in Rome, out of the way and quiet, but within walking distance of restaurants and a short taxi ride from the centre.
Very nice hotel with excellent staff, one or two grumpy waiters in the breakfast room, but apart from that the staff went out of their way to be helpful.

Doorman was most helpful and friendly. Although we had asked for non-smoking room and were told that they didn't have any, we were pleasantly surprised by fresh smelling rooms. We reserved 2 rooms - one was very large and one was not (not sure why) although we paid same rate for both. Overall, the staff was very polite and spoke English and we would definitely recommend this place (though all the cab drivers had a little difficulty in finding it).
...
Since it is in a residential area, most cab drivers were not familiar with it. Just give the clearest directions you can - that would be helpful. It was a great place.
...
Nice place but everything too high in Italy!
...
Nice, AC (unlike some places we stayed), clean, polite staff, quiet, stenciling on walls, ceilings, furniture, etc. Also provided computer monitors in rooms, though they were difficult to use.

The evening prior to check out I asked about transport to the airport at the hotel's desk. I was told twice that the cost of a car was E 50.00 by two different male attendants at the desk. The following morning I asked again, and the young-lady attendant told me that it was E40.00. That was the price that the driver himself quoted to me. I gave him E45.00.
I think your web site should encourage people to use the car service. On the way to the hotel we took the train from the airport to Rome and then a taxi to the hotel.
That proceedure probably took twice as long as the private car did and cost almost as much. Also, it is said that during rain it is impossible to obtain a cab in Rome. Fortuantely, it was not raining during our arrival. Our driver was careful, courteous, and helpful; and on another visit I would take a car both ways. Also, I would definitely stay at the San Pio again.
...
The desk has a list of recommended restaurants in the immediate area, two of which we used. The were both excellent.

Lovely, quiet neighborhood.
Some of the staff was pleasant, while some was curt or basically tried to ignore the visitors.
The rooms were clean and attractive. The maid service was excellent. The dinner we ate at the hotel restaurant was of average quality and high price.

The hotel staff seemed extremely harried...they were all doing multiple tasks at once. They improved, but our initial impression was very negative.
...
The airconditioning was malfunctioning upon our arrival. It took 2 hours and several calls and visits to the front desk to convince the staff that there was a problem. Once that was accomplished, the hotel engineer was able to remedy the problem. There were no drapes in the room until the second day, and the crew putting them in left the doors to the (2nd floor) terrace unlocked and ajar...a security concern for us when we returned late that afternoon. The room was much smaller than expected, but was quiet and adequately furnished. The terrace was delightful (and larger than the room!)
...
We arranged to settle our bill the night before departure and were glad we did--again, the front desk seemed a bit overwhelmed the next morning.
...
The location was a definite plus for us...we welcommed the quiet and calm each afternoon. The staff was most helpful re: taxi cabs...they have a very efficient 'radio' taxi system and we never waited more than 3-4 minutes for a taxi. It is not, however, a reasonable walk to most of Rome's sights, in our opinion.
...
As above, a reasonable value for the price, very quiet, but plan to factor in the to and from taxi fares each day.

I was given a tiny room with a shower that one could barely turn around in. The management of the hotel did adjust the rate, however.

Looking back on it, even thought I did get the room for less that originally stated, it was simply too small. Also it was located near the main entrance hall for the wing of the hotel in which it was located so that made it sometimes noisy.

We were disappointed in our room during the first leg of our visit. The bathroom facilities were in need of an upgrade, and the bedroom walls and furnishings were very worn.
We had a very nice room on the last night of our stay, however. I regret that I did not ask for a room change earlier in our visit.
...
While the directions were adequate, the more detail you can provide the better. The hotel in tucked away in a neighborhood setting and we found that any number of taxi drivers had some difficulty finding the hotel.
...
I would recommend it as a very nice hotel, but one in which you should be very selective about room assignment. The desk staff was minimally helpful. Some of the restaurant staff who work the breakfast shift were not responsive, but our wait staff at dinner were very good. Dinners are good but fairly pricey.

The two people behind the desk who greeted us when we arrived weren't particularly warm, compared to all of the people who greeted us at the 3 other places that we stayed on this trip to Italy.
...
My wife and I got a fabulous room but we both felt that the room furnishings were more than a little worn. Furniture was old and walls were in need of repainting.
There also was a chair missing. There was a space for it and no place to sit (or put things down on) other than the bed and a desk chair.
The staff we asked about dinner reservations seemed incapable about recommending specific restaurants.
And the 'Rome By Night' bus tour that we took was a complete waste of money. The guide spoke in 4 languages--there should've been an english-only tour. And at that ridiculous cost for the 5 of us, your front desk person should've recommended a private car.

The information given to me regarding the Internet access was very confusing. At first, I was told that the 'old system' had been taken out (ie. the Web TV) so there was NO Internet in the room, ONLY computers in the lobbies of each of the buildings and the various rates for the different periods of time. This didn't help me as I need to use my laptop to access my workplace network in Canada. So, then I tried to get wireless access, which was only available in the main lobby. Finally, after several questions to the hotel staff at the desk did I FINALLY find out that there WAS Internet access in the room and all I had to do was plug in my computer and pay the fee for whatever time period I wanted. It took me about two days to finally get an answer -- the staff kept telling me about the rates when what I really wanted to know was where to plug in my computer to get Internet access. It was very, very frustrating. The website says there's internet access in the rooms, but there's no one at the desk who can help and answer simple questions. (Actually, I got the WRONG answer to begin with).
...
It's a nice residential area, but that means you have to walk a fair distance to find a good restaurant.
Considering it's so close to the FAO, and I'm sure many of the clientele of the hotel have business there, I find it odd that there's no business centre (e.g., a room with a printer, copier, fax machine, etc.). I've asked the staff to make copies, etc in the past, but it's hard to get multiple copies made of things. And if they're busy, you have to wait.
...
It's nice, but it's not very well organized for business travel.

The property was very nice and the room we were in had a terrace and was a larger room so that was nice. But, there was a bad odour in the room that seemed like a plumbing smell and the wardrobe had dirty towels in one drawer and an old sweater thrown on top which put us off. It was also very noisy when other guests were in the hallway coming and going from their rooms.
