Beautiful street and convenient location. The room was spacious and had charm. We were lucky to have the only balcony suite. I found the shower had a bit of mold on the tiles and the carpet a bit dingy but the rest was very clean and nicely cared for.

excellent location, only a 30 minute trek (downhill) towards St Peters Square. Trevi round the corner but far enough away for tourist traffic not to be an issue. room, staff & breakfast buffet was excellent, i couldn't sing their praises high enough. Excellent shower! Maybe a little out of the way for authentic Italian eateries, but the discovery is everything right? Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, will definitely be back
