Upon arriving at the hotel, the room presented a mixed experience with a broken jacuzzi tub and lack of balcony. While the initial cleanliness left much to be desired with hair in the bath, the beds were surprisingly comfortable. The outdoor pool, despite its beauty, stood out as a highlight for relaxation during the stay.

The hotel's hilltop location offered a fantastic view but might be challenging for those with limited mobility due to uphill walks. Despite being slightly secluded, the proximity to the beautiful Trastevere and the peaceful ambiance away from the bustling city center were definite advantages.

With the curtains closed, my dining experience was enhanced by the beautiful view on the roof. While the poolside area was lovely, the quality of the food was inconsistent, with warm hot dishes.

Staying on the 3rd floor provided me with not only sunny and bright rooms but also stunning views of Rome city center a short distance away. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was pleasant, although parties in the restaurant below could get lively. The hotel sports amazing views down into the city center, making it a convenient location for exploration.
