I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff was exceptionally accommodating and made an effort to upgrade my room for a reasonable additional cost, the overall comfort was lacking due to old rooms that had issues with noise. The location was charming, close to local restaurants, but a little removed from typical tourist spots. The dining options were decent, though the prices for some meals felt a bit high compared to the overall experience.

The location was quaint, with nice restaurants for dinner and in close proximity to the town square. However, it's not very frequented by foreign tourists, which made it a bit challenging to find English speakers in some restaurants.

The dining was a mixed bag; while the breakfast included a good variety of fruits and cereals, some of the restaurant prices felt a bit steep. However, I did enjoy the fresh local fish options.

The hotel has a lovely setting with beautiful views, and the rooms were very clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the stay more enjoyable.

I found the hotel to have a beautiful location, nestled in the hills south of Rome, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The rooms, although spacious, felt a bit outdated, and the service had its moments, especially with a somewhat rude staff member leaving us stranded at the train station. Dining was decent, with breakfast options that were good, though not overly plentiful. The facilities, particularly the pool area and gardens, were lovely and inviting, which made up for some shortcomings in other areas.

The hotel offers a friendly and helpful service, and the location is charming, allowing access to beautiful nearby towns. However, the rooms are in dire need of renovation and comfort, resembling cells with minimal natural light. While dining had its moments, it didn't quite meet the expectations of a four-star hotel.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were very clean and had a charming touch with their architecture, but they weren't as spacious as I had hoped. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired, feeling a bit snooty and unwelcoming. The location was unique, offering a glimpse into a less touristy part of Italy, but the ambience outside could use some love. The breakfast was varied and mostly satisfying, although I felt it wasn't quite worth the cost.
