    The WiFi is OK, but its stability could be improved.

    Hotel Villa San Pio is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and most pleasant hotels in the world. It offers a tranquil and peaceful home in Rome, close to everything, yet far from the city bustle. You have to stay there to understand.

    The bed was very old and you could feel the springs. It was made of 2 singles pushed together so there was the gap in the middle. Also the hot water even when fully on hot was luke warm at best.

    The location was great and lovely gardens. Breakfast was a nice inclusion.

    A gem of a hotel: Clean and cozy, perfectly located, with beautiful garden and friendly staff

    • Family with young children
    • Double or Twin Room

    So many things to like about this place: One of the best possible locations in Rome, just outside the tourist flows, but still close enough to everything (some 10 mins on foot to Circo Massimo, and another 7 or so to the Colloseum) in a green and quiet oasis full of hidden gems (in particular various chruches and Benedictine monasteries). Clean, comfy rooms with generous balconies, and all the luxury one needs, but nothing ostentatious. Decent breakfast buffet (although it can get a bit boring over several days) with sufficient salty choice, unlike most bars in Italy which will only serve you sweet stuff for breakfast. And above all nice and helpful (and fortunately not intrusive or overly eager to please) staff whether at breakfast, cleaning or front desk (and thinking here of signore Ettore in particular).

    It was worth the upgrade.

    I upgraded our stay to a larger top floor room and was not disappointed! The space felt luxurious and the breakfast was a great spread with good coffee. The staff were truly responsive and helpful.

    Cant think of anything to suggest improvement

    A beautiful hotel set in a quiet area of Rome, but all sights are easily accessible. Our room was beautiful, very large with a clawfoot bath in the bathroom - much needed to soak my feet after a day walking around Rome! The hotel staff were all welcoming and helpful, and the service was very good. The restaurant serves a lovely breakfast, bar aperitives and we ate in the restaurant twice as the food and atmosphere was so nice.

    The only suggestion would be to soundproof the rooms, could hear everything from adjoining rooms..

    The bath/shower was a little high to step into.

    A very beautiful and well kept hotel. Our room had all the comforts of a large bed, sofa and desk area. The bathroom was nice too. The bar/lounge area was an area we used every evening to relax after intensive walking to and from the main city area. We had a great stay. The staff were exceptional. :)

    A Fine Hotel in the Eternal City
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 12 nights

    The first room I received had a sort of discolouration in the ceiling and no bathtub so I had to wait a night for a change of rooms as it was fully booked. The second room was great. It's up a hill - and so it's a workout if one's using public transport as the Circo Massimo Metro station (the closest) is downhill. I didn't mind that as it was Spring (March, 2024) on most days. However on the first day, I made the mistake of taking the train to Rome (from Florence) and then taking my luggage through the Metro (from Roma Termini Station to Circo Massimo Station) and dragging it uphill from Circo Massimo: this was a pain as the pavement is uneven and the wheels kept going haywire. I left to the Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport on my last day via Taxi: this was a fixed fare of 50 Euros (the actual stipulated fare in Rome and arranged via the Hotel) and no hassle.

    The location is in quiet Aventine Hill near the Terrazza Belvedere Aventino. The Rooms are spacious and the Breakfast is served in a very beautiful dining area. I also appreciated the bathtub and the views of the pretty neighbourhood with well maintained residences, hotels and flowering trees.

    Villa San Pio is nice! The location is close enough to reach main attractions by foot (or rent an uber or bike), the breakfast was lovely (also the building which it is in), the hotel itself charming, staff is nice, we overall were pleased with our stay.

    The staff member who welcomed us to our room, came with a lovely welcome tray, but spilled the drinks he was carrying. This can happen, but I was surprised he did not clear the spill up. He left promptly, leaving us with the puddle of orange juice he created in our room, to clean ourselves. The hairdryer was not good power, really did not work well. The taxi / limosine service the hotel provided from the airport was 15 EU more expensive than typical 50 euro, and was a very unpleasant experience. they were late , had to wait and phone them. they smoked, the car smelled awful, the windscreen was cracked, the car was dented and when it came to payment, insisted on cash only as their card reader was broken, and then insisted they had no change - rate was 65, I had 2 x 50's. We were told they could accept 100 if we didn't have naything smaller!! We had come from switzerland, EU is not our local currency, but luckily we travel quite often, and were able to eventually able to piece together the 15 euro in coins from pockets of our coats etc. Do not use the hotel service for taxi, book your own or use freenow app etc.

    The welcome at reception was great, and the breakfast is very good with fresh fruit and a good range. The rooms were a nice temperature, and the building and decorations are great. Especially liked the outdoor eating areas and well maintained gardens with lemon trees. The area is nice and quiet, with a short walk to the city buses.
