This place is OK. If you would like a place to stay close to Rome, this is your place. It costs around €50 by taxi to the colloseum, about the same with Uber. It was quiet and out of the city which is exactly what we wanted with location. Free parking if you have a car! Which is one of the reasons why we booked it.
Our room was a "garden view" which we paid extra for, as we were on our honeymoon. It looks directly into the parking lot and to the communal breakfast area on the ground floor, which meant we had to keep the curtains closed if we wanted any privacy. The bathroom needs some refurbishing. The shower curtain was mold stained and the fan barely works which created a very musty smell.
The breakfast is overpriced, skip it. Go to a local cafe instead. Costs €13 per person for the "continental" which included just a small assortment of sliced bread, couple of stale pastries and croissant. They have an extra breakfast menu which is actually quite reasonable and looked great! But this was not mentioned of course when they asked us to order the evening before. Had we known about the breakfast menu, we would have opted for just coffee and croissant and added a few things from there to our morning.
When we went to settle our room charges from breakfast, it was far more expensive than €13 each, which did not add up. When I pointed this out, the woman said "this is how much Rome costs". Only after asking several times for them to double check, did we figure out why- they had charged another room's breakfast to ours and the woman reluctantly gave us back the difference in cash after we had paid with card.
It was not a great experience overall, however we were only there one night, it didn't put a major damper on things. We are quite disappointed as most of the other reviews pointed to a...

The property is peaceful and surrounded by trees, offering a quiet place to rest after a demanding day. Our room was spotless, cool, and comfortable, with everything we needed to recover.

We were deeply grateful for the hospitality and care we received. La Rocchetta provided the rest and comfort every pilgrim hopes for at the end of a long day. Highly recommended to anyone walking the Via Francigena or...
Read moreA Truly Exceptional Stay! From start to finish, our experience at this hotel was nothing short of wonderful. The owners were incredibly sweet, warm, and genuinely welcoming. Their hospitality went above and beyond and they provided support every step of the way and made sure our stay was comfortable and stress-free. What truly stood out was their understanding and flexibility: on checkout day, they graciously allowed my guests to stay past the 10 a.m. (checkout time) which meant the world to us. Their kindness and generosity created such a positive and memorable impression. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to rebook this hotel again and again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy, caring, and friendly place...
