We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at Hotel Villa Duse—truly one of the highlights of our trip to Rome. The entire family who runs the villa made us feel like guests in their own home, from the very first inquiry to our departure. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made our engagement trip feel extra special. We arrived by car, and the location was perfect—safe, affordable street parking right outside, with easy access to both the Borghese Gardens (just a short walk) and the city center via train or bus. The villa itself is stunning, full of charm and character, and our room was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. One of the most unique touches? The honesty bar where we could help ourselves to drinks—such a warm, welcoming gesture that really captured the heart of the place. Breakfast was outstanding: a delicious mix of classic Italian pastries, fresh bread, cold cuts, cheeses, eggs, muesli, yogurt, and even freshly made scrambled eggs and pancakes on request. The desserts were so good we almost didn’t leave room for dinner! Honestly, I’m not sure how many pounds I gained—but it was worth every bite. If we ever return to Rome, there’s no question: we’ll be booking Villa Duse again without hesitation.
Staying at Hotel Villa Glori was an absolute delight from start to finish. The property is immaculately clean, with every corner showing attention to detail—this isn’t just a hotel, it feels like a home away from home. The breakfast spread was exceptional: fresh pastries, local cheeses, cured meats, and rich Italian coffee—all served with a warm smile. I especially loved the quiet, charming ambiance of the villa, which made it easy to unwind after a day exploring Rome. It’s also well-located, just a short walk or quick metro ride into the city center. For the quality, comfort, and hospitality, this place offers incredible value. I’ll definitely be back—and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rome.
Staying for four nights was an absolute delight! The room was surprisingly spacious for Rome, and the view across from the window directly faced a stunning church—waking up to that sight every morning felt like a little piece of magic. The breakfast area manager, Rafiq, truly stood out—he remembered each guest’s preferences and greeted us warmly by name, making the experience feel personal and welcoming. The hotel also offers complimentary shuttle service to Piazza Spagna, and the driver was not only fluent in English but incredibly patient and helpful throughout the ride, sharing local tips along the way. From the thoughtful touches to the excellent service, this stay exceeded expectations. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone visiting Rome.
