“What stood out to me was the feeling of being personally cared for, enhanced by the homemade breakfast, which seems to cater to individual requests. Situated in a quieter area, the location still offers views of St. Peter's Basilica, while being a brief walk to the Vatican. It seems like a comfortable base for exploring Rome's historic sites, especially appealing to families.”
