The B&B is clean, quiet, and beautiful! The best thing about it though, was the location which is in site of the Cavour subway stop, and a manageable walk ro almost all of ancient Rome and many famous sites. The room was modern, the terrace beautiful, Anna delightful, and the neighborhood is lively yet safe. Just be aware that there are 88 stairs to climb at the end of the day which can be a challenge after site seeing. Still, even though we are in our 50s it was manageable and if you don't mnd that (we didn't) you will be happy if you stay here.

Staying at Annaluce's B&B was incredibly convenient and comfortable. If you're arriving via train, don't try to save a few bucks and walk...it's not worth it once you see how close you are to the Cavour metro stop. Ride the subway from the train station to Cavour, walk out, and you're right in front of her building. Cavour is an up and coming neighborhood in Rome so there are plenty of restaurants and cafe's in the area. You will also be walking distance tot he colosseum, Roman forum, and pretty much all the other main attractions in Rome.

The B&B is on the top floor of a 5 story building, so if you have heavy bags be ready to climb a few flights of stairs. The building is very nice and secure, no worries of being in a shady area. The room we stayed in had a queen sized bed, large dresser to store clothes, and a large private bathroom. Anna was very nice and offered plenty of advice for seeing the city. She has the PERFECT terrace to relax on a warm summer day with a glass of wine and some snacks.

I highly recommend staying at Annaluce's B&B to save some money while visiting Rome. It's convenient to many sites and is very comfortable.

Restaurant you should try: Due Colonne (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g187791-d2044656-Reviews-Due_Colonne-Rome_Lazio.html). Food was FANTASTIC and incredibly cheap. Highly highly recommend. Just thinking about this meal again makes me miss Italy.

Contacted Anna directly through her website, and booked our stay with her. Paid a deposit through paypal which was very easy. Thanks to a flight delay, we didn't arrive until after midnight, which is not the way you want to start your holiday. We managed to email Anna to let her know, and in spite of the lateness of the evening, she warmly greeted us and got us settled in. Our room was large and very comfortable. The bathroom is modern and very light- I wish ours was this nice! Everything was clean, tidy and simple, and we immediately felt at home. There is a bookcase with plenty of novels and such in different languages, as well as some travel guides for Italy, which we actually found helpful for one of our excursions, in spite of our own travel books. The a/c was fantastic, and we did find we needed it, even in April. There is a bit of street noise, esp in the morning. We always travel with earplugs and eyemasks, as you never know what you might need, and the eye masks were not needed, but we did use our earplugs. It just depends on how light of a sleeper you are in the morning. View from window was pleasant enough of the area. Plenty of closet space for clothes, and chest of drawers for use if wanted.

Breakfast was lovely on the terrace. Simple fare, as others of have said, but presented very well, and truthfully, more than enough to break your fast. we also used the terrace in the afternoon one day, having walked our feet off.

Anna was very gracious and we very much enjoyed our stay. We could come and go as we pleased, we felt very safe in the neighbourhood and building and we would stay here again in a heartbeat if it was available. It is worth mentioning as others have that there is no lift, and it is a climb at the end of the day.

Our tips: We had really two full days. We started at the Colosseum (buy your tickets at the Palatine Hill, as there is very little queue, and it's right next to the Colosseum), then walked around the city centre. We followed a suggested walk that 'Ron In Rome' suggests for cruise ship tourists. We then went back out in the evening to take photos of the Colosseum and other sights at night. Second day: Vatican (St Peters) and Catacombes. We opted not to go to museums, but did want to see St Peters. We walked there, and it was a very long walk on a warm morning. If you do this, and you're tired from the day before, we suggest you buy a one-day travel pass. It's 4 euros and though there isn't really much of a metro, you can pick it up at Cavour right by the B&B, transfer at the train station, and sets you down a short walk from the Vatican. We used it that afternoon to get our bus to the Catacombes, and again in the evening to see St Peters at night and Trevi fountain. It's a cheap option to save your legs (and we are fit people), The last morning Anna let us keep our bags in the room for a few hours while we had a last look around.

I felt we really lucked out in finding Annaluce. I would encourage anyone looking at this B&B to stop looking elsewhere and book here and hope that Anna has the availablity for you. I really can't say enough good things about it. But you must consider the stairs, as if you are mobility challenged, I think you will struggle with them at the end of a long day (I know my parents would not be able to manage, or would struggle to).

My neice and I spent a week in Rome and stayed in this wonderful bed & breakfast. The location was perfect as it is close to the colosseum and metro stop Cavour. Our host was so helpful and nice...the room was large with a great bathroom and we can't say enough about the use of the terrace. Every night we relaxed after our long days on the quiet terrace. We slept very well as the room is so comfortable and quiet. We will definitely stay here again when we come back.
