My husband and I visited Italy this past holiday season including wonderful Rome! We stayed at the Hotel Villa Pinciana for three nights in their junior suite and found it to be a beautiful, elegant and class-act hotel located in a quieter area of Rome yet close to the Borghese; the main shopping areas near the Spanish Steps and to one of our favorite restaurants, Lo Stil Nuvo-just around the corner! Both my husband and I have sensitive backs and the bed's mattress was what I would compare to a foam mattress of the highest quality-very comfortable. The breakfast offered was fine; pastries, fresh fruits, cereals, breads of all types, meat/cheese trays along with juices and the best coffee I had while in Rome! We did ask alot of questions of the front desk manager(s) and every time, each of them was very gracious, helpful and friendly. Would we return? You betcha!!

This wonderful hotel is a quiet gem in what can be a noisy city! It is within a few minutes' walking distance to the Villa Borghese Parc - an excellent location for walking or jogging. I love the breakfast setting on the outdoor patio (in the spring). It is a wonderful value with friendly, helpful staff.

The Hotel Villa Pinciana is a lovingly restored Italianate Villa in a very quiet neighborhood steps from the American Embassy and Via Veneto and the Villa Borghese. Its decorator did a meticulous job of blending light candlelight yellows and whites with Venetian hand blown glass chandeliers and fixtures in the lobby area, and the color theme continues into the rooms above, which are extremely well sound proofed and quiet. Rooms are large, high-ceilinged and beautifully decorated with thick luxuriant carpeting. Beds are expensive, thick and will seduce into sleep easily, sheets and covers high quality. One side of the hotel gazes onto an old church, the other sides onto quiet nearby streets. This is a family-owned hotel and I was extremely impressed to find the warm and friendly female owner coming into the breakfast room to greet my wife and me as if we were family. Although they own 14 of these luxury properties, she treated us as if we were her only guest, an experience we will never forget! Antonio, her front desk manager, went out of his way to help us when we were stuck in Assisi and trying to get to the hotel during a strike. He kindly called the Italian railways and got all of the pertinent information, a real gem. I hate to share such a precious hotel experience (we've visited 50 countries and stayed at some of the best, and this goes into our little travel book as one of our world's favorites) By the way, a secret: the hotel is a 5 star property in everything but services (they have no restaurant or concierge) and marked 4 stars because of the services it does not have (a unique marketing attempt, which I really liked), so you are getting definitely a high luxury Preffered Hotels of the World type of experience for much less if you don't mind taking your own bags to the room and wandering through the delightful restaurants all through the neighborhood to get your lunch or dinner. By the way, one of the best dining experiences in Rome without the exorbitant prices is just around the corner, San Marcos, which has a few branches around Rome. They are like eating at the Ruth's Chris of Italian food--beautiful food in endless variety. But back to the beautiful Villa Pinciana--our experience was luxurious and beautiful and unforgettable and we will definitely be back!

Lovely small hotel in a great location for sightseeing in Rome. A lovely oasis to return to after a day's exploring the attractions. Nice breakfast. Staff helpful when needed.
