Knowing we had a very long journey to Rome from Australia ahead of us, we were in search of a quiet, comfortable and also affordable place in which to recharge our batteries, before embarking on our tour through Italy.

Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Ylenia and after a brief orientation of the house, shown to our room. Noticing how incredibly tired we were, Ylenia allowed us to pay our bill prior to leaving, despite the policy noting that payment upon arrival is due. We were incredibly grateful to have a clean, comfortable and quiet place to catch up on much needed rest after a 44 hour journey.

Throughout our stay we were made to feel exceptionally welcomed not only by Ylenia, but also by her husband and the young girl who greeted us with breakfast each morning.

For an authentic and local dining experience within walking distance, we highly recommend the 'Spaghetti alle Vongole' (Spaghetti with Clams) at the Tennis Club, which is located across the road.

It is necessary to mention however, that despite fluent communication in English by email, English is not spoken at the B & B at all.

We would absolutely recommend Country Rome Bed and Breakfast, especially for those who have just arrived and wanting a slower paced introduction to Italy.

Upscale Bed & Breakfast in well kept lush gardens - next to Tennis Club & Restaurant - outskirts of Rome -close enough to drive into the city or take public transport.
CAN BE TOUGH TO FIND.

We spent 2 nights here and were actually thankful to be away from the frenzy and heat of Rome. The neighborhood is quiet and rooms were clean with good air conditioning. It's a little bit of a walk to the bus or tram stop, but the ride into city center isn't that bad. They sell tickets for the bus right at the hotel, so it's very handy.
The house itself is homey and very comfortable. The family who own it live next door, so you have the run of the house to read or sit out in the lovely yard.
Our daughters enjoyed the free access to the internet, and we all relished the wonderful breakfasts of fresh fruit, little sandwiches and buns with jam. This family works very hard to make you feel comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

The bus ride into Rome takes a while each morning but it is worth it as the standard of the accomodation that you get here would be out of reach of the average pocket in the centre of Rome.

The surroundings are also very quiet and after a manic day in Rome that is also very nice. If you walk to St Peter's square area to stop a taxi then it can get you back to the B&B for as little as 10 euros. further in the centre of Rome it will cost more as they have to weave through manic Rome traffic.

The B&B is lovely and by far the cleanest place that I have ever stayed in Italy. Ylania was a pleasure and she made sure that our stay was too.

If you don't mind a short journey and you don't want to pay through the nose then this is the place for you!!
