Great rooms, great and helpful staff, excellent breakfast. We have been there twice and we'll certainly come back again. :-)

We ended our two wk Italian vacation at this hotel staying the last 4 days of our trip. Loved it clean bright rooms and very inviting public areas. The staff was as generous with their smiles as they were with their time. Helpful and very informative about transportation and local resturants. Francesco was extremely helpful and in the bar area treated you as if you were a guest in his home. Good wine and beer selection and the meat/cheese and crackers he served us one of the nights was wonderful. The "continental" breakfast is great (pastries to die for) and capuccino made to order too....we didn't have a car but found the bus to the Metro and Metro on into Rome a great experience. Agree the road is a bit of a challage for pedestrians but the Italian drivers are just as careful and aware of you as you are of them. Couldn't have asked for a better place to end our Italian adventure - true you could stay in the heart of Rome but this hotel is ALL HEART and I would stay here again without hesitation !!

We stayed at the Hotel Selva Candida for four nights. The hotel is very clean and tidy but we found our room rather small and it says sound proof rooms but they are not. Ours was right next to the lobby and we could hear guests arriving, leaving and any phone calls that came through, along with people snoring in the room next door.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, the internet access and use of a laptop in reception was also handy.
The location was too far out for us though. Although there is a bus stop over the road from the hotel, it takes 30 mins to get to Cornelia and then a metro ride to where ever your visiting, which when only staying for a short time eats into the day. We also found the road outside the hotel rather unsettling. It has no walk way so when walking back from a restaurant at night with no street lights and rather fast cars, buses and motorbikes whizzing past it is not great. The restaurants were nice though and no more expensive than in the centre.
I wouldn't recommend for families with no car. If you have transport it is much better.
The best thing about this hotel is the little cafe just up the road from the Hotel, although they speak very little english they are lovely. The cakes, food and drinks are cheaper than most places and the food is great!
The breakfast at the hotel we found lovely, there is no hot food but there is plenty of other things. Fresh juice, fruit, bread, meats and cheese are plentiful.
Our room also had no english speaking tv channels which although is not a major issue I would have liked to see the news at least.
All in all a clean hotel with friendly staff and a nice breakfast but location and room sizes are not the best. We would use a hotel closer to the centre next time and one that probably has tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms.

Thanks to all previous reviews we picked this hotel to stay at. We were not disappointed, the staff is excellent (friendly and caring) rooms are clean, the property was beautiful and well kept. This is a family run hotel and was a farm several decades ago. If you get a chance ask them about their history (they opened up right after 9/11) We would stay here again. And just as a reminder you can catch a bus to the subway but be cautious walking to the bus stop. The good news, Italian drivers are very aware of pedestrians.
