Hi

My husband and 3yr old stayed here. The staff were very friendly and the room was kept spotless by the maids.

Our chalet was situated outside in the grounds. The bed filled most of the room, so not much room for 2 Adults and 1 lively child! If we were to stay again I would ask for a room in the main building.

Breakfast was lovely and Maria who helped out was really sweet, and would go out of her way to help, as would all the staff.

As the previous post, once you knew your way around town, the transport links were good.

The one and only thing that marred our trip was the mosquitos. We were eaten alive, and I still have the scars to prove it. There was no warning before we arrived or from the website about this, so were unprepared. Our daughter mangaged to get just a handful on her legs, but still not nice to see a child suffering bites like these. There was a screen covering the tiny window to the chalet but this was uneffective. I would warn people to take some precautions before they stay here.

It was great value for money, but I wouldn't recommend the chalets in the grounds!

This place is not easy to be found by just using public transport. We managed in the end, but as the only means of transport was bus with a bus stop not close to the place, it was a struggle. Once you know your abouts, it actually takes only 5 min. to the bus stop and further 20 to 30 min. ride to the city. The main road Torrevecchia is lovely, busy district with lots of eateries, pizza places, coffee shops and gelato parlays. In fact, you can take a bus to the city and hop off along the way as you see many other shops and eateries. Better than trying to find a dinner deal in the city. Romittelo itself provides quite simple and very basic accommodation to budget travellers. It was quite and had its ambience with its private chapel, park, balconies... Some of the pilgrims even could organise their own party in a common room. Staff was very attentive and helpful. Breakfast was quite ordinary, cereal, toast, jam, but you could always get fresh fruit from the local fruit market for a nickel and a supermarket was a stone through away. Next time to Rome and we will, we will stay in there.

My wife and I went to Rome in May in order to attend a family celebration of my son who is married to an italian women. We had seen a travel voucher for this hotel on eBay but since the voucher was not valid for the high-season in May we booked directly with them for 70 Euro per night incl. breakfast.
The Romitello used to be a holiday-home for pilgrims but has opened to the general public recently.
It is located in the midst of a very well kept garden in an area called Torrevecchia, not far away and well connected to the center of Rome.
Upon arrival we were cordially received by José, the manager of the complex, who also showed us to our room: the standars is that of a three star hotel but our room was perfectly fit to accommodate us during the five days we stayed there.
The beds were comfortable and enabled us to rest well after a day of sightseeing, the breakfast was surprisingly complete and of excellent quality, the staff could not have been more accommodating and the price was unbeatable!
We will certainly return to this gem and can reccommend the Romitello to anybody looking for simple but clean and personalized lodging at budget rates.
