We just returned from Navona Garden Suites. It is (or was) a little secret place in Rome near the Piazza Navona. It is tucked in behind the scenes of a very popular and busy area. The rooms are a good size and they have the most comfortable beds in Italy. There is a selection of food for breakfast (or a snack) in your room.

We missed seeing the owners Davide and Loredana and had a problem with the lady working there, but Loredana was wonderful in helping us out, even though she was not in Rome.
Camelia, the cleaning lady, is just the best---she is just the nicest lady!! I can't say enough about her! We really enjoyed her company.

We have already sent friends there, who stayed right before our arrival and they loved it.
We were in the room that is reported to be noisy and they have built a little wall to help with the problem. We didn't have any problem this time or before the wall.

We would definitely return and hope to see Camelia, Davide and Loredana again.

What can I say that hasn't been said about Navona Garden Suites? It's a quiet sanctuary after a busy day of walking and sightseeing in Rome. It takes 4 keys to enter our 'room', which by any standards is large and comfortable, with everything 2 girlfriends travelling together could need. Triaian and Camelia treated us royally, sharing information about their city, excellent places to eat (We tried them ALL) and turning down our bed with chocolates on our pillows at the end of the day - how 'sweet' is that? Our little pantry was well stocked every day with breakfast goodies, so that we could choose to eat in our room or outside our door in the delightful courtyard, filled with plants and light. When we stepped outside the ancient door into the street, it was alive with activity - shops, restaurants and the day to day activities of all who live there....and Piazza Navona and Campo di Fiori are just around the corner, 2 great places to people watch and relax!!! So, if you're staying in Rome for a night or longer, check it out - you won't be disappointed!!!! Ciao, until next time!! :o)

We stayed in this boutique hotel during august. When we arrived we were offered to upgrade or room at no extra charge. The room was excellent, spacious, clean and decorated with antiques in keeping with the 500 year old building. We had booked a "do as the Romans do". This included a walk through the adjacent area with the concierge. We were shown the best local eateries for pizza salad and ice cream, we eat at all the recommendations. In each case the food was excellent, service very good and all value for money. I would recommend this to any first time visitors to Rome. The location is in the centre of historic Rome, within easy walking distance of the Navona square, the pantheon and the trivi fountain. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to soak up the beauty of Rome.

We stayed at the Navona Garden Suites in June in the Rafaello 1 Suite and had a wonderful time. There was plenty of room (4 females so we had lots of stuff!), lots of hanging and drawer space, lovely Italian antique furniture and a little kitchen & breakfast area. Room was very quiet and beds were exceptionally comfortable so ensured a great nights sleep, airconditioning was great and plenty of breakfast supplies were included. You can't beat the location, very quiet behind the big wooden front doors, step out into the street and you have everything you need - restaurants, cafes, shops, bars, short walk to Piazza Navone, Campo de Fiori, Pantheon etc. You can easily walk (or there are buses/taxis etc very close by) to all the other big sights as well. We felt very safe and secure and the inner courtyard is just gorgeous. Traian and Carmelia are just wonderful and really made our stay in Rome a fantastic and enjoyable one with great recommendations for good restaurants, maps and lots of helpful information. (Handy having a dentist onsite too just in case you need one!). We also arranged an arrival and departure car with Traian which was perfect and on time. Carmelia is just gorgeous, she made us feel very welcome and looked after us - we felt like we were staying with long lost relatives and made to feel very at home. I cannot fault anything about Navona Garden Suites and can't wait to go back. Thanks again Traian and Carmelia for making our time in Rome so enjoyable - we look forward to seeing you again and staying at Navona on our next visit.
