Just back from a long weekend at Orlando Innamorato where we stayed in the Orlando room - the one with jacuzzi bath. We had a taxi from the airport ( €60 with tip ) - would have been cheaper on train/tube but we were pretty tired and just wanted to get there as easily as possible.
We arrived to a warm welcome and were shown to our room. Lots of advice was given to us about where to eat, how to get about, free map etc - what a great first impression. Even before we arrived we had received lots of friendly communication from Natasia and Alessandra.
The breakfast was served on our private area of the terrace and consisted of bread, french toast, yoghurt, cereal and croissants. Plenty of juice and coffee/tea. Great way to start the day. Metro was just a short walk away and we soon became quite confident in getting abouit to the tourist attractions. There is a great restaurant just a few minutes from the apartment - a family run restaurant/pizzeria Baldus. Great value and wonderful service. Food was excellent. - we ate there twice and it is always full of locals which is a good indication of it's popularity.
Rome is hard work especially if you are only there for a few days and want to get around as many of the sights as possible - so the jacuzzi was fantastic to soak away the aches and pains after lots of walking in the beautiful sunshine. It was so nice to come back to a homely base rather than a sterile hotel which would have cost far more than this fantastic B&B. We would not hesitate to recommend to anyone visiting this amazing city. There are so many nice touches -Complimentary tea and coffee available all day .flat screen tv's, free internet , air conditioning ,SPOTLESSLY clean and comfortable - our bed was so comfy.
Orlando Innamorato would be hard to improve - the ladies have things worked out perfectly. Two or three minor suggestions to make the B&B even better, would be to provide a full length mirror somewhere in the apartment - and also to have 2 proper cups in each room for the complimentay coffees rather than the plastic ones which can be tricky to carry when full of hot coffee. Finally, a small bin on the terrace would be useful.
These are minor details- we almost feel mean even mentioning them but they do not detract in any way from the fantastic experience we had during our stay.
Grazie tanto Natasia and Alessandra. We will be in touch after our wedding in Venice x
