This is my second stay at Hotel Villa San Pio and I’m so happy to return. It’s up on Aventino Hill, near the beautiful Giardino Degli Aranci and above Circo Massimo. A proper Italian villa, surrounded by flowers and shady, beautiful gardens (plumbago, bouganvillea, magnolia and star jasmine for the plant lovers). Think monogrammed linen, little balconies, hand-painted Italian motifs on the walls and doors and delightful, elegant rooms. After the hustle of central Rome, it is an absolute delight to return to this calm and cool hotel and to wake in the morning to the sound of birds instead of traffic and sirens. The free breakfast is lovely, and you can eat in the shady garden in a number of seating areas. Honestly cannot recommend this hotel more - I will return whenever I am in Rome. Grazie
