Villa Zaccardi

A little away from "downtown" - - and that's a good thing. Located in the neighbourhood of Monteverde this hotel is a 15 min streetcar ride to the Colosseum. The staff is terrific. We arrived very early and they stored our bags. When we came back our bags were in the room. Excellent. The neighborhood is quiet compared to the tourist areas. There is an awesome market only a block away. Worth checking out. Beautiful terrace seating at the entrance to the hotel with excellent food and drink. Hotel guests get 10% off. Breakfast included. Nice buffet and cheery service. Great way to start the day. 10/10. Thanks Villa Zaccardi.

We had a wonderful time during our 3-day stay in Rome. The villa is easily accessible by tram line 8. Everyone speaks English and the staff is very kind and helpful. There are several great-value restaurants in the area, perfect for an authentic dinner experience. The buffet breakfast is plentiful, with a wide variety of options to choose from — and you absolutely must try the cappuccino! The room is beautiful, the windows close tightly and block out noise effectively. Ours also had a balcony. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained, and even included a bidet. The toiletries provided were of excellent quality. In terms of value for money, we honestly don’t think we could have found a better place to stay in Rome.

Our room was clean, comfortable and elegant. I like the small features of the stay, such as the privacy blinders, beautiful shower, full-body mirror, thoughtful dresser & storage design. The check-in process was straightforward. The staff was friendly and answered all of my questions thoughtfully. The location is perfect; it's close to the city center but far away enough from the hustling and bustling.

Breakfast was pretty ok. It was diverse in pastries and had a few salty options like ham, cheese, vegetables and omlette but nothing too fancy. Overall it was a good experiece for our first time in Rome. We had the tram station (tram number 8) right next to the villa and it was taking us right into the city center in Piazza Venezia. Bear in mind that it's an almost 40 minutes tram ride until you get there, so it might look close on the map but it's not, expecially if it's hot outside. Our room was cleaned every day and we liked that. The air conditioning was working really well and it was a life saved when coming back to our room from a 35-38 degrees temperature.

It was a lovely stay. The rooms were nice and there was a lovely food festival going on in the park right next to the hotel. The beds were comfortable. The building was beautiful. The elevator is really small, perhaps one person can be there at once (plus a child), so they carry the luggage upstairs for you. It didn't bother us, but might effect some people.
