HOTEL AVENTINO, Rome

The hotel is set in a peaceful, tree-lined neighbourhood away from the tourist crowds, with the Giardino degli Aranci (Orange Garden) and Basilica di San Sabina within a few minutes' walk. The Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and Forum are reachable in around 20 minutes on foot, while Testaccio and its dining scene are about 10 minutes away. The nearest metro is Circo Massimo (10 minutes downhill), providing one-stop access to the Colosseum; bus stops are also about 10 minutes away. For those arriving by car, on-site private parking costs €15/night (reservation required). A taxi to central sights costs roughly €10. The Aventine Hill involves walking uphill from the metro, which can be strenuous with luggage.

Rooms are decorated in a classic style with luxurious fabrics and parquet flooring, creating a charming atmosphere. Each room includes air conditioning, a minibar, an LCD satellite TV, and a private bathroom with toiletries and a shower. Twin beds can be separated upon request. Room sizes vary: some are compact with limited space for luggage, while superior rooms are more spacious and may include a spa bath. Ground-floor rooms can be dark and have limited natural light; rooms at the rear of the property may be modern but lack the villa character. Noise from internal sources (e.g., early kitchen activity) has been noted in some rooms; upper-floor rooms tend to be quieter. Kettles are not standard but are available on request.

Breakfast is a continental buffet with bread, pastries, croissants, boiled eggs, cheese, cold cuts, fruit, yoghurt, and good coffee - served either in the elegant dining room or outdoors in the floral garden when weather permits. The variety can be simple but sufficient, with fresh items available. The property's restaurant, Ristorante #1, serves Italian cuisine in a traditional, romantic atmosphere, open for brunch, dinner, and high tea. For guests who want to explore, Testaccio is a 10-minute walk away with a wide choice of restaurants and cafés.

The garden provides a calm space to relax with a drink or read, and breakfast is served there in fine weather. Bicycle rental is available for an additional charge, offering a way to explore the Aventine Hill and nearby attractions like the Orange Garden and the keyhole view of St. Peter's. There is no spa, wellness centre, or swimming pool on site.

The 24-hour front desk can arrange airport shuttle services (paid), taxis, and private transfers. Luggage storage is available for early arrivals or late departures. Daily housekeeping is included free of charge. Facilities include a lift, soundproof rooms in parts of the building, and wheelchair accessibility (accessible bathroom and elevator). Parking is private, on-site, costs €15/night, and requires advance reservation; an electric vehicle charging station and accessible parking spot are also available. The hotel is fully non-smoking and has allergy-free rooms. Additional services include ironing, laundry, and babysitting (both at extra cost).
