HOTEL SELVA CANDIDA, Rome

Thanks to its position near the Selva Candida - Casal del Marmo exit of the orbital road, the hotel offers stress-free access for drivers - free, secure parking is always available. For those without a car, bus 904 stops directly outside the main gate and reaches Cornelia metro station in about 20 minutes, from where the centre of Rome is a further metro ride away. Taxis to the city cost roughly €50. A supermarket is located right opposite the entrance, and a well-rated restaurant is within a 100-metre walk, making it easy to pick up supplies or have a meal without driving.

Rooms are decorated in a classic style and vary from double and twin configurations to family-friendly quadruple rooms (a separate bedroom with a double bed plus a living area with a double sofa bed). All rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, though the air-conditioning system may be less effective during the night, and rooms near the reception can pick up lobby noise in the morning. Each unit includes a flat-screen TV, a minibar, a wardrobe, and a private bathroom with a bath or shower. The apartments feature a private entrance and a separate seating area. No rooms have a balcony. The overall comfort is adequate for a short stay, with daily cleaning service available on request.

The breakfast buffet includes fresh pastries, bread, cold cuts, cheese, boiled eggs, fruit, yoghurt, juices, and coffee. Gluten-free and lactose-free products are available upon request. The 24-hour bar serves drinks, snacks, and a limited room-service menu, while a snack bar and coffee house are also on site. There is no full restaurant, but the nearby area offers a convenient pizzeria and other dining options within walking distance, and food delivery services (e.g. Glovo, Just Eat) can deliver to the hotel.

The spacious, well-maintained gardens provide a calm environment with tables and chairs where guests can relax in the shade. A children's playground is available for younger visitors. For those seeking more active leisure, the hotel's location is perfect for walking or short drives into the surrounding countryside or towards Rome. The lack of a pool or wellness centre makes this a better fit for guests who prioritise peace and green space over extensive leisure facilities.

The 24-hour reception can handle check-ins at any hour, store luggage before check-in or after checkout, and provide travel information and restaurant recommendations. The paid shuttle service (€55 for up to 4 people, 06:00-22:00, booked one day ahead) covers Fiumicino and Ciampino airports. On-site, guests find a 24-hour bar, a shared lounge with a TV, a minimarket, and a coffee shop. Additional paid services include laundry/ironing/dry cleaning, meeting/banquet facilities, and public transport tickets. Accessibility features include wheelchair-accessible rooms, emergency cords in bathrooms, grab rails, and an elevator. Family extras such as cots, babysitting (paid), and the children's playground are provided. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.
