A Vacation at the Countryside Hotel in Rome
In the historic city of Rome, we chose to stay at Piccolo Borgo Hotel. Located at Via delle Capannelle 134, the hotel is about a €55 taxi ride from Fiumicino International Airport. For those who prefer to avoid the crowded city center, this is a great alternative. 🛬🗺️
The hotel’s location is a bit secluded, surrounded by a peaceful countryside vibe. To reach the city center, you can take a taxi or use the hotel’s complimentary shuttle service, which runs every 20 minutes to the nearest metro station. However, the shuttle might require a bit of waiting in the evening. 🏡🚐
The check-in experience was pleasant, with friendly and courteous front desk staff. The hotel’s style is simple yet cozy, and the rooms are spacious and clean. The pool was a delightful surprise—my friends and I loved relaxing by it, though the drinks were a tad pricey. The atmosphere, however, was fantastic. 🏊♀️🍹
The in-room amenities were great too. While the bed was slightly firm, all the necessary facilities were provided. The Wi-Fi signal was stronger than expected, perfect for those who need to stay connected. Though there’s no desk, the setting is more than enough for anyone looking to escape the city’s hustle and bustle. 🛏️📶
As for the surroundings, there aren’t many restaurants or shops nearby, but a few excellent dining options are within reach. For instance, Mi'ndujo - Tuscolana is a great choice—don’t miss their delicious pasta! 🚲🍝 If you enjoy puzzle games, there are also several escape rooms in the area, like Creativity Escape Room, perfect for a brain-teasing challenge! 🕵️♂️🗝️
Of course, no perfect experience is without minor flaws. The hotel is a bit far from Rome’s main attractions, so sightseeing requires patience when waiting for the shuttle. Additionally, while most staff members were extremely friendly, a few occasionally fell short in attitude. 🚌🤔
All in all, Piccolo Borgo Hotel is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a quiet retreat in Rome without being too far from the city. It’s a place you’ll want to return to! Looking forward to visiting this romantic city again for more wonderful moments. 💖🍷
