Villa Alberici is sensational.
It’s a small group of beautiful Renaissance buildings, charming and wonderfully decorated rooms and a lovely, large garden. It’s elegant and luxurious but thanks to the owners, it also feels like home. Anna greeted us like old friends and was amazingly helpful with showing us around and giving great advice on how to get anywhere we wanted in Rome and making suggestions for other things to do. It was like visiting your favourite cousin in her spectacular home, who is eager to make your visit as perfect as it can be.
Our room was immaculate and stunning, with chandeliers (!), beautiful ceilings and nice bathrooms; breakfasts are varied, delicious and generous; the garden is a peaceful oasis in busy Rome; buses are three minutes walk away and easy to catch to the Vatican and St Peter’s (five minutes ride - or fifteen minutes walk) and the centre of Rome (Colosseum, Forum, Piazza Navona etc) (less than twenty minutes ride); and a wonderful restaurant is a few minutes walk away.
Breathtaking all round.
