I enjoyed this quirky old hotel very much. It's an elevator-less four floor old building with oddly juxtaposed levels, almost like an M C Escher drawing. For all that, it's very elegant, cozy and dignified. My room was immaculate and very comfortable, even if my bathroom was four marble steps down from the sleeping level. Each floor has sitting rooms and terraces with lattice walls, grape vines and flowering shrubs. It's in a very old neighborhood, San Lorenzo, adjacent to the University of Rome and loaded with terrific little restaurants. The lack of an elevator assures you'll get some exercise when you come back from your meals. Of course, this hotel is NOT for mobility-challenged persons.
