Hotel Villa Duse

Despite it being non smoking there was always a strong smell of cigar/cigarettes. Staff were friendly

Beautifully run by the family.

The owners were fantastic...great host

We loved this hotel. Off the beaten path in a quiet neighborhood. The rooms are lovely with high ceilings and big windows with lots of light. The window shades can be lowered to darken the room nicely. Our bathroom was large with a big tub. It was a little high to get in and would not be accessible, but it was great for a tub soak. And a nice shower. There are many places to sit outside on a lovely afternoon or evening. The fountains they run at night are nicely lit. Perfect for a glass of wine. They have a nice little bar. You can serve yourself and take things to drink out into the garden spaces. They also have a Nespresso coffee maker set up for on demand coffee you can drink anytime. The breakfast was great. Lots of choices in breads, cakes, fruit, quiche, yogurt, cereal, juice, meats and cheeses. Breakfast service was great with cappuccino and tea served on request. The breakfast room is cute and intimate. The staff was very helpful. They spoke English. They helped us find a wonderful restaurant nearby, Molto, we recommend highly. This restaurant was on a strip with several others, and some retail. About a 12 minute walk from the hotel. Very much a local neighborhood. All in all, it was a lovely stay, and wonderful to return from the busyness of Rome to relax in this quiet place. The only downside is that we had to take a taxi in and out of the city every day, for about $30 a trip. But it was totally worth it.

Everytime we go to Rome we love to stay there, small, beautiful and private, the breakfast made by the owners is wonderful but the best is the special way they welcome and treat you. Leonora and her mother the owners are like angels making you feel special. I love this place!!!
