Aventino Orange Garden Suites

The bed was so comfortable! The host was absolutely lovely! The location was perfect, quiet yet close to the colloseum! The apartment was beautiful and and decorated with such style!

I am always wary about reviewing fantastic properties, because to be selfish, the good score means that it may be difficult to get return bookings. Alessandra is the perfect host, her home is very beautiful and location is perfect.

Deepest thanks to Signora Sandra for her cordial welcome and her grace, courtesy and helpfulness during my stay. The room (with clean and well-appointed private bath; there are also two other rooms which share an external bathroom) was comfortable, quiet, well lit with a northeastern exposure, and with excellent air-conditioning. The coffee, yoghurt and homemade cake made for a very pleasant breakfast in a splendid library. The setting on the Aventine is ideal: two steps from the Orange Garden (Giardino degli Aranci) with its panoramic view of the city, from the early Christian church of Santa Sabina (mother church of the Dominicans and with 5th-century carved wooden doors), and from the keyhole view of St. Peter's at the Magistral Villa (Villa del Prioritato di Malta); an easy 15-minute walk to Trastevere, an easy 15- or 20-minute walk to the Capitoline.

I liked everything.

The owner, very stylish interior, the location, comfortable beds, airco. We felt very welcomed, teenage kids first felt shy that it was a real b&b but given the privacy and friendliness, they were just as happy as us. Got nice tips from the owner (orange garden around the corner is a must visit Belvedere) as well as flexibility at leaving (luggage could stay longer and we could keep the keys) and even takeaway homemade chocolate cake including the recipe!

I wish we could stay longer. Hope to come back.
