Overall we had a great experience with Michele. He was very friendly, inviting and dependable. We stayed in 2 different rooms overlooking the main street and noise was not a problem. Room has a fridge and a safe you can use for a small fee. Breakfast bar was OK-- just a self service bar with OK coffee, and one day... more

The B&B is situated very close to the Vatican and has great access to Pizzaeria's and many restaurants. It's literally only 2 blocks away from the Metro, so easy to get the train station, and other sights. The only tricky thing was finding the B&B. The signs aren't apparent. There are no signs on the building, once you enter, you... more

It was my first time at a B&B and now I know how it´s good to stay in one! This B&B was suggested by a Italian friend of mine. It ´s very well located, quite close to Vatican (which is around 200 meters away from the the B&B). The B&B hosts only 3 rooms, all of them has their own... more

A great place to stay, Michele the host was very welcoming, after making us an expresso, and gave us information of where to eat (where the locals go!) and loads of info on the city. Breakfast is a buffet of pastries, yogurt and fruit as well well as delicious coffee which you can help your-self to at any time. Spotless... more

28th Jan 2009 Great Location just 50m Vatican wall, all rooms are on the 5th floor, but there is a lift and stairs. Our party stayed in two of the three rooms which the Ancient Romance had to offer. They have a safe, a hair dryer and were stylishly decorated. The minibar was stocked with reasonably priced drinks (70cl bottle... more

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Fellini room at Ancient Romance for 2 nights in Rome. It is classy and delightful with a fantastic view of Rome from our window. The location is perfect for exploring the Vatican. The owner Michele is very helpful and trustworthy. My girlfriend and I both enjoyed our stay. Richard more

Just back from a long weekend Rome. We enjoyed every minute of the trip and this fantastic B&B added to the pleasure of staying in Rome. It's a well situated (just minutes from the Vatican and from the Metro), tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and comfortable B&B providing very pleasant and good service. more

This is an excellent place to stay for people who want to explore rome. It is few minutes from the vatican museums and St. Peters. Me and my husband walked everywhere from Ancient Romance to the colosseum, pantheon, spanish steps etc. If you dont like to walk ur just minutes away from the Ottaviano train station. Best of all was... more

Arrived in Rome by train from airport. Got fleeced by un-metered taxi (paid 35 Euro, should be approx 12 Euro) from train Terminii to B&B. So make sure you always use metered taxi in Rome. Also use Metro (underground) located a couple of blocks away and get a 24 hour ticket, its cheap. Rooms are on 5th floor but great... more
