Good morning, welcomed into the house with friendliness and kindness by the owner. I did not have breakfast because I had guided tours early in the morning. Five minutes from the Valle Aurelia metro station and close to the supermarket, pharmacy, newsstand, restaurants, and pastry shop. Impeccable cleanliness, sixth floor with elevator in a quiet and peaceful building. Safe area because I walked back from the center twice in the evening and never encountered problems. Since I haven't seen all of Rome, I will definitely return next year to the owner Simonetta in her fantastic house.

Everything was as expected—a nice accommodation near the Vatican and the Vatican Museums entrance. The neighborhood is full of life. Simonetta was kind and helpful. The room was cleaned every day. Hopefully, I can come back in the future. It is also near a sub-station, which makes it very convenient for tourism.

clare

Simonetta was a kind and generous host. She made our stay in Rome very pleasant! The property is very close to a Metro and Train station, which made it easy to navigate the city. I would suggest getting the breakfast option. Her breakfast croissants are the best I have ever had! I don't think I will find any that will beat them. Our flight landed in Rome at 7:00 am, and she was very accommodating in letting us check in early. She left delicious little candies in our room each day as well.

Hospitality and discretion, kindness and professionalism is what we found in this B&B that I highly recommend. Spacious, relaxing and tastefully furnished room, impeccable cleanliness, punctual and adequate breakfast. Convenient location to the metro. The passion and attention of the owner is evident in everything. We will remember Simonetta who welcomed us more as friends than as unknown guests. Highly recommended.

We stayed 2 nights at this property very close to Valle Aurelia metro stop, it's practically behind the Vatican, whose dome is clearly visible from the balcony where breakfast is served. The owner, Simonetta, warmly welcomes her guests, showing herself always available for any requests. Excellent room and bathroom cleanliness. Thank you for the hospitality!

Great Bed and Breakfast in the Trionfale district, a 5-minute walk from the Valle Aurelia metro stop on line A. The owner, Mrs. Simonetta, a very kind and discreet person, made us feel at home, it was very pleasant to chat with her. We stayed in the orange room, equipped with every comfort, very clean and quiet... and then from the terrace where breakfast is served, you can see the Dome.

We spent two nights at this B&B and we had a great time. Mrs. Simonetta is kind, courteous, and above all very discreet even though she resides in the same structure. It is an apartment used as a B&B but you feel at home. Surely if I were to return to Rome, this is where I would stay.

daria

The structure is very nice and welcoming, close to the metro so it is easy to reach the heart of the city. The rooms are clean, the owner, Mrs. Simonetta, is simply delightful, very helpful and of exemplary courtesy. The only flaw, if it can be called that, is the breakfast, very basic.

Grazie Daria per la recensione e per i complimenti alla mia persona, Sono contenta si capisca che faccio questo lavoro con amore. Mi dispiace solo sia rimasta delusa dalla colazione all'italiana, d'altra parte avendo solo due stanze non posso offrire un buffet con ampia scelta come gli hotel o chi ha molte stanze, però avrà notato che chiedo sempre ai miei ospiti cosa gradiscono perché sono sempre disponibile ad accontentare tutte le loro esigenze! Un caro saluto Simonetta

maurizio

Great location for the metro and restaurants, in those recommended by Simonetta you eat very well and spend the right amount. My children would like to come back already. If I have to find a small flaw, it is the 'French' bathroom. Everything very tidy and clean. Well done Simonetta.

Praise to those who, like Simonetta, still manage a family Bed and Breakfast. The welcome in a real home, the warmth of a lived and personalized space, in this case the owner personally created the beautiful decorations in the rooms and in the common area, is something truly unique and precious. So many thanks to Simonetta who went out of her way to give us all the useful advice on things to see outside the tourist circuits, who advised us on how to move around (the subway stop is just steps away from the property) and prepared a hot breakfast made on the spot, a real luxury nowadays. The house is curated in every detail, the mattresses, pillows, and bathroom supplies are excellent. Everything you need is at hand. P.S. Let Simonetta tell you the story of the neighborhood, truly curious, and indicate the shortcut among houses of great charm in the middle of the greenery.

Excellent location near San Pietro and the red line of the Metro. Nice quiet area even in the evening. The orange room where we stayed is very pretty, quiet, and well-kept. The breakfast is abundant and the owner Simonetta is nice and helpful. I recommend it. Also close to the historical center.

“All'Ombra di San Pietro“ is a simply magnificent structure. Very convenient because it is located a few steps from St. Peter's, in a strategic position: 300 meters from the Cipro metro and very close to the Valle Aurelia metro station. If you arrive from Tiburtina station for example, you can take the little train, et voilá, in 15 minutes of travel and 1 minute walk you have arrived! You will be welcomed by a special lady, her name is Simonetta, very kind, very nice, cordial, discreet, always available and punctual. A guarantee of a perfect host.\n\nThe rooms available are two. One larger, with amaranth tones, very warm in winter, with a large table, refrigerator, and a kit for a hot drink. The bathroom is internal and private. Maximum comfort. The other room is smaller, with a standard capacity, beautiful, colorful, with very particular butterflies painted by our wonderful host.\n\nThe bathroom is always strictly private. When you enter this treasure chest, you will come back, because the hostess is so prismatic and welcoming that you can't wait to see her again! I feel a bit at home for this reason! Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of staying at the B&B 'All'Ombra di San Pietro' for 5 days and I must say that I had a great time. The structure is very clean, the room (I stayed in the orange room) is quiet, perfect in size and attention to detail. Mrs. Simonetta is very kind and helpful. Perfect breakfast. Excellent location both for taking the metro and for walking to the Vatican Museums and St. Peter's. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend some beautiful Roman days feeling at home. Thank you Simonetta!

Property: 2 | Cleaning: 3 | Host: 2 | Location: 1 | Price/Quality: 1

Don't trust all these positive reviews. It's a small apartment with 2-3 rooms. All reviews are written not by real people or by friends of this place. When we have arrived we saw on a table rating from booking about 9. It is a lie. We have come across these pseudo-positive reviews. It is the small-sized apartment, won't turn, won't move. Entrance, elevator all small. The hostess hands over one or two rooms in the apartment. Any noise isolation. Also you feel that always watch you. And still, in the neighboring apartment there is a dog. Rustles. Our plan was to stay 4 nights in Rome. But we stayed here just 1 night and find another place. P. S. When I told that I want to pay with the credit card she made not friendly face. We haven't understood. The hostess (Simonetta) tries to be polite and to smile, but it is impossible to her because it is insincere.

stayed from 07/31/2018 to 08/01/2018

The answer from the host:
Dear guest, I remember you very well, your family and your check-in on the night over the fixed time and I didn't ask you extra-price for that as writen on the site because I always welcome my guests sincerely like friends! But, with my great disappointment, this time I've been returned with a bitter criticism! Certainly I'm sorry that you didn't stay well, but if I can reply about the position that you could see it on Google Maps and yet you chose it, I cannot accept the smallest criticism about the cleaning. I'm obsessed about it and even use Medical products as this is MY HOME! On the contrary I'll be very hard about the positive reviews from my real friends: I can't allow you to say this since the score of 9,2, you saw in my house, comes from different important sites where only the real guests who booked from those sites can write the review!!! In addition how can you dare to insinuate I was annoyed for your payment by credit card when I accepted it? I could have found any excuse which I didn't! And how can you dare to say my smile and my politeness are insincere? I think your disappointment comes from a mistaken idea of the bed and breakfast. In Italy the law permits only a maximum 3 roomed house in which the host MUST live. But the term is often used to describe a cheap hotels and this isn't legal. So the people who prefer an hotel is very much confused and the real bed and breakfast hosts are disadvantaged! I suggest you to read the real definition of bed and breakfast on my site: www. bbombradisanpietro.it under the heading "what's a B&B?" Simonetta.

giovanbattista

At home, a splendid stay! I would start by talking about hospitality, in two words? Mrs. Simonetta! A woman full of vitality, availability, kindness, sympathy, and love for what she does. She welcomed us as if we were old friends, made us feel comfortable immediately, and welcomed us to her establishment. It smells good! We stayed in the Yellow room, I won't comment on the decor here as it's subjective, but it's absolutely worth noting the dedication that the hostess put into making it unique. Some of the portraits hanging on the walls are done by her! Everything is in its place: TV, small fridge, chest of drawers, wardrobe, two bedside lamps (great for both reading and having soft light), table, sofa bed, little balcony (with a view of the Vatican walls and St. Peter's dome!) and bright large window. The bathroom is essential, extremely clean (cleaned daily), there is a hairdryer and the water mixers work very well. Overall, from a hygiene point of view, it's impeccable. The breakfast is Italian, and it's exactly how I would have it at home. And the location? One of the strong points. A stone's throw from the metro and from the "Valle Aurelia" station, lots of bus stops around. In the entrance courtyard, there is a post office with an ATM. Then again, Pubs, Bars, Restaurants, Banks, free and paid parking lots, etc. In short, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and definitely worth trying! We will gladly return, because in addition to the beautiful B&B experience, we met a Super Woman! Thank you, Mrs. Simonetta.

The property is located behind the walls of the Vatican City, a few meters from the metro stop. The room was very clean, well furnished, and with warm colors. We were welcomed very warmly by the owner Simonetta, who immediately proved to be friendly and kind. After giving us all the information to experience Rome at its best, she was willing to accommodate our dietary intolerances, providing us with an excellent breakfast despite the difficulties. Rating 10 out of 10, highly recommended.

"All'Ombra di San Pietro" is indeed true, it is close to the Vatican. The location of the structure is excellent: the metro "Valle Aurelia" is just a few minutes away, allowing you to reach the most significant sights of the city. The room is spacious, welcoming, and clean. Mrs. Simonetta is cordial, kind, and available to solve any difficulties that may arise. The breakfast is good and plentiful. I will certainly return to Rome and will choose this B&B again.
