Staying at Pia’s bed and breakfast was one of the best parts of my trip to Rome, and her and Paolo are two of the friendliest people I’ve met! It’s a lovely place that allows you to get a feel for the character of the city, which I appreciated. The room faces the backyard and is quiet, the windows get great afternoon sunlight and have a great view, and you have a private bathroom (the moveable showerhead is above the toilet but I didn’t find this to be a problem and just put the shower curtain over it), which is always a plus. The room is located towards the back away from the dining room, which means that you won’t be disturbed by other guests (who were all so respectful too!). While you don’t get a strong wifi signal, I didn’t find it to be an issue for my short stay and was able to take a group Zoom call at the dining room table with no connectivity issues. Also, the bed is super comfortable, which is always a plus!
It was fantastic to wake up to breakfast every morning and not having to worry about that while traveling. There were croissants, coffee, and bread with jam, as well as fruit juices in the fridge (and even some fruit from Pia’s backyard)! The room and bathroom are also cleaned everyday, which is nice to come home to, and there’s a lock on the door (from both the inside and outside). The neighborhood is cute and convenient, and I was able to walk to all of the places I wanted to visit within 20-30 minutes. Overall, I felt both safe and happy as a solo traveler here, and would stay again in a heartbeat!
