Our stay at Dante's Hell was fantastic. Highly recommended for its primo location, nicely appointed room, and the feeling of safety and privacy.

After a chaotic day of travel by train, bus, and a lot of walking, we were relieved and quite pleased to arrive at Flavia's building. The location is fantastic, just around the corner from the Pantheon, and near a historic church dating to 1195. The entryway to the building is a grande wooden door, which opens to beautiful hallway nicely done with stone flooring. The lift is pretty narrow, but we did manage to fit two people and luggage in a single ride (but just barely). Flavia's mother greeted us warmly and gave us a walk through and generally set us up with keys, general instructions, etc.

The opening hallway is painted like a fresco, as pictured in the profile. Very nicely done. The bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is private, has nice hot showers, and the tasty snacks are a nice treat. And during our three day stay, we didn't here a single sound from any other guests. However, you will hear street noise, including the clippity-clop of a horse carriage once in a while, and perhaps an early morning truck.

I didn't see Flavia in person, but I was in constant contact via email, seeking out recommendations and travel advice. Her info was spot on.

Being in such historic neighborhood might save you a lot of cab fare too. depending on the heat and your fitness level, you may want to walk the approx 2.5 km to the Vatican. If you prefer not, the bus line is only several blocks away.
