Hotel Villa San Pio

This is my second stay at Hotel Villa San Pio and I’m so happy to return. It’s up on Aventino Hill, near the beautiful Giardino Degli Aranci and above Circo Massimo. A proper Italian villa, surrounded by flowers and shady, beautiful gardens (plumbago, bouganvillea, magnolia and star jasmine for the plant lovers). Think monogrammed linen, little balconies, hand-painted Italian motifs on the walls and doors and delightful, elegant rooms. After the hustle of central Rome, it is an absolute delight to return to this calm and cool hotel and to wake in the morning to the sound of birds instead of traffic and sirens. The free breakfast is lovely, and you can eat in the shady garden in a number of seating areas. Honestly cannot recommend this hotel more - I will return whenever I am in Rome. Grazie

This hotel is gorgeous: the rooms and bathrooms are impeccably, the plentiful breakfast in the beautiful garden is included, the views of Rome from the hotel room balconies are breathtaking and make you want to linger all day, and the hotel is a two minute walk to the now-famous keyhole view of St. Peter's as well as the church of Santa Sabina, and the magnificent sunsets at the Parco Savello. I stay here everytime I'm in Rome, and I never want to leave. On a recent visit in June 2025, Matteo and the entire staff were, as always, wonderful.

Great Exceptional Service 💯 Service was just superb! Food was great. Environment was very clean, friendly, respectful and relaxing. Also walking distance to nice restaurants and bars and historical sites should you wish to go for sightseeing. Overall experience was excellent ♥️💯♥️

Not in city center but close enough, clean, stylish and quiet. Superb garden for breakfast or a cocktail in the evening, professional staff.

The San Pio - and the Aventino in general - is a lovely oasis of calm and beauty in Rome - filled with old-world charm and aesthetic. The hotel is in a beautiful setting, with well-tended landscaping surrounding the public outdoor spaces between the different villa buildings. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful, and the breakfast was terrific. The room was very well appointed and comfortable. Rome is an amazing - yet often overwhelming - city. The San Pio (and its sister hotels) are a welcome respite away from the crowds, yet not far from the sights. Highly recommended.

Very nice hotel. Beautiful decor and rooms; large for a European hotel. Minor things like low water pressure only add to its charm; we loved our stay. In a quiet area close to restaurants and markets. Excellent service and staff. Lovely breakfast area with great food. Would definitely stay here again.
