Not what we expected
Huge hassle, confusion, and expense to get to hotel from airport. No one from hotel available to greet us upon arrival. Person who checked us in was quite unfriendly...don't think she smiled once. Turned out to be a Bizarre stay...was it a farm, hotel, B&B, or residence? Mimo (the chef) was extremely wonderful, helpful, and kind...he was the only good thing about the stay. Got eaten alive by mosquitos. Just happy it was for one night. Should have slept at the airport, honestly.

Not near the airport
We ended up not staying here for the final night of our Italy trip because we were quoted 60 euro cab fare from theairport to the hotel and none of the taxi drivers knew where it was. So we canceled and walked to the Hilton.

nothing like the picture on the email the taxi driver had no idea where to go neither did any of the others cab drivers, it cost more to go to and from the venue than the cost of the hotel if you can call it that , it was not well sign posted , and down a beaten track , I would never recommend this venue to any one

Quiet, Country Retreat
I was surprised to find a country retreat type location so close to Rome airporto stayed the night prior to flying out. Dinner was prepared by the farmhouse resident a trained chef who whipped up a dish from farm fresh ingredients. the settings are rustic with upgraded amenities. Wifi is limited to close proximity to the office. Overall, would stay again, a nice quiet get away

Perfect for the airport
Not what you expect when you arrive - it's an agriturismo which I don't remember seeing in the advert and not what you expect inside - nice and very clean. No shower curtain is a pain but we stayed two nights in the two room apartment which was very comfortable. Breakfast is just ok. A bit disappointed we had to pay 10 euros a night for our little yorkie for the extra cleaning which took about 5 minutes on the first morning. If you are in to pets there are some very friendly cats, dogs, horses, rabbits and a goat. 40 minutes into Rome with one change for the Metro arriving at the Coliseum. Brilliant for the airport only 15 minutes away and would recommend it.

Beautiful country setting, very peaceful and quiet
We loved this place. Within walking distance to the castle and ancient ruins, and restaurants. The host was very accomodating, and since we were leaving very early in the morning, she gave us a care package for the breakfast we were going to miss. The only concern was she spoke no English, so we had a little trouble communicating, and the price of dinner I think was 30 euros per person which was out of our price range.

Friendly, family feel:)
Well I actually booked this place because I thought it was really close to the airport and we could save on transportation, but we actually had to spend more to get a taxi there. However, this place was so cute! Very friendly staff and an amazing dinner prepared for us by them! Since we had to leave very early in the morning they gave us a breakfast basket:) I would recommend that anyone who stays here have a car to get around. I is probably a great place for families that want to have space and let the kids run around.

Charming cottage/hotel in the woods
This place is in the middle of the woods and was not captured by my GPS navigator, which led me to a wrong location.Thankfully, a friendly pizza delivery guy allowed me to follow him in his car to the correct location. We drove through an unpaved road through the woods before reaching the hotel. The office to the reception desk was closed, so we were greeted by the chef and he gave me the keys to my room. The rooms were beautiful. The bathroom was spotless with a lovely large bathtub and all essential amenities. The nights were very comfortable, tranquil and quiet until the rooster wakes you up at six am! Outside of the hotel are various farm animals including a pig, several horses, cats, and a very friendly dog. My 4-year old son and I loved this place so much that we wanted to stay there a few days longer. The backyard also includes a play structure with a swing and see-saw which is perfect for toddlers. The best experience at the hotel were the dinners provided by chef. I have been to the best restaurants in California, and this chef definitely ranks with the best. The cons: Driving through this town is a horrible experience. I recommend leaving the car at the hotel, walking a mile to the train station, and taking the metro train to Rome. Unfortunately, the hotel is in the middle of the woods, so exiting into the streets is about a mile walk. Overall, if you love nature and the comfort of a great hotel in the middle of the woods, this is a great place!

Far from Rome city, VERY close to old Rome ruins
While we were a little worried driving up (dirt, pothole filled road, older buildings) the inside was clean and filled with antiques! Very well maintained inside, rooms very conveniently laid out. We stayed in the 3 bed, which was actually split into 2 rooms with a private bath.

A great & interesting find for family of 6
We are a family of 6 from Australia and were just finishing a month-long holiday in Italy and the UK. We had an overnight stop-off in Rome en route from London. We had already seen the sites of Rome early in the holiday and wanted somewhere to stay reasonably close to the airport (FCO) that could take us all. We can sleep all in one room but prefer to have separate. The approach to the hotel is down a potholed road past fields (with poppies and horses). The buildings looked very quiet as we approached and we initially wondered if we were at the right place. We were quickly welcomed however and were really pleased we chose this. The buildiings are very rural on the outside but our "suite" was enormous with 2 double bedrooms (one with the requested cot) and two more singles downstairs. Beds were very comfortable and the bath/shower good. We had a fabulous full evening meal with all the couses (antipasti with the best mozzarella all trip) and wine in pottery mugs. Breakfast was pastries, sandwiches, cereals, juice and coffee with very attentive service. It felt very rustic and very far from the sameness of big hotel chains (it wouldn't be a natural choice for business trips though). We would have loved to stay longer to explore the grounds and nearby archeological sites of Ostia Antica but needed to catch our plane. A good find and we felt we'd managed to have another taste of Italy before we left

decent place but its on country side
Stay was good and reception and staff is very nice. They helped me alot even if we had difficulty in communicating in English. But just a caution its not actually a hotel its like a country side resort/stay. So dont be surprised if you dont find some service you are expecting from Hotel in City side. The room I got was lavish and more like 4 star stay. It was very clean and had all the amenities i needed. But there was no wi fi connectivity.

Overnight stay close to the airport
We were looking for a place to stay outside of Rome and close to the airport, so that we would not be caught in traffic for our late morning flight. The room is inside to old city which feels very medieval. It is a very nice experience. We got there late in the afternoon, and I would recommend to arrive earlier and to go out to explore the site and the Roman ruins nearby. The room interior is very special and is not a luxury room by any means. There are mosquitoes in the area and the nets are a bit torn, so be prepared. The landlady and the breakfast are in another location, and you need a car or 10-15 mins walk to go there.

Very exotic place, nice to be there for a couple of nights to feel authentic spirit. Not enough comfortable to live more than 3 days but great location. Bathroom and beds are very clean and comfortable, from outside looks like an old village house, close to airport and train station.

Handy for the airport & Ostia antiquities
The room was on its own in the castle area - very quaint and charming. We wanted to be by the airport because we were leaving the next day - the downside was that planes flew overhead every 3 minutes! Luckily, they stopped during the night. The place had character and the small town and nearby antiquites were worth seeing - and we wouldn't have seen them if we hadn't stayed at this hotel. All in all - I'd go back - its convenient when arriving/leaving Fuilminico airport but I would not choose it as a base for visiting Rome.

Amazingly good experience
Getting there and finding the place was a little difficult and we were not sure how the stay would work out. It was one our best stays. The rooms were clean and located in this amazing old castle grounds. There was a wonderful neighborhood grocer where we bought 1eu a bottle good wine! We ate at the mom and pop restaurant in the alley- the food was superb. It would have been nice if the rooms were better lit and the bathroom a little newer. On the whole the place was charming and Moana the lady at the reception was very helpful. The breakfast room is not very accessible.

Wonderful slice of real small-town Italy
This is a wonderful place, but it is very important that you know what to expect and you need to have a little pluck to make it work. This is NOT a traditional hotel, but a family inn with working farm, do not expect Marriot. There are several different buildings throughout Ostia, so there is not always someone at desk; plus very little English. One set of stone buildings is the "country" rooms at the farm, this is at the 18 Via Rainaldo address. The other buildings are in the medieval village in town next to the main castle. The office is at the farm so if you have rooms in the medieval village, go to the farm and someone will drive you to your rooms. We stayed at medieval village. Rooms are like mini-suites; all different. Ostia archeological site is 5-min walk around the corner, perfectly placed. Do have dinner at La Cucina, the hotel's restaurant. Owner/son will pick you up at room and drive you. When we dined there we were only couple, they opened the restaurant just for us and cooked us the best 7-course meal I've ever had. Many ingredients grown on farm + cook was sophisticated gourmet who know's what he is doing. Fixed-price meal was 30 euros/person, including bottle of wine. Family is very into personal travel experience rooted in local culture; they do lots of courses, breed rare local horses on farm, etc. Wonderful experience of REAL Italy. Do print out their webpage with map and cell # to show cab driver so they can find it!

A must for Rome visitors
It was an incredible experience staying in a small house in the Borge - the old walled city, with its 15th Century castle, all a short walk from the Roman ruins. Advice: First, the Borge location is just inside the gate. It's associated with the restaurant (not always open) just outside the gate and with the Country location about a mile away. Phone ahead so someone will meet you at the old city gate. Second, the ancient ruins are vast. Allow at least four hours, more if possible. The time flies. Bottom line: the folks at Rodrigo de Vivar are wonderful, the Borge is magic and the ruins are incredible.
