Ils ont accepté ma réservation à 21h35, mais les portes sont vérouillées à partir de 20h00. Je me suis fait avoir, je fais des recours pour récupérer mon argent... Soyez vigilent. J'ai évalué à 1 partout, mais je n'ai rien constaté, puisque je ne suis pas entré...
Das Appartement war in einem Hof zu einem Schloss im Zentrum von Ostia Antika. Das hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Das Ambiente war gut. Die Ausstattung war alt aber relativ sauber. Es hat uns gereicht. Die Lage war uns wichtig. Wir hatten kein frühstück im Hotel sondern in der Bar gegenüber. Das hat uns nicht gefallen.
Could have had seperate rooms but it was out of town chickens running around they had a musty smell.we had to share a bath room they never describe the rooms before we arrived!

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.

Flygplatshotell
Bokade pga av närhet till flygplatsen.
Hotellet helt ok fick eget hus på 70 m2 i två plan.
Hyfsat rent.
Frukost ok
Bra värdinna som hjälpte till med transporter mm.
Området lantligt om än lite rufft!
Tillgång till bil ett måste
Kan rekommenderas om du inte har för stora krav!
abbiamo soggiornato una notte per fortuna!! il personale molto gentile su quello non ho nulla da dire, ma per il resto non ci è piaciuto... la camera era un forno crematorio, un caldo tremendo... sulla descrizione c'era scritto ventilatore al soffitto invece hanno provveduto a darci un ventilatore a vortice quelli del tipo quadrati e non rinfrescava per niente...sempre sulla descrizione della camera c'era l'acqua gratis e il frigo bar fornito invece non abbiamo trovato nulla... tv che non funzionava...e poi era nell'area comune e non in camera...la stanza è venuta 60 euro e sinceramente a quel prezzo ci sono alberghi migliori...mi spiace ma non ci torniamo..
This place is a scam
When I called the hotel they told me that they did not have my reservation and that I will not be able to stay also I was not able to find the hotel
I called hotel.com and they called and they al of a sudden found my reservation after that they started calling me non stop to go to the hotel but I was at a different hotel already hotel.com did give me a full refund for this.
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.

Albergo posizionato in zona strategica.
Soggiorno per affari e faccende varie. Utile il posizionamento dell'hotel.
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
L'Agriturismo è ben collocato nei pressi dell'aeroporto e della Fiera di Roma non risentendo in alcun modo, per quanto riguarda i disagi, di tale vicinanza.
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
letto comodo, camera accogliente e personale gentile e disponibile

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.
PASAMOS 2 DIAS Y 1 NOCHE EN ESPERA DE VUELO EN FIUMICINO,EN ESTE SENTIDO UBICADO A 10 MIN DEL AEROPUERTO. EL HOTEL POR SI MISMO ESTA´UBICADO EN LA PARTE AGRICOLA DE ROMA, OJO QUE A 10 MIN CAMINANDO SE ENCUENTRA SCAVI OSTIA ANTICA QUE ES PARQUE ARQUEOLOGICO MAS GRANDE DE EUROPA, ES IMPRESINANTE.EL HOTEL UN LIRISMO PURO, UN ENCANTO ITALIANO, TODO ANTIGUO.
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.
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.
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
