How far outside Rome do you want, and why?

When you say 4* or 5*, what do you consider in a hotel that makes them that rating?
Be aware that in Italy hotel star ratings have a specific legal definition, and it does not mean luxury or quality or amenities. For details on what star ratings in Italy mean see https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopi...tem-Italy.html

star level doesn't matter that much -- what is your actual budget? And is there a reason you want to stay outside the city if you plan on taxi-ing in every day?

Are you going to be working ot attending a school in a set location in Rome? - If so, where? If not - is this a sightseeing trip?

Why do you want to be on the outskirts? Trying to hide from the Family?

Almost the whole country is with in taxi range of Rome. It just starts adding up.

Even if you're driving there are places inside Rome but outside of the ZTL with parking.

You're welcome!

I would have looked in Fiumicino which is a great little coastal town with super restaurants and good transport into Rome.
