Rome Hotel Villa San Pio / Aventino Hill area
Hello - just wondering if anyone has stayed in this hotel and what their thoughts are on it. Also, it is in the Aventino Hill area - close to Circus Maximus - is that a decent area of Rome to stay in? <BR>Thanks

Hi. I just returned from a week's stay at the Villa San Pio, and wanted to let you all know that we thought it was great! The rooms are as immaculate and lovely and they appear on the website, spacious room, upscale neighborhood, great marble baths with Jacuzzi, a very nice outdoor courtyard for breakfast and/or cocktails, friendly staff, etc., etc. The only downside is that you are a bit out of the way - about a 10 minute walk to the Circus Maximus and 15 min. walk to the Colosseum. However, a short walk to good neighborhood eats at night. For 350.000 lire, we thought it was an amazing bargain! Also note that cabs from downtown ran us about $8 a trip, so even if your feet give up, it's not a bad cab ride home... <BR>
