“A quiet respite amid the big draws of Rome”

What a find in a great location! Giorgia is a fantastic host, eager to get your visit going with a complimentary bottle of wine and a quick tour of the self-serve kitchen. The neighborhood quiets down in the evening, so outside noise was never an issue despite facing the street. Several major attractions are all within a 10-15 minute walk. A great experience overall. More interesting than bad: the walls seem fairly thin, or we just had some loud neighbors. One neighbor could be easily heard having an animated phone conversation (though the actual words were muddled). The other neighbor sounded like they were drawing on a wall-mounted chalkboard one evening. Even then, these were very short-lived episodes, and everyone in the area seems to keep to a normal day/night schedule. Just be mindful of your own noise as well, and you'll love this place.

“Interesting Experience to Say the Least”

The location was great for us and what we had planned. The checking experience was very easy and pleasant. However, the room had some issues with the plumbing as the shower wouldn't drain, the bed was very hard and uncomfortable for our preferences, and not sure what bugs bit us but we got munched … more

The location was great for us and what we had planned. The checking experience was very easy and pleasant. However, the room had some issues with the plumbing as the shower wouldn't drain, the bed was very hard and uncomfortable for our preferences, and not sure what bugs bit us but we got munched on during the night and had multiple bumps. It is of course in the city and was very loud which was to be expected outside. However, the noise from the other rooms is very noticeable as in the mornings my sister and I had to suffer through a woman having a very lovely time if you catch my drift, not that we are prudes at all, she just sounded like a dying cat the whole time.

“Average (not luxury) Stay in Rome”

My husband and I stayed here for three nights at the end of December. Pros: Great location. A 5 - 10 minute walk from the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, etc. Clean. Decent Wifi. Owners kept in good connection via WhatsApp (never saw them on the property, including at Check-in thoug… more

My husband and I stayed here for three nights at the end of December. Pros: Great location. A 5 - 10 minute walk from the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, etc. Clean. Decent Wifi. Owners kept in good connection via WhatsApp (never saw them on the property, including at Check-in though) Cons: The smallest room I've ever seen (and yes, I've stayed all over Europe, including Rome). The shower was IMPOSSIBLE to shave your legs in or really even move. Four TV channels, one having the occasional English. Yes, I know you aren't here to watch TV, but watching a half hour before bed can be nice. Blatant lies about services. Their web site says you receive breakfast off-site and and my booking said breakfast included. When I asked them on WhatsApp where we could find breakfast, they said they don't offer it. They couldn't explain why my booking confirmation said that and told me the web site was an old page from old owners (yet where their new page is, I don't know). They did offer to give us cereal, but by the time we went back and forth I didn't want to bother. The point wasn't so much that we didn't get the breakfast, it was more that they kept acting like I was crazy for thinking we should get it. Overall, I would NOT stay at or recommend the "Luxury" Locanda Del Sole. We had friends staying at an AirBNB right down the road that was MUCH MUCH nicer and bigger for barely more than what we paid!
