B&B Villa Roma

Very friendly hosts. Great breakfast

Very quiet room facing away from the street - always a main concern for me. Of course, there is zero view from the window, but we were not there for the view. Room was spacious enough, with a desk. Bathroom was large enough - shower stall was large enough. Bed was very comfortable with quality sheets and good pillows. Extra blankets were available in the footlocker at the foot of the bed. All very clean. Breakfast was quite satisfactory, with very tasty apple croissants, juice, coffee, yoghurt, cheese, bread, jam, butter, fruit. Perhaps the option for a boiled egg (no messy dishes) would be a good idea. Breakfast room faces southeast - LOTS of sun coming in at breakfast - very nice. We were the only people there (end Nov) and felt like the dining area was part of our own space. We are working while travelling, so appreciated the space. Hosts were very kind and gentle. My wife was not feeling well, and we showed up a few hours before the formal "check-in" time, and we happened to cross paths with the host on the street, and he was very accommodating, allowing us to check-in early in the afternoon so that my wife could rest. Location is OK - the B&B looks out on a valley with unobstructed views - this seems to be a very rare thing in a town that appears to be a rabbit warren of narrow streets with very high density 3-4 story buildings facing each other. There are several other B&Bs further up the road, but none appear to look out into open space. Parking was on some type of entrance area to a park across the street (free? We didn't pay anything). The owner suggested we put our car there - just 20m away from the door. Internet was very good.

No review is complete without a few constructive criticisms. It seems that in Italy, people set the hot water temperature at "just hot enough" for a shower, but never to "stimulatingly hot". Just setting that hot water temperature 2C-3C warmer would turn a utilitarian "time to clean my body" experience into a soothing "semi-spa" shower experience - appreciated in the cool days / morning of late November. The owners might get more business by advertising: "Our water is HOT!". It may cost them 1-2 Euros more / night I suppose. Also, heating was provided only in the bedroom, not in the common area that we were using for working (except during the breakfast service). There is clearly an energy conservation policy in place! Bedside lamps: A gripe I have. It's as if hosts assume no one reads in bed anymore, and everyone is on their phones. Lights are too dim frankly for reading in bed - a common issue in my travels. Give me a good bedside lamp so that I can read in bed. Finally, the couch in the dining area has seen better days. Time to replace it.

Great property, great hosts! Good location, easy parking nearby

オーナー夫婦、子供とも非常に親切に接してくれた。非常思い出に残る滞在でした。

ちょっと、バス停から遠い。1kmぐらいです。

This is a B&B as you always want them to be. I always write my reviews about the accommodations at home after the trip. Then it’s easy for me to pick out the highlights and write a correct representation of the experiences and this in relation to the other visited places. B&B Villa Roma was the ideal place for me to stay during my September trip to Sicily. This in terms of reception, friendliness, comfort, cleanliness and location. I stayed there for 4 nights and from Piazza Armerina I also visited Villa Romana del Casale, Aidone and Morgantina. The B&B is located on the 2nd floor of a beautiful old building (no elevator) and has 3 rooms. My room had 3 beds (1 double bed and 2 single beds). Another room was a double room. Bathrooms are ensuite. I didn’t see the third room. Even though I travelled alone, I got the room with 3 beds. The nice thing here is that you pay per person where I have to pay for the room in many other places despite the fact that I was travelling alone. This room can therefore have 4 different prices depending on how many people you are travelling with. A photo is attached. Apparently this B&B is not very well known yet. In September there were only other travellers for one night. The ensuite bathroom was quite large, very modern and certainly comfortable. My spacious room was also very neat and comfortable. In the apartment there’s a kitchen where the owner comes to prepare breakfast, a dining room where it is served and an entrance hall. It’s possible to leave your luggage in that hallway on the day of check-out. Giuseppino is an extremely friendly and good host. When you check in, he asks you what you like for breakfast the next morning and at what time you want it. Then he buys everything and makes sure it’s ready at that time. Continuation of review below. There are no negative comments !!!

Continuation of the positive experiences: The B&B is located in a street that goes from the new town to the historic centre. At the end of it there’s a good restaurant. During the day there’s traffic on the street. But at night it’s quiet even though my room was located at the front of the building. In 2 minutes you’re in the old town (Piazza Garibaldi). For the Basilica Cattedrale it is a bit of a climb. You can also walk from the B&B to the most beautiful viewpoint of the historic city in about 5 minutes. See other photos. Giuseppe only speaks Italian and I don't at all. But thanks to Google Translate we still talked and laughed a lot with each other. This B&B is highly recommended!

Colazione buona e abbondante con dolci e panini salati espressi, frutta fresca e yogurt. Un bellissimo risveglio
