Guest Reviews
- Matthew (10/5): Great choice in Tivoli - Great location
Very friendly owner
Overlooks the breathtaking Villa d'Este.
If you are in Tivoli, definitely recommend it as a place to stay
Just a heads up, the property is accessed via steep, cobbled streets. Older property, so walls were a bit thin.
- William (10/5): - We were delighted with our stay in Vicolo d'Este. The apartment is very well appointed, modern, spotlessly clean and quiet! The bed is comfortable, and the view out the front door into the Villa d'Este is magnificent.
Massimiliano has been very supportive and helpful in ensuring our comfort.
The apartment is in the medieval quarter of Tivoli, with enchanting and narrow cobblestone streets and staircases.
Fantastic location and a very comfortable apartment which we highly recommend! We loved everything about it.
- Stefan (10/5): -
- Ann (10/5): Comfortable, modern, quiet apartment near center of town - The apartment was very clean and modern and the location was great! 10 min uphill walk to the center of town with lots of restaurants. The apartment borders the Villa d'Este, you can see into the gardens from the front door! But you do have to basically walk into town to enter the Villa and gardens. We were traveling with our two daughters 11 and 13 and they each had their own beds in the second bedroom. The apartment was small with no real designated "living are" to lounge on a couch, but it is very modern, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. Our host was very helpful leading up to check in and helping us with detailed information to park our rental car and find the apartment. There is a process to entering your passport information to an online registration system in order to get a code to open the front door that I found cumbersome, but our host was very quick to respond to help me through it. Not a deal breaker at all, just slightly inconvenient and you should heed the prompts to do this process early and not when you're driving through the Italian countryside like I did:) Overall a great stay.
- Peter (10/5): Perfect place and kitchen view straight in to villa d’este gardens - Everything, this is one of the best places we have stayed in. Parking was a distant away, but owner’s instructions were great.
- Ulrich (10/5): - Top Lage mit Blick in den Park der Villa d'este. Gemütliche Gässchen mit Treppen. Die Unterkunft befindet isch in einem modern ausgebauten alten Haus und bis in jedes Detail sehr liebevoll gestaltet. Alles sehr sauber. Nichts, absolut Top!
- Marco (10/5): Un lugar bucólico en un rincón maravilloso! -
- Jennifer (10/5): A lovely weekend in a beautiful apartment - Perfect location in the old town with a view over the Villa d’Este gardens, it was a very comfortable apartment, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Nothing, everything was spot on! (Just remember that the old town has cobbles and steps, not the easiest with a wheely suitcase!)
- marcelino (10/5): Nice stay - Great location very comfortable Need sofas in the living room
- Gaia (10/5): - Appartamento curatissimo, molto pulito e in una posizione fantastica con vista sui giardini di Villa d'Este.
Molto attento e disponibile l'host, preziosi i consigli su ristoranti, parcheggi, luoghi da visitare.
- Joanne (10/5): The perfect apart - It was well furnished, stylish, clean and comfortable and located in the old part of Tivoli. Great location x Nothing we didn’t like!
- OLEG (10/5): - The property is very cosy and nice. The owner is amazing friendly and helpful. The location is amazing near ancient villa d’Este.
- Frédéric (10/5): Belle location à Tivoli - Très bel appartement, décoré avec goût et très bien équipé. Literie confortable. Vue sur le parc de la Villa d’Este. Propriétaire réactif, sympa et de bon conseil. RAS
- Gaetano (10/5): Sorprendente e magico - Alloggio nella quiete di un vicolo delizioso vicino al centro. L'affaccio all'ingresso dell'appartamento è sulla Villa d'Este ed è impagabile. Ristrutturato con attenzione e gusto. Due camere spaziose e accoglienti e un bel bagno con piccola finestra. Tutto molto pulito. Le foto sul sito non gli rendono giustizia
- Rosa (10/5): Hideaway close to Villa d’Este - You can see inside the Unesco site Villa d’Este gardens from the front door of the house. So it was pretty special and unique.
Also, even though everything was modern and clean, it’s in an old building, so there was also the charm. It’s more towards the bottom so it’s a little climb up and the apartment cannot be easily reached with taxi, so best not to have a lot of luggage.
- Morgane (9/5): Appartement très confortable à quelques mins de la Villa d’Este - Le confort de l’appartement
L’emplacement Tout était parfait
Petit tip pour les vacanciers : si nous ne parvenez pas à ouvrir la porte car vous n’avez pas de connexion internet, connectez-vous à la wifi de l’appartement !)
- Lucia (10/5): A perfect escape - Everything! The location, the decor and facilities in the apartment. Massimilano was so helpful and organised our airport transfer and even booked our restaurant for the first night and recommended places we could eat. He was quick and helpful with his responses when we had queries. The property is beautifully decorated and in the lost gorgeous location overlooking Villa d’Este which is a beautiful place to visit. Tivoli itself is stunning,,so much character. Lovely restaurants and kind people. Nothing
- Debbie (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was very modern and clean. Great location, it’s like staying on a Hollywood set. Highly recommend this property.
- Molly (10/5): So very lovely! - The host, Massimiliano, is absolutely wonderful. He was quick to respond and help us with multiple special requests. He truly took his service to the next level.
-The home is freshly renovated and so darling
-Check in process was easy and smooth opening the door with an automatic lock every time
-everything was very clean when we arrived
-AC worked great
-WiFi worked great
-kitchen was stocked well enough to cook meals
-location is amazing right next to the gardens
Tivoli was beautiful and even better than i remembered from when I visited as a child.
We hope to stay here again! Nothing!
- Chamberlain (10/5): The property was beautiful with wonderful accommodations, a peaceful small-town atmosphere near Villa de Este, and a liv - The property was absolutely beautiful, and the accommodations were wonderful—comfortable, clean, and inviting. Its location near Villa de Este was perfect, offering the charm of a quiet little town while being just steps away from a lively square filled with cafés and restaurants. The atmosphere was both peaceful and welcoming, and everyone we encountered was incredibly kind and helpful. It made for an unforgettable stay. There was nothing that we didn’t like. The only thing that I would mention is the door for the apartment is up a flight of steps. We were looking around for it for five minutes, not terribly long, but just didn’t think to walk up the steps to find it.
- Nicole (10/5): Bellissimo - Location, beautiful and tasteful apartment and very clean and communication with the host was excellent.
Thank you
- Matthew (10/5): Above and beyond expectations for the place. - Fantastic location, beautiful surroundings, comfortable beds, well designed house, communicative host, self check in. Honestly one of the best accommodations I’ve stayed at.
- Jill (9/5): Nice place to stay for a night in Tivoli - The property is excellent and so
Close to Villa D’Este you can her the fountains and see the garden. Sleek and
Modern inside and quaint outside. Very challenging to get to the location with a car. There is a place nearby where you can park to unload, but there was no space there. The road down to the property is not for the faint of heart to drive. Insider tip—park at the garage in the town center and just walk down the hill with your bags. You’ll thank me for this advice!
- Sue (10/5): Treasured memories to hold of lovely Tivoli. - The property was amazing. Beautifully furnished beds were extremely comfortable.
Host fantastic courteous and responsive. Nothing I could not have been more happy with all of the facilities.
- Naama (9/5): Superb - newly renovated, nice design, in the old city. host very helpful
- Vanessa (10/5): Lovely apartment in medieval Tivoli - Stayed for 5 nights and visited the gardens and villas of Tivoli. The apartment is in the medieval centre, which is beautiful. The cobbled roads and a few hills / steps of the area make it unsuitable for wheelchairs. The apartment is stylish, well equipped, immaculately clean and comfortable. The WiFi is very good. Perfect. The hosts were outstanding and so helpful.
- Lynette (10/5): Excellent value for money. Host was always available to respond to any questions and very helpful. He made every effort - Everything was lovely, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The view of the Villa d’Este garden was beautiful. The church bells played a little melody that was charming. It was a bit hard to find the apartment. The walk to the town was all uphill with steps.
- Susan (10/5): A superb location with quality furnishings and linen, towels etc - The location was absolutely wonderful, in the old part of town and right next to the Villa d’Este. We walked into town for dinner, walk to the gardens and didn’t need our car at all while we were there.
Thanks to the host for a great suggestion for dinner and for booking a table. Method of accessing the apartment ended up being a bit of a challenge. However, we figured it out and after that, it was easy.
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional -
- Candise (10/5): We will be back - 2 days was not enough - Beautiful apartment in a lovely little old town Tivoli. Attention to detail… Train and bus strike so that made transfer from Rome a nightmare…
- Jenny (8/5): . - Modern, comfortable and well-equipped, with a tantalising glimpse over the wall into Villa d’Este gardens from the front door. A short walk to Villa d’Este. Difficult to access by car/taxi due to ZTL. Lack of cafes, restaurants, and other amenities in close proximity. Use of Vikey app and electronic entry to property may be a challenge for some.
- Kathy (10/5): Fantastic beautiful apartment for groups sturdy enough to navigate short uphill walk to town - Quiet location on charming street with beautiful view. Well-appointed, luxurious amenities Little hard to find in dark. Walk to town involved stairs
- John (10/5): Exceptional - location to Villa D’Este
- Mike (10/5): Wonderful experience in Tivoli - perfect for an active couple - Beautifully appointed apartment with an outstanding bathroom, bedroom and kitchen. Perfect location in Tivoli, near the Villa D’Este and nearby restaurants. Parking is a challenge that you can’t avoid. We kept our luggage in the car and brought only necessities for our two days. Lots of stairs and steep streets to navigate.
- Ralph (10/5): We loved this place! The apartment is very nice and confortable and the location is great - Our host was great providing us recommendations for dinner, breakfast and things to do. He went the extra mile!
- Ian (10/5): A great stay in a beautifully appointed apartment in a nice location. Would highly recommend - Beautifully decorated, modern, clean with a beautiful view over the garden of villa d’Este Would be nice to have an arm chair to relax in, but appreciate the property is quite small
- Martin (10/5): New world in old world. - This is a brand new, high spec place in the middle of an ancient town.
The schlep to get there is worth it for the view of the gardens and to feel part of the old town. I can’t fault it.
- Lincoln (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ryan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Youngji (10/5): Exceptional! The best stay ever, didn't want to leave. - Fantastic hosts, Massimiliano and his cousin, I can't thank them more for their hospitality and kindness. The location is perfect, not so much recommend to walk from the Tivoli station if you have any heavy luggage(s) with you because of the stairs and a little hills (especially when the weather is too hot during the summer), but it's for sure very doable if you have a light luggage. Besides that it was very central location, having a really nice view over some parts of Villa d'Este, close to many restaurants, bars and the centre of the Tivoli. Very welcoming and helpful hosts, exceptionally clean and nicely decorated home. I wish I can give them more than a 10/10! 100000/10! I was so sad to leave here, will definitely come back some time soon for a longer stay. Thanks for everything Massimiliano and your cousin, you are the best hosts ever!!! 💗 Nothing! Everything is perfect.
- Francois (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean, beautifully renovated apartment in an old building, right next to the Villa d'Este gardens Can park the car near the apartment, though fortunately the owner arranged for us to pass through the ZTL to deposit the luggage
- Gina (10/5): Absolutely gorgeous apartment in a quiet location in this ancient town. Highly recommend!!! - Apartment was like a luxury unit with quality details, furniture and decor. The owner was extremely attentive, helpful and curteous during our last minute booking, arrival and overnight stay. Everything was perfect! I wish all bookings were like this one!!
- Olga (10/5): If I am lucky enough to be in Tivoli again, I will choose only this apartment! - My son and I traveled around Italy throughout May 2024 and stayed in 11 different hotels. I can confidently say that Villa D’Este turned out to be the best apartment for us, even compared to more expensive hotels. The location is wonderful - from the balcony, you can see part of the famous villa. The street itself is like a photographer's dream of medieval Italian streets! And the apartment itself - very, very clean! Very cozy! The kitchen has everything you need to cook (including tea, coffee, and snacks from the hosts). I took several photos of the apartment to apply some ideas in my own home :) A very attentive host helped us figure out the door opening system. I would have loved to stay there longer, but we already had a travel schedule. I highly recommend this apartment - the best choice! Everything was perfect! 100% perfect. Thank you to the owner.
- Meng (10/5): Exceptional - We loved everything.
Super nice staff and host who sent us directions the day before our arrival and helped us with early check-in.
The apartment is beautifully designed and is literally next door to Villa d'este, though you need to walk a few minutes uphill to get to the tickect office of the grand villa.
The whole town of Tivoli is charming. Enjoy nice dinner right in front of the temple of Vesta and take a nice walk back the cozy apartment or do some simple cooking just in the apartment! Absolutely nothing.
- Vasiliki (10/5): Exceptional - The place was amazing. One of the best we ever stayed in. Such a beautiful space with great colours, amazing decoration and very clean. All the amenities were as described and everything was carefully done for our comfort. The communication with the owner was very good as well and he was very prompt and helpful with his replies. It is definitely a reason for us to come back again! The neighbourhood is also amazing with truly a dreamy Italian vibe.
- Schumacher (10/5): Exceptional - Crispy mint condition, very well equipped, nice design, huge attention to the details, perfect location. Guest should mind their luggage size and weight cause it's uphill / downhill walking around 100 m from the nearest possible car stop to the apartments. From the pictures, you might think there is a balcony with villa d'este garden view, but it's not.
- Christopher (10/5): Fabulous apartment in a beautiful place with easy access to Rome. - Very high standard in a great location. Everything was good.
- Ellen (10/5): Exceptional - Nice to have a bit of fruit, coffee etc. There is a steep flight of stairs so beware if you have a heavy suitcase. Overall it was super comfortable, the host was very responsive and we had a very pleasant stay. everything was great!
- Jan (10/5): What a stylish place next to the Villa d'Este garden! - - location, location, location
- exceptional and very stylish apartment, exactly so nice as it look on pictures
- very good equipped kitchen and good a very quality furniture and belongings, like beds and mattress and bed linen
- actually everything look new, clean and in good quality
- spacious and comfortable even for a family of four
- fast and great communication with the owner - we did not want to leave 😃
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect. The apartment had old world charm like the wooden beams in the ceiling but very nicely renovated with all modern amenities
- Kimberly (10/5): Muy magnifico! - Massimiliano kept in touch with us throughout the process. The flat was perfectly located and was just outside Villa d'Este and we could hear the sound of the waterfall. The flat was stocked with all the essentials including coffee, water, cream, toast and jellies. The flat looks like it was just renovated and is modern and very clean. There wasn't a wash machine but we were aware of that when we booked.
- Thomas (10/5): It was perfect. The host responds quickly and is so accommodating. We had everything we needed. - Beautifully decorated, comfortable and very clean. On a quaint street; looked over the gardens at Villa d’ Este.
- Caitriona (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful modern apartment everything you require for a fabulous stay. Beautiful view into villa d'este. Very comfortable apartment. Great location. The host is excellent the best nothing is too much trouble thank you for all your help Absolutely nothing
- Maksims (10/5): Exceptional - Probably the best place to stay in all the Tivoli.
- Marc-olivier (9/5): Wonderful stay in elegant appartement! - We had an excellent stay. The apartment is very pretty and very well located. The bedding is good and we slept well. The kitchen and bathroom are functional. I was a bit surprised by the registration procedure on vikey, but in the end it seems practical. Massimiliano was a wonderdul host and he managed to book restaurant and pub for us. None
- Julie (9/5): Beautiful apartment in excellent location. - Outstanding location for a visit to Villa d’Este and gorgeous apartment. The entry was tricky - WiFi was spotty and stressful to get in the door. Better if they could just send the door code.
Would appreciate a sheet with WiFi code and restaurant suggestions.
- Sherry (10/5): I will suggest this place to everyone. We traveled in many regions and stayed many places, this was our most favorite! - The property is perfectly located. The streets are clean and you feel safe. Not applicable
- Rimma (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful apartment with all necessary things, right in the center of the medieval city, very quiet and cozy. Brand new and stylish decorations. You can see the garden of the villa d este right by the door. Well equipped, milk, cookies, coffee, lemons etc very nice welcoming touch. As it is a zone with a limited traffic we recommend to unload first luggage and then park 600 meters from the apartment, parking piazza massimo. Highly recommend for staying there!
- Marija (10/5): Exceptional - Hard to think of a better location - the place being in the heart of the old city, literally across the fence of Villa d'Este, one of the main tourist attractions.
Inside looks freshly renovated and features beautiful interior design. Very comfy and sparkling clean too, with attention for details (for example, beautiful tiles in tha bathroom, super fluffy towels or hot water kettle and big cups which we as tea drinkers very much appreciated while missed on them at the most other places while traveling in Italy - it is just some examples of many)
The hosts were also very welcoming and attentive to our needs, sharing recommendations that further improved our stay.
- Christina (10/5): Excellent stay in beautiful Tivoli - The location was in the old town in the quieter back streets but only a few minutes walk to the main piazza areas. it overlooked the Villa d'este gardens, and you could hear the water falls from the apartment if you left the window ajar. There was a whole array of breakfast items for us and the kids, it was such a lovely surprise and we felt very well looked after. milk, coffee, yoghurt, cake, crackers, chocolates for halloween and more! So spoilt! The apartment itself was beautiful, lots of nice touches, scented candles, super clean, newly renovated and the comfiest beds we have slept in and we have been travelling for some time. By far the best accommodation we have stayed in. Also Massimmiliano was a super host. Always available and responsive to all our questions. We highly recommend vicolo d'este and would stay again. Also we caught the express train for a day trip to Rome only took 32minutes (make sure you check the timetable!)
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ralica (10/5): Exceptional - The place was amazing. It was clean, super cozy, and really spacious. The apartment didn't only meet our expectations. It exceeded them by a lot. The rooms were neatly organized and didn't feel packed. The apartment was really well supplied with all the utilities one might need to make their stay feel like they're at home.
The best part of it all was the hospitality of the host he was really caring and provided all the necessities that we needed, he was always there willing to help us with whatever we needed. He really made us feel like we're home!
Definitely coming back!
- Isabelle (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is a gem, beautifully decorated in the heart of the old town . Fully functional kitchen. Bathroom equivalent to a 4star hotel. The bed is extremely comfortable. A very friendly host and helpful. Just 400m to city centre via old town coble stone street. Parking possible in paid station at 600m in city centre approx 12euros (16hours). I highly recommend it and definitely book it again on our futur visit in Tivoli.
