Guest House Arco dei Tolomei

Wonderful hosts, great location! The house/rooms however could benefit from some TLC (tender loving care). Refreshed with a coat of paint perhaps. And the empty terrace would be a wonderful place to sit for a bit…if allowed and set up as such. Our room was dark so I would have liked a moment or two out there.

We had the most lovely stay at this authentic, beautiful, guest house filled with antiques, artwork and the most delicious homemade jams! Marco and his wife were quintessential Italians full of charm, sophistication and warmth. Visiting with them over breakfast (which was fantastic) felt like we were spending time with dear, old friends. Our room was comfortable and the location was superb. We highly recommend staying here!

Loved this Trastavere hidden gem on a quiet side-street. My boyfriend and I enjoyed coming home to this quiet, calm retreat and sitting on our private balcony after a long day of exploring. We were warmly welcomed and we enjoyed talking with Marco and other guests around the breakfast table, which was laid out with a lovely variety of delicious options. I recommend.

We were looking for authentic Italian accommodations while in Rome and Guest House Arco dei Tolomei was perfect for us. From the charming antiques and vintage furnishings to the wonderfully prepared breakfasts of homemade jams and juices our 7 night stay was truly delightful. The best part of our stay was Marco and George. We've never experienced this level of hospitality and care before. George took such good care of us and we looked forward to his breakfasts everyday. We enjoyed talking with Marco each morning at breakfast. Marco's passion for his city and appreciation for his guests make him a very special host.

Fabulous accommodation in a fabulous area of Rome; Trastevere. Marco (owner) & George (household helper) very warm and English speaking. Very much enjoyed breakfast each morning and my room was so pretty and comfortable. Loved having my window on to the piazza open. Will always stay here when in Rome, I loved it so very much. Easy to get to from Termini Station, well serviced by buses also, 5 minute walk. Only reason for 4 stars not 5 was the shower. Takes a long time for the hot water to kick in and to adjust temperature, low water pressure and small head. Once temperature set at first shower, press it off without moving the handle and your next showers will be fine. Fine to get clean in, not relax in but other than that, perfect, perfect, perfect accommodation.

Me and my grandmother had the best stay here in Rome. Marco, his wife and George are so friendly and always there to help you. The location was perfect, Trastevere is a nice spot to stay with a lot of places to eat nearby. The room was clean, spacious and had comfortable beds. The breakfast was amazing, enough to choose from and the home made jam is the best! Definitely recommended and if we come back to Rome once more we will definitely book this Guest House again!

My husband and I stayed here only one night in order to be able to get to the airport quickly in the morning after vacationing elsewhere in Italy. The best part was the location, in easy walking distance to the restaurants and bars in Trastevere but on a quiet side street away from the hubbub. Our room was adequate for a one night stay. It was very dark with an updated bathroom, although the hairdryer was broken. We left before breakfast in a taxi the person who checked us in had arranged for us. The emails I sent to them in the weeks before our stay asking about airport transportation had gone unanswered. Next time I'll look for a different place to stay in the same neighborhood.

Marco was an amazing host. He gave us such excellent directions on how to find the guesthouse and answered all my pre-arrival questions quickly and with such heartfelt kindness. The Guesthouse is a lovely place to stay. Not only is the location convenient for walking to many of the important sights in Rome-it is surrounded by wonderful restaurants. Although we didn't have the pleasure of meeting Marco in person, George was there for us and made our stay delightful. He greeted us on our arrival and helped get us to the airport on time. Marco was out of the country while we were there and left us a nice letter welcoming us in our room with restaurant suggestions and details of our stay. Marco also helped us get a reservation at a restaurant we were anxious to try! I could go on- but honestly don't waste time looking for a better place to stay in Rome, because you will never find one! Thank you Marco and George for the fantastic stay!

We stayed here for a week while in Rome, and found everything about this place to be very lovely. The owners are charming and helpful, sending a list of suggestions well before our stay, so we could make some reservations at more popular sites. Being on the quiet side of the river was one of the highlights. Our first few jet-lagged days were spent wandering the neighborhood-- lots to see. Breakfast is served in a beautiful room lovingly decorated. Rooms are air conditioned, which was nice the one or two afternoons when it got warm. Highly recommended.
