    What a wonderful experience! Truly lovely and amazing people, who I enjoyed meeting and connecting with. Thank you Mimmo and Roberta! Thank you for coming to pick me up late and making sure I'm comfortable. The atmosphere of the place is very good. It's pleasant and relaxing and the idea beyond the place and education is great and gives good energy to the place. I felt at home. It's beautiful inside and especially out and I loved the pond with the frogs.

    It’s on the countryside with a very charming atmosphere. If you are a nature lover you definitely have to go there. So quiet and calm with chirping birds and cats. As it’s outside of the city, the supermarket is that close, count with it. The room was really lovely, the bed is comfortable. I got a towel and a shower gel also. The hosts are one of the most kindest persons with whom I met ☺️

    It was a little out of the way, slightly difficult for arriving, leaving, and getting food but they offer shuttles and a great pizza restaurant nearby that delivers.

    Friendly staff and a great experience compared to a typical hostel. You also help a school by staying there which feels good.

    Beautiful location, away from the crowds and noise. A great way to relax before continuing on with a trip or hopping on an airplane home. It is a bit out of the way so be sure to contact the Escuelita folks about the best way to get there and the availability of the shuttle. It is located neat the old Roman port of Ostia Antica (Ancient Ostia) which is the archeological site dedicated to the ancient seaport of Rome. It is a huge and interesting site, without crowds of tourists.

    This place is 13 km from the airport, I arrived there at midnight, but if you contact the owner in advance, they will help you book a car at a reasonable price. I really like staying at this hostel, because as I know this is a small private school for children, so everyone here is very kind and everything here is very cute. The owner treated me very well, I want to thank them wholeheartedly.

    The place was lovely and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. I didn't get to spend a lot of time there I was only there for one night, however you could feel the friendliness and good energy of the place. Paul was very friendly and patient in explaining things, and also Giordana who drove me at the airport tried her best to meet my needs. The room was clean and spacious, towels and shampoo were provided and there were also snacks and coffee for breakfast which I found it very handy as long as I was leaving early. I would highly recommend this place and I will also go there myself next time I am in Rome to spend a bit more time on the spacious farm with the lovely cats.

    I have to come to Rome for 1-2 days almost every week and it was my first time staying here. It has a wonderful ambiance, the house is very clean, the surroundings are very calm. They have created a wonderful living space in nature. Everything you will need in the house has been thought of. The common areas are very tidy and hygienic. The rooms are spotless. The owner Paolo is an incredibly sweet person, helpful, smiling and friendly. It is an ideal place to take long walks and spend time in the serenity. If you are looking for a place to stay before or after your flight,or if you want to have a holiday with your friends, or if you come over for a job interview or exams, you can choose it without hesitation. It is far from the city center, it may be a little difficult for public transportation in terms of tourism, but if you have a car, you should stay here. After visiting the wonderful ancient Rome, a rest in nature would be awesome at all! Thank you very much for everything. See you again.
