    We hit the jackpot with this place! The host was an absolute gem — even before we arrived, she guided us on parking and when we got there, she gave us a mini city guide with insider tips. The room? Gorgeous and spotless, with a romantic vibe, perfect for couples. Location couldn’t be better: great food, subway, and sights just around the corner. Everything was perfect, even the cleaning staff was lovely. 10/10 would move in if we could!

    Very nice rooms in excellent location - 15 min walk to Colloseo, very nice host Camilla, clear instructions how to get to La Casa della Tartarughe. I can strongly recommend and during my next visit in Rome, I will definitely try to book the room there :).

    The toilet seat can be fixed but in general the room was in an excellent condition. We were very pleased with everything.

    Nice area, for families. Walking distance to Colloseum (about 15 min.) and close to the central train station by the metro. There are many restaurants in the area as well as cafés. The building where the room was, was old but very well-preserved and with a beautiful garden inside. The room was very clean and it smelt so nice! It was as shown in the pictures and nicely renovated. The host, Camilla, was a very kind-hearted person and and gave us some basic information. We also got a surprise of a heart-warming card and some sweets for our daughter for Easter in the room.

    Lovely and cosy place to stay during your time in Rome!

    I can't say that there was something that we didn't like as all was very good! If something needs to be mentioned, then only(!) there are some our personal preferences that it takes a bit time in the shower before the how water comes and it would be nice to have an iron available in the room(or a shared one). But both these points are very personal and are not really applicable to everyone.

    We enjoyed the place very much. It was a pleasure to meet Camilla and have a chat! We were delighted to hear a beautiful story about the place. This brings a special touch and makes this place special! We liked the room very much (we stayed in room named Camilla)! The bed was comfortable, the pillow also was comfortable and you can feel well rested in the morning. Also, a nice touch is the garden where apartment is located. It is quite and peaceful place. The location of the apartments is perfect! It is walkable to Coliseum and other beautiful places. There are bunch of places near by to get a coffee and buy groceries (mostly small markets as we understood). Metro (closest is San Giovanni) and bus stations (closest is La Spezia/Monza) are very close which is perfect. You can go to main station Termini by using metro line A and/or go to Coliseum (or that direction) using bus line 81/85 (that we used). Camilla gave a good instructions where to go, what to see, where to eat. If you need any help, she will help you out. If you are looking for a great place to stay, choose La Casa delle Tartarughe! If we ever got to Roma in some time from now on, we will definitely consider staying at Camila's place! Thank You, Camilla, for making our stay at Your family's place wonderful and memorable one for us!

    La casa delle tartarughe was the perfect place for our trip to Rome. Near San Giovanni in Laterano basilica and metro station. About 10 min from Termini station. Nice neighborhood with restaurants and bars. The property is located in a historic building, and the owner is really nice and friendly.

    The surrounding area lets it down, can be a bit noisy as room was next to the street. But only because I am a light sleeper. (Nothing the owner can do) The sink taps in the bathroom look a great idea but get in the way when trying to wash so not practical. Possible some extra milk for tea etc but you can obviously bring extra yourself. The above is only my opinion and would stay again.

    Large room. Clean and tidy. Very welcoming.

    Every thing was perfect.

    Boy O Boy, What a room. Large spacious, neat, high ceilings and very chic with state of the art facilities. The bathroom of our hotel room is as big as our bedroom. I have seldom seen such lavish and modern bathrooms in hotels. I did take some pictures for one of our close friend, who is an interior decorator. The standalone white tub was fitted with Jacuzzi, and the shower area had therapeutic stones set in the floor.

    We could have made use of some bigger glasses (to drink from) and possibly a knife and some plates while having a sandwich or a quick snack.

    We picked the guest house based on its location. It is very close to the city centre both on foot (20 minutes from Colosseo) or by public transport. The area is safe and organised, close to shops and fast food restaurants and a nice park to enjoy nature. The place itself is nicely decorated in a very unique and fine taste just like in a boutique hotel. We especially fancied the wallpaper and the built-in shower. The bed and the cushions were surprisingly comfortable. Last, but not least, the host, Camilla is extremely hospitable, friendly, helpful and we even got a small gift to remind us of our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice spot to stay while enjoying the bustling city of Rome.

    The bathroom tiles could do with a little touch up and there was abslt no cosmetics provided. The staff was nowhere to be seen if you needed anything. Despite a do not disturb sign, the maids were in the room although we were leaving the next morning and there was no need to clean since we were in the room only to sleep.

    The room is spacious and the bathroom is big enough. The place is close to the metro station, a supermarket and a little mall. The bed was comfy and it was clean. There is an nespresso machine and complimentary pods and kettle. The shower was great and water pressure excellent. There is a little fridge as well.

    The apt facing the main road was very noisy during night because of the traffic.

    Very friendly and welcoming owner. Apts were clean and cleaned every day with fresh towels. Coffee and tea making facilities in the room. The hydromassage bathtub was just perfect relax after long day of walking. The location was also fine, close to metro and 20 mins to coloseum.
