    Beautiful room in lovely old building full of character. Really comfortable bed - slept like a log. They gave us a free upgrade to room with a jacuzzi bath that was great. We really appreciated the free mini bar as well. Nice location close to Gregoriana bridge - loved everything!

    Parking in next door's parking lot would be a bonus.

    Phenomenal accommodations right in central Tivoli. Beautifully renovated historic room where Pope Gregoria stayed in the early 1800's. Large, bright, quiet and very cozy. The hosts(s) were extremely accommodating on the check in and very helpful with restaurant reservations. Outstanding value for money. If you visit Rome, it is worth a detour here to see the extraordinary gardens (UNESCO) and stay at this Palazzo.

    To note: please let the host know your approximate arrival time and they will meet you there. Also ask privately in advance which buzzer to push when you arrive as it is within a larger unit. Don't let this sway you, you will feel like royalty staying here. Tivoli and the hotel exceeded our expectations.

    This is a very unique, clean and well located property. The accommodation was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. It is also walking distance to a number of attractions, the train station and large public parking area.

    This historic building was perfect for three days in central Tivoli, surrounded by medieval streets. We could have spent many more days just exploring the neighborhood. It was a short walk to the Villa d'Este and Villa Gregoriana, or to a bus to Hadrian's Villa. Sarah helped us plan our stay with great itineraries and nearby restaurants. The entire hotel is beautifully decorated with antiques and every amenity. Our room was spacious and spotlessly clean. There was an espresso machine, Netflix, slippers, and a free mini bar stocked with drinks and snacks. The king-sized bed was very comfortable, and the large marble bathroom had great hot-water pressure. We will definitely return here for our next visit.

    Good location for nice restaurants. Walking distance to Villa d’Este. We drove to Hadrians Villa because they had a big parking lot at the entrance.

    Good location to see Villa d’Deste and Hadrians Villa. The property is hard to find. Our gps was confused in Tivoli and sent us in circles. The detailed directions that were sent via email should include, follow the brown signs that say Villa Gregoriana and then you can find the parking area that was recommended.

    We just can't say enough about our fantastic visit to Tivoli and our stay at the elegant, atmospheric Palazzo Papa Gregorio XVI. The rooms are beautiful--with high ceilings, ornate furniture and a modern bathroom.--and extraordinarily comfortable. It is SO quiet. This peaceful vibe, plus incredibly comfortable bed and blackout window shutters gave us great sleeps. On offer are amenities galore: generous toiletries, pastries and drinks, and excellent wifi. Location is superb, on a quiet cobbled street just steps away from bustling piazzas, terrific restaurants and cafes, shops, bakeries, pharmacies, etc. Our host was attentive, though we had lots of privacy. Thank you Sara, Elena, and Mrs. Octavia. We appreciated the great service, including a generous upgrade to the room a pope slept in, plus courtesy rides to and from the train station.

    It really was all wonderful!

    This hotel is a historical building with architectural elements that are probably ancient but the rooms have all the modern comforts. Pope Gregorio the XVI stayed here. Showers, bathtubs, toilets, and bidets are all modern. Nespresso, tea, refrigerators with juices, and packaged treats were all part of the service. It is within walking distance of Villa d'Este. We stayed in the large Pope Gregorio room with a bathtub and shower. I highly recommend this place. The hosts were very enthusiastic sharing their recommendations about Tivoli & we ate an excellent restaurant. We accidentally had an extra night as we left Rome but it turned out to be perfect that we stayed in Tivoli before leaving for the Amalfi coast.

    This is probably the best hotel I have stayed in whilst in Italy! It’s much more beautiful than the pictures. From excellent customer service, friendliest staff ever who gave me clear directions on how to reach the place, size of the room, spa bath and interior of the place, this stay has made my trip to Tivoli magical.

    Stunning building inside, room fabulous with a lovely comfy bed. Spotlessly clean and there were free refrigerated soft drinks and milk for the tea and coffee facilities. We were upgraded and had a dressing room too. Air con pretty quiet and fast. The building is right near the centre of town near a main square and really near the main supermarket( well hidden) . The road was really scenic and very quiet.

    Nothing really, Be aware that there is a flight of stairs you need to haul luggage up, but it's not bad.

    As the other reviews stated, this was an exceptional place - an old building steeped in history (Pope Gregory himself used to stay in our room some 1.5 centuries or so ago), but also very clean and modern. The bed was by far the most comfortable on our trip, and the location was extremely convenient, with parking down the street (we could pull up to the venue to drop our bags right in front, then park in the lot 150 meters away), the town center with great restaurants just right down the street, plus very convenient to Pope Gregory's Villa and an easy walk to the Villa D'Estes too. The staff were wonderful. What's not to like? We didn't make coffee in our room, but erred to have a proper cappuccino and pastry in a restaurant some meters away. A great stay in a lively town with lots of history and things to see.
